Sucker Punch is an upcoming American action-fantasy film written by Steve Shibuya and Zack Snyder, and directed by Snyder.^[2][3]Sucker Punch features an ensemble female cast^[4] that includes Emily Browning, Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone, Vanessa Hudgens and Jamie Chung. The film follows a young girl in the 1950s about to be lobotomized as she attempts to escape an asylum with her inmate friends.

Development began in March 2007. The script, which was penned by Snyder and Shibuya, was finalized in five years and was actually planned to be made first before Watchmen. For Sucker Punch, Snyder gathered most of the Vancouver-based production team who worked on Watchmen.^[5] Pre-production took place in Los Angeles in June 2009, then moved to Vancouver in July. Principal photography began in September 2009 and concluded in January 2010; filming took place in Vancouver.

Sucker Punch is scheduled to be released in both conventional and IMAX theatres on March 25, 2011.^[6] It was earlier said to be released in October 8, 2010, but it was pushed back instead.^[7] Snyder is currently mapping out the Blu-ray interactivity for the film in preparation for the film's home media release.^[8]

Snyder has described the film as "Alice in Wonderland with machine guns", including dragons, B-52 bombers and brothels. Snyder's wife and producing partner Deborah Snyder concludes, "in the end, it's about this girl's survival and what she needs to do to be able to cope."^[9]

In February 2009, Snyder released a short synopsis of Sucker Punch which states: "Set in the 1950s, it tells the story of Baby Doll (Browning), who is trying to hide from the pain caused by her evil stepfather and lobotomy. She ends up in mental institution in Brattleboro, Vermont, and while there she starts to imagine an alternate reality. She plans to escape from that imaginary world but to do that she needs to steal five objects before she is captured by an unknown adversary. She has 5 days to escape before being lobotomized. In order to cope with the situation, she enters the hyper-real world of her imagination, and the lines between reality and dream begin to blur. She is joined with friends who are inmates from the institution. Lessons learned in the said fantasy world could help the girls escape their real-world fate."

I'm sort of tired of the slow down/speed up action approach. Wasn't all that surprised to see the guy from 300 attached to it.

Other than that it looks interesting.

Looks quite interesting but all the glam makeup and false eyelashes in prison is hilarious.

Would have been cool if they were made to look plain in the real world and all totally whored out in the fantasy scenes.

Agreed. Zack Snyder said during the making of Watchmen that he likes the device and will keep using it in future films. In that regard I can respect the guy for having a "thing". I just hope it's not overused or used in the wrong scenes. In 300 it was over done (but that movie is a living cartoon, so it mostly works) and in Watchmen I felt like he used it in some weird places.

I noticed that way back on the teaster trailer and again on this full-length version. I'm wondering if it's going to turn out that more of it is in her head than they're letting on. That would make the varying use of makeup (and the levels do change throughout the trailer) make more sense.

I can't WAIT for this. Zach is directing the next Superman movie. That shit will be hella epic.
