With Watchmen bowing Friday, director Zack Snyder is already busy prepping his next endeavor, the 1960s-based action fantasy Sucker Punch, based on his own script. Snyder is still putting together his all-female cast, but sources say Amanda Seyfried is in negotiations to play the lead role of Baby Doll, a young woman who has been committed to an insane asylum and fantasizes about escaping with the help of her fellow inmates, who take on fantastical roles in her mind. Offers are out to a slew of young actresses to fill out those roles, including Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, Evan Rachel Wood, and Emma Stone. The $100 million budgeted film for Warner Bros. is scheduled to begin production in the Fall. Says Snyder, who is also producing the film with his wife Deborah Snyder, “I already did the all-male cast with 300, so I’m doing the opposite end of the spectrum.”

Just when I get excited that Amanda Seyfried is in negotiations for the lead in a movie, I hear offers are also out to Vanessa Hudgens and Evan Rachel Wood. Ugggghhh.
AMANDA MUST TAKE THIS ROLE.. THE STORY SEEMS AMAZING, but i dont want vanessa in itXD
Sounds Intriguing. I would love to see Vanessa Hudgens And Evan Rachel Wood in a film together again. I’m glad to see people are open minded and they see that Vanessa has a lot of hidden talent waiting to be explored.
sounds amazing! great casting choices!
Um…Vanessa Hudgens and evan Rachel Wood were in a film together it’s called thirteen.
Also, the girl’s have to sing…that’s why the casting of vocal actresses. Vanessa can’t act though, to save her life, so i hope her role is small!!!
I want vanessa hudgens to take her lead in the new movie sucker punch because i know that amanda can not take her lead role. I know that she is the best person who has the part and not amanda. Vanessa is really talent and a sweet heart to me.
I hope Vanessa gets this role! I really want to see her in something completely different from HSM.
I beilieve, given the opportunity, she would (and will) prove a lot of people wrong eventually
I am really excited about the fact that these roles are being offered to her… it’s wonderful
Sounds like the beginning of the downpath for zac. This film sounds lame. Like it exists simply as a reason to film special effects with sexy chicks. As cool as that sounds, it rarely works for big bucks at the box office.
Wow, good for Mamma Mia! instantly boosting Amanda’s career!
And hopefully Emma Stone gets in there too!
But an action fantasy budgeted at $100 million starring an all female cast? Hopefully it can find a female audience since this sounds too action male-skewed.
300 had the pleasure of having pure testerone for the guys, pure beefcake for the girlfriends, and an absolute shirtless orgy of guy abs for the gays, lol.
Plz Caroline spare us, Amanda is the better actress to lead. That being said, this film doesn’t exactly sound great and 100mil budget, they better do a lot of promotion to make a profit cause i doubt they will.
waah..
Its more interesting if VANESSA take the lead role..
I know that she can do it and this girl has a potential to lead this movie..
VANESSA and RACHEL again..
its really exciting..
I think its more great if you put them all..
AMANDA,VANESSA and RACHEL..
hihi..
I can’t get enough..
rawr
great choices for all the roles. im very happy to see vanessa hudgens in this movie, i would to to see what all she can do.
i ment i would (love) to see what all she can do. vanessa hudgens
love all these girl’s cant wait too see all of them in this next big movie. love vanessa hudgens and evan rachel wood hope they can work together.
