Sucker Punch News

Jamie Chung is one of a number of beauties signed on for Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch.

In a recent interview with E! News, the actress spoke on the training she's been undergoing for the shoot, courtesy of... Navy SEALs?!?

"We have Navy SEALs doing physical training, and then we have stunt and fight choreographers from Watchman and 300," said Chung, who will play Amber in the action-packed fantasy movie. "It's going to be awesome."

But forget fighting. Chung added that she's most scared about a different aspect of the film: singing.

The actress and costars Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, Emily Browning, Carla Gugino and Oscar Isaac have already begun recording tracks for the movie, which sounds like a combination of a number of genres.

"I have to say that's the most terrifying part, because I don't sing," she said. "I'm working on it, but just because I'm Korean doesn't mean I karaoke."

Most recently seen in Body of Lies, and set for the role of Prince John in Robin Hood, Oscar Isaac has joined the cast of Sucker Punch.

The Zack Snyder-directed thriller focuses on a girl who's institutionalized by her stepfather and proceeds to retreat into an alternative reality. Emily Browning plays the main character.

The rest of the eclectic cast is filled by Carla Gugino, Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung, Jena Malone, Scott Glenn and Abbie Cornish.

Jon Hamm is building on the small screen success of Mad Men... by signing on to one of the most highly-anticipated movies of 2010!

The actor will join Vanessa Hudgens in the upcoming Zack Snyder the action fantasy Sucker Punch.

Hamm will portray a mysterious gambling man named High Roller. The movie itself is set in the 1950s and centers on  a young girl who faces a lobotomy after being committed to a mental hospital by her stepfather.

Sucker Punch costars Abbie Cornish, Carla Gugino, Jamie Chung and Jena Malone. Hamm will startt work after wrapping the current third season of his hit AMC show, as well as the Ben Affleck-directed crime flick The Town.

Carla Gugino will soon be reunited with Watchmen Zack Snyder.

She's signed on for Sucker Punch, the director's next project, which is scheduled for a March 25, 2011 release.

The movie is focused on Babydoll (Emily Browning), a character that is confined to a mental hospital by her stepfather.

While there, she imagines an alternative reality to hide her from the pain; in that universe, she starts to plan her escape, requiring five objects to help get her out before she is deflowered by a vile man.

Gugino will portray a nurse in the insane asylum. Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung, Jena Malone and Abbie Cornish co-star.

Vanessa Hudgens is making something very clear: she really wants to move on from the High School Musical franchise.

The young actress, who rose to stardom on the Disney Channel in the innocent role of Gabriella, won't just appear in director Zack Snyder's next movie, Sucker Punch; she might get naked in it!

In a recent article with the U.K.'s Metro, Hudgens said she'll be stripping down for her role as a hooker.

"I'm playing a character named Blondie and it's set in a brothel in the 1950s, so there's not a whole lot of clothes," she said.

It's okay to get excited, guys. Hudgens turns 21 in December.

Zack Snyder, the director behind action movies such as 300 and Watchmen, is already at work on his next project.

Sucker Punch will focus on a group of institutionalized young girls that use fantasy to escape from their horrible, everyday lives. It stars Jamie Chung, Jena Malone and Vanessa Hudgens.

Wait... Vanessa Hudgens? From High School Musical? In a Zack Snyder movie?!?

“She rehearsed, she did the audition for the scene. I wasn’t sure at first – [the casting people] were like ‘Oh, Vanessa’s coming’ and I was ‘Oh, okay - that sounds cool’ but I didn’t know what to think," Snyder told MTV.

“Then I saw the tape and I literally went ‘Wow, she’s good.' She’s really good. Then I talked to her about what she’d have to do.”

The director said that fans of High School Musical will barely even recognize Hudgens in this new role.

“You’re going to see her shooting machine guns, fighting, beating the sh-t out of people,” he said. “It’s funny - we sat her down for her physical evaluation, and she was really athletic. She’s a dancer, so all the choreography is gonna be fun for her.”

Jamie Chung and Jena Malone have joined the cast of Sucker Punch, director Zack Snyder's upcoming, all-female action fantasy.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Chung (pictured) and Malone join Emily Browning, Vanessa Hudgens and Abbie Cornish in the movie.

Set in the 1950s, Sucker Punch focuses on a girl confined to a mental institution by her evil stepfather, who intends to have her lobotomized in five days. Ouch!

While there, she imagines an alternate reality to hide from the pain.

Watchmen has struggled to cross $100 million domestically, but the movie's underwhelming box office haul hasn't destroyed Warner Bros.' faith in director Zack Snyder.

The studio has already signed on to distribute his next movie: Sucker Punch.

"All the studio has ever said to me is, 'We are proud of Watchmen, we think it's awesome and we stand behind it,'" Snyder told Entertainment Weekly. "They've never said, 'Ahh, it could have been shorter,' or, 'Too bad it's so R-ish.' And that's really cool. I'm challenging them again with Sucker Punch."

The drama will star a cast of young women, including Vanessa Hudgens, Evan Rachel Wood, Emma Stone, Abby Cornish and Emily Browning in the lead role.

According to Snyder, the actresses, who portray a unit of insane asylum inmates, are all close to finalizing their contracts.

"They are all super excited because they get to play these juicy, mentally difficult roles, plus they get to fight," Snyder said. "We need to get the deals done because they've got a lot of fight training to do."

With Watchmen doing well in the theaters, Zack Snyder has lined up his next project.

The director will helm Sucker Punch, an all-girl action movie that he co-wrote. He says it's "crazier than anything" he's ever done.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sucker Punch focuses on a girl named Babyface that is institutionalized by her stepfather and retreats to a fantasy world to escape. Snyder describes the movie as "Alice in Wonderland with machine guns."

The cast includes: Amanda Seyfried (Mamma Mia) as Babyface; she'll be joined by Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical), Abbie Cornish (A Good Year), Evan Rachel Wood (The Wrestler) and Emma Stone (Superbad).
