Here's something I'll never tire of in cinema - watching hot girls punching people out. So simple, yet so thoroughly satisfying to watch.
From the sneak peek trailer of
Sucker Punch, which previewed at Comic-Con over the weekend, this new fantasy/action flick from Zack Snyder is going to well and truly deliver that delight.
The synopsis of the film is that a young girl (Emily Browning) is institutionalised by her wicked stepfather. Retreating to an alternative reality as a coping strategy, she envisions a plan which will help her escape from the facility.
From the clip shown at Comic-Con it also involves plenty of sexy burlesque style dancing, fishnet stockings, hardcore machine guns and leather outfits.
... It actually sounds a bit gross from that description, but the trailer was actually pretty awe-inspiring. And it wins extra points for starring two excellent Australian ladies.
Melbourne-born Emily Browning is almost unrecognisable as Baby Doll, the main character. Supporting her in her quest for freedom are four other hot warriors played by Jamie Chung, Vanessa Hudgens, Jena Malone and Abbie Cornish. Jon Hamm and Carla Gugino are also in the film.
This is a preview pic (which has been scanned and is rubbish quality. Apologies).
Here's an explanation and some images from Clevver TV.
