Wouldn’t you say Zack’s Snyder’s SUCKER PUNCH looks artificial enough without the aide of shoddy 3D post-conversion?
Back in July, the visionary director made it known he had no plans to encumber the film with such a gimmicky cash-grab, but now a new poster for Samsung’s upcoming “The Ultimate 3D Cinematic Experience” screenings claims the film WILL be shown in three-dimensions. Hmmm. What gives?!?
As you can see below (via Bleeding Cool), the new BFI IMAX event poster has SUCKER PUNCH listed for a March screening, with other 3D works that include TRON: LEGACY, MARS NEEDS MUMS and PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES.
So, is it a simple marketing mistake, or was Snyder not being entirely truthful about his intentions back in the summer? Do you think SUCKER PUNCH should be in 3D or does the action look engrossing enough in what Snyder calls “eye-numbing 2D?”
Beginning March 25th:
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.
The Chung!
