Zack Synder is really making a name for himself when it comes to stylized, slow-motion action sequences. From the testosterone-filled gore of 300 to the animated owls of Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole, he's fast becoming one of the most creative directors in Hollywood today. Next on the list is the strange looking (even by his standards) Sucker Punch, which features a story he describes as:
"set in the 1950s, it tells the story of Baby Doll (Browning), who is trying to hide from the pain caused by her evil stepfather and lobotomy. She ends up in mental institution in Brattleboro, Vermont and while there she starts to imagine alternative reality. She plans to escape from that imaginary world but to do that she needs to steal five objects before she is caught by a vile man. She has 5 days to escape before being lobotomized. In order to cope with the situation, she enters the hyper-real world of her imagination, and the lines between reality and dream begin to blur."
It's gonna be a long wait until March 25th 2011, cuz that's when Sucker Punch punches into theaters everywhere. Enjoy the first trailer, and head on over to Apple for the HD version right HERE!
