Sucker Punch! Trailer!!!


I'm not going to lie, its not adapted from a book, graphic novel or comic but just the trailer has made me unequivocally, manically excited! It just looks brilliant.

Zack Snyder (the director) has described Sucker Punch as "Alice in Wonderland with machine guns"

Visually Snyder is uncomparatable at the moment for artistic direction. Similar to Burton or Taranto, you know when your watching Snyder. Snyder is creating a visual signature for himself. The trailer follows The Watchmen with an almost immaculate PS3appearance that makes you want to watch the movie on a big screen.

The film actually has a Quentin Tarantino meets Baz Luhrmann/Death Proof meet Moulin Rouge. Girls with huge machine guns and burlesque show clothes

The plot is revealed in the trailer. Set in the 1950's, Babydoll has been institutioned in a mental hospital after murdering her Step Father. Facing lobotomy she must delve into a imaginary world to escape reality and her fate. Taking her inmates with her reality and fantasy are blurred as they enter a world of ww2 machinery, samurai swords and dragons.
