Carla Gugino gets to work with Zack Snyder as he directs Sucker Punch, an action fantasy for Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures. You might be familiar with Gugino’s work in Snyder’s Watchmen where she portrays 1950s version of Silk Spectre.  

Gugino joins a fine cast of actors Emily Browning, Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung, Jena Malone, and Abbie Cornish. They all star in the 1950s-set tale of a girl (Browning) confined to a mental institution by her evil stepfather, who intends to have her lobotomized in five days. She and her friends enter an alternate reality where they begin planning an escape. Wow!

Gugino is playing Mrs. Schultz, an adult figure in the institution.

Snyder also wrote the script and is producing with his Cruel & Unusual Films partner, wife Deborah Snyder.

Sounds like the actors are getting serious for a pretty heroic adventure because they are currently in fight training. After the cast completes their fight training, shooting will begin this fall in Vancouver.
