I don’t know if it actually has anything relevant to do with Zack Snyder’s SUCKER PUNCH, but this new animated short, titled “The Trenches” and set in one of the film’s fantasy worlds, is really well done and worth a look. Depicting the backstory of one of many imaginary WWI soldiers, the short brings a human (so to speak) face to the seemingly robotic villains our leads must square off against… I dig it.
The synopsis for the three-minute short: In Sucker Punch, the girls face off against an army of mechanized WWI soldiers. Through the use of clockwork and steam technology, human soldiers who die in battle are reanimated and sent back to the front lines. Although seemingly indistinguishable and soulless, the zombie army is not just made of gears and steam, but also of human flesh, bone, and memory. In “The Trenches” there is a tragic tale behind each lifeless mask.
A very neat tie-in, if I may say so myself. take a peek at it below and prepare yourself for SUCKER PUNCH when it hits theaters on MARCH 25th.
