Zack Snyder talks ‘Sucker Punch’
Director Zack Snyder has been on a promotion giving ‘Watchmen’ some pretty unnecessary promotion. Seriously, the film is gonna be friggin’ huge. I don’t think they need to spend another dime on TV spots or promotional interviews.
Anywho, Snyder has told a number of sources that his next film will be ‘Sucker Punch’. Snyder says filming will begin this fall with a goal of releasing it in March of 2011. It will feature an all-girl cast, it’s an action film, it’s going to be rated R, and Snyder refers to the film as “an ‘Alice in Wonderland’ with machine guns.”
‘Sucker Punch’ takes place in the late 60’s, and it’s about a girl that’s been committed to an insane asylum. She fantasizes that she can escape and she has these crazy adventures in her mind where she goes into the past and into the future.
Snyder also has some rather loose information about who might be in the lead role which he revealed to IESB.net.
Here’s an excerpt from their interview with the director:
IESB: I am hearing a name that may be the lead in Sucker Punch.
ZS: What name have you heard?
IESB: Amanda Seyfried.
ZS: Where did you hear that from? You’re good! We’ll see, we’re trying to so…She’s great.
IESB: She is great.
ZS: She’s cool. So we’ll see.
IESB: How close?
ZS: I don’t know, I mean, she’s got some other obligations and we’re just trying to figure that out.
IESB: They just signed her up for something else recently right?
ZS: Yeah, that’s not the thing I am worried about but anyway, I won’t go into it, but let’s just say…I think we’re looking at, like, what I would consider a lot of great, really great girls. Because it’s all girls so it’s like, yeah.
IESB: But potentially she would be the lead.
ZS: It would be great if it worked out.
Apparently, Seyfried would be filling one of five lead roles in this big-budget, action flick. We’ll bring you the latest on ‘Sucker Punch’ when more news comes out.
