Watchmen is still hours away from opening in theaters, but its visionary director (oh, how I’ll never tire of calling him that) has already lined up the cast for his next picture. “Amanda Seyfried in negotiations to topline the project, while Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, Evan Rachel Wood and Emma Stone are in talks to star in the action fantasy” Sucker Punch, per The Hollywood Reporter. “Set in the 1950s, Punch follows a girl 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. Snyder, who co-wrote the script with Steve Shibuya, has described the fantasy world as Alice in Wonderland with machine guns.” Oooh…visionary!
