I know a lot of girls who enjoy action movies, but until now none have really stared anyone younger than in their 30's that they might actually be inspired by. I'm looking at the most obvious kick ass heroins Sarah Conner and Ripley (I know I love Cameron I can't help it). But coming up next year Zach Synder the visionary filmmaker who brought his unique style to 300 (which has resulted in many copycat directors ripping him off) as well as the under appreciated Watchmen will bring a bunch of up and coming young Hollywood actresses and put them in his new movie Suckerpunch. But this is not going to be a coming of age story, or a bunch of girls trying on a pair of traveling pants and recording their life stories about them. No, he is going to put these girls through their paces and make them bonofide action chicks. With kick ass moves, probably great tag lines and will be every bad guys worst nightmare. The story follows Baby Doll who has been put in a psych ward by her evil stepfather. As a way to escape the dread of the walls of the unit, she makes up her own reality. While doing this, she envisions an escape for her and the girls to be free in the real world where they belong. The movie will star the excellent Aussie actress Emily Browning (Lemony Snickets) Abbie Cornish (Sommersault bit of a theme with the Aussies Zach), Jena Malone (Stepmom), Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical) Carla Gugino (Sin City), and Don Drapper himself Mr Jon Hamm. I for one am excited about this film. It may be the movie to finally break all these actors into the mainstream where most of them belong. I for one am hoping this movie will pack a mighty PUNCH!!!
