If you have not yet heard about Zack Snyder’s upcoming epic SUCKER PUNCH, you should probably start by watching the wild trailer for the film, which looks like a comic book and gaming enthusiast’s fever dream. Today we’ve got a new featurette for you to check out, which also gives us our first look at MAD MEN‘s Jon Hamm, who is one of many recognizable faces appearing in the film. Love him or hate him, Snyder knows how to make great eye candy, and this film looks to be even levels beyond anything else he’s done to date. The film stars Jon Hamm, Emily Browning, Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung, Carla Gugino, Jena Malone, Abbie Cornish, and Scott Glenn. The official synopsis from Warner Bros. is as follows:
An action fantasy set in the vivid imagination of a young girl whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality. Unrestrained by the boundaries of time and place, she is free to go where her mind takes her, and her incredible adventures blur the lines between what’s real and what is imaginary. She has been locked away against her will, but Babydoll (Emily Browning) has not lost her will to survive. Determined to fight for her freedom, she urges four other young girls — the outspoken Rocket (Jena Malone), the street-smart Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), the fiercely loyal Amber (Jamie Chung) and the reluctant Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish) — to band together and try to escape their terrible fate at the hands of their captors, Blue (Oscar Isaac), Madam Gorski (Carla Gugino) and the High Roller (Jon Hamm). Led by Babydoll, the girls engage in fantastical warfare against everything from samurais to serpents, with a virtual arsenal at their disposal. Together, they must decide what they are willing to sacrifice in order to stay alive. But with the help of a Wise Man (Scott Glenn), their unbelievable journey — if they succeed — will set them free.

The more I see the trailers and eye-candy, the more I want to see this movie. The number of genres that it blends together, I think is a big hook for me in addition to the amazing fight scenes. Zack really knows how to push the envelope!
