As excited as I am for Zack Snyder's "Sucker Punch" to get underway, we still really don't know that much about it other than the the basic premise (an institutionalized girl retreats into an alternative reality in order to try and escape the mental hospital), but as for exactly what takes place and how it'll all look, that still remains a secret. Abbie Cornish, who plays one of the four "wild-child" friends of the lead character Baby Doll in the movie, revealed just a bit more about what's going on. Cornish plays Sweetpea, the leader of the group of friends that includes Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung, and Jena Malon. "The film is a dream in a way," she said. "It operates on three levels. A reality, then a sub-reality where the psych ward world shifts into this strange high-roller's brothel. Then there's this dream world where it goes into these crazy action sequences that are totally removed from time and space." Although Sweetpea is in the same mental hospital, in the dream world "all of a sudden she becomes a crazy killing machine and she's decked out in a really cool outfit."
And if you're wondering if there will be a lot of fighting, you're right. Snyder is putting all five of the girls through Spartan-like fight training and conditioning in Vancouver at the moment.
"Sometimes I forget I'm an actor. We're training so hard." She said their five-day-a-week morning is "doing martial fighting, swords and choreography - just kicking butt with guns and everything imaginable. And then we do a training session in the afternoon. It's like being a stunt person, really, not an actor at all."
Five beautiful women all doing hardcore fight training? I'm in. Are you?
More news to come! Catch ya' later!
