Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch doesn’t hit theaters until March 25, 2011. But with every big summer movie throwing up its trailer in recent weeks, it’s practically fallen behind the marketing curve.
But pay no attention to the drunk known as Jack Sparrow. Sucker Punch comes out first, and they’ve got a featurette out to remind you. Hey, March 25 guys! That’s closer than Pirates or Thor or Cowboys and Aliens … damn, 2011 is going to be hard on the old wallet.
The story of Sucker Punch is still a little obtuse, though the cast does a far better job describing it here than they did at ComicCon. What’s kind a little curious is that it seems to undermine the last trailer (which strongly implied the fantasy world was real — which it obviously can’t be) by repeatedly stressing that all the craziness is merely a mental escape. Again, that seems obvious given the imagery. But the conceit of the movie is definitely a curious one. Asking me to care whether Baby Doll defeats a robot or a troll when I know it’s not real might be a little problematic. Still, I’m dying to know if they can pull whatever this is off.
At the very least, you can enjoy the really awkward moment when Scott Glenn punches the air. Or just enjoy looking the girls. Or Jon Hamm. Or the CGI. Whatever your heart desires is in this clip.

So sue me, but I liked Watchmen, dagnabbit. I value storyline, but I'm happy with a simple one as long as it's solid and consistent and well-paced. And I personally lean towards the visual, so to hell with all the Snyder haters. From what I can see, his work just keeps improving, and I have to respect a guy who plays to his strengths. (Verification attempts: 8+)
didn't seem awkward Elizabeth, maybe your just projecting.
Sucker Punch, Thor, Pirates, Cowboys and Aliens… holy crap! I'm going to save so much money this year!
These pictures make me want to masturbate furiously.
Shit, I'm surpised Scott Glenn was never a boxer from that clip. That guy can do whatever he fuckin' likes.
Elisabeth is large and in charge.I hope today's article blitz is a sign of things to come.She should at least get her own staff link on the main page.

#1. Don't use "Hater". It makes you sound like you can't form an argument (that, and it's a douchebag word). And yes, it's a very big problem if nothing on-screen has any dramatic or narrative weight to it. If the various robots and bad guys in the fantasy represent problems the characters are fighting in their real lives, then it should hold more dramatic weight. If the fantasy inspires the girls to take control of their real lives, then that works too.
Janie's got a soulless CGI gun.
I could've sworn I heard this described by Snyder as his twisted "Alice in Wonderland". Still though, as much as I love Scott Glenn chewing scenery and dialogue, The only person I could have believed in that part from the scenes I watched would be Ken Watanabe. And Carla Gugino acting as a Madam has fulfilled part of my fantasy, now if I could only find a 7 foot tall redhead chinese lady. I'm set.
I hate that stupid landing pose EVERYONE pulls when they jump from a great height…….What's wrong with tuck 'n' roll?
