One film helping jumpstart the blockbuster season is Zack Snyder’s SUCKER PUNCH, which swings into theaters March 25th. With about six weeks out, Warner Bros. has slapped up a new banner-poster for the estrogen-fuelled actioner. The lovely lady featured this time around? One Emily Browning, aka Baby Doll!
As you can see above, Baby Doll is doing all she can to fend off a giant Viking-robot f*cker with a gun as big as she is. My guess is her miniskirt will be the secret weapon!
Written with Snyder by Steve Shibuya, SUCKER PUNCH warns:
Close your eyes. Open your mind. You will be unprepared.
“Sucker Punch” is an epic action fantasy that takes us into the vivid imagination of a young girl whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality. Unrestrained by the boundaries of time and place, she is free to go where her mind takes her, and her incredible adventures blur the lines between what’s real and what is imaginary.
She has been locked away against her will, but Babydoll (Emily Browning) has not lost her will to survive. Determined to fight for her freedom, she urges four other young girls—the outspoken Rocket (Jena Malone), the street-smart Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), the fiercely loyal Amber (Jamie Chung) and the reluctant Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish)—to band together and try to escape their terrible fate at the hands of their captors, Blue (Oscar Isaac), Madam Gorski (Carla Gugino) and the High Roller (Jon Hamm).
Led by Babydoll, the girls engage in fantastical warfare against everything from samurais to serpents, with a virtual arsenal at their disposal. Together, they must decide what they are willing to sacrifice in order to stay alive. But with the help of a Wise Man (Scott Glenn), their unbelievable journey—if they succeed—will set them free.
