Cop an eyeful of this SUCKER PUNCH banner

Jul 30

Here’s something I’d expect to see hanging in a video games store– a new banner for Zack Snyder‘s upcoming action revenge flick Sucker Punch. I didn’t know what to expect when the first trailer finally arrived earlier this week, but I guess I should have expected something loaded with lavish CGI from the director of 300 and Watchmen.

There’s absolutely no doubt Sucker Punch is aimed at the same demographic that religiously buy video games, which might not be a bad move… It’s just, as a film, beyond the sexy ladies, big guns and alien enemies, I’m still not entirely sure what the fuck it’s about. Perhaps a synopsis will help?

Sucker Punch is released 25 March 2011 in the States.

This banner closely resembles the character banners which were also released last week. Click the image below to enlarge it.

Sucker Punch synopsis

Set in the 1950s, Sucker Punch follows Babydoll (Emily Browning) who is confined to a mental institution by her stepfather, who intends to have her lobotomized in five days. While there, she imagines an alternative reality to hide her from the pain, and in that world, she begins planning her escape, needing to steal five objects to help get her out before she is deflowered by a vile man.
