sucker punch this.

firstshowing.net says: As we mentioned yesterday in the Green Lantern costume reveal, there are going to be a lot of big first look reveals this weekend and all next week for Comic-Con. Another new first look has arrived, again found in the pages of the latest Entertainment Weekly, this time for Zack Snyder's new action-heavy movie Sucker Punch. Meet some badass chics (from L to R): Abbie Cornish as Sweetpea; Jena Malone as Rocket; Emily Browning as Baby Doll, our hero; Scott Glenn (in background); Vanessa Hudgens as Blondie; plus Jamie Chung as Amber. And ohh yes, all of these girls kick some serious ass in the movie.

Sucker Punch is Zack Snyder's first movie not based on previous material, but an original idea that he came up with and turned into a screenplay with co-writer Steve Shibuya. The story follows a girl (Emily Browning - Baby Doll) who is institutionalized by her stepfather. Retreating to an imaginative "alternative reality" as a coping method, she envisions a strategy which will help her, and a group of other girls, escape the mental hospital they're stuck in. The EW article says to "expect fantasy dreamscapes filled with dragons, zombie soldiers, steampunk sci-fi and monolithic mecha." Whoa! "Anything I thought was cool got put in the movie," Snyder says. I think this looks pretty awesome so far, can't wait to see more from it at Comic-Con.

anything women empowering as well as ass-kicking is a must in my book!!
