Snyder Throws a Sucker Punch

[TheWiseGuy487]

Well, erm. Uh...







That was ****ing awesome.

Your avatar goes perfectly with your post. :hehe:

[Spideyfan93]

Oh God...imagining Immigrant Song in a movie like this gives me chills.

[Crook]

wow! very gorgeous!!

im glad the whole trailer wasnt slow-mo like his previous films.. i think he's certainly growing as a filmmaker.

amazing trailer... definately on my radar now
Surely this is sarcasm? Half that entire trailer wasn't in real-time. :huh:

Anyhoo, anyone else feel like this may be the first film to successfully replicate anime-like action choreography in a live-action setting? Plenty of movies have tried it before, even the Matrix, but I don't think anyone has ever really gotten it right. Be it in looking real relative to its setting, or being as frenetic and beautifully composed.

Snyder really impressed me here.

Snyder has always composed beautiful shots. Making emotionally engaging characters has been his pitfall.

[Project862006]

^ i felt he did that in watchmen

but it had alot to do with the actors he chose

zack for being a very visual director really does cast based on talent

[Crook]

I'm specifically referencing anime action. It's hard to describe, and I can only say that live-action has yet to match their intensity and free-range of the camera. Or the choreography, for that matter.

[TheComicbookKid]

^ i felt he did that in watchmen

Imo, it had emotinally engaging moments, but to create a character you follow from beginning to end and care about whether they prevail. Handling a group of characters when he hasn't even mastered doing a solo one was a tall order.

Not saying the actors had nothing to do with it.

That was a damn good trailer.

[MessiahDecoy123]

The breif acting in it is pretty bad though. But it would be worth 10 bucks just for the visuals alone.

[Avengers-Report]

The Comic-Con footage was ridiculously amazing.

[Project862006]

barely got any and Malone /Cornish/and browning are not bad actors they looked fine and the only unproven actors chung and hudgens did not even speak

[Doctor Jones]

Whoa...

I don't know why... but that trailer was so awesome but in such a strange way. I don't know what else to say to that.

Wait I do now...

That was ****ing awesome. But I still don't know why!

[ALP]

Snyder is one of my favorites. The man is balls to the walls crazy, never know what to expect from him(besides slo-motion!)

Trailer looks terrific.

[S.A.A.D.]

The movie looks so damn awesome,the wait for the trailer was very much worth it. :woot:

[FaT_tONle]

Looks like the entire trailer sums up the movie, never a good thing... if I could pay half price for the ten minutes of money shots I know I'll get, I'd consider watching it.

[Figs]

Looks cool but of all the movies for Snyder to actually make PG-13 it had to be one with a number of beautiful women kicking ass. :(

[S.A.A.D.]

I know,I know,but we have no choice but to overcome it. I think this movie will be a cult hit.

[Angel_Faerie]

The trailer was epic, but doesn't convey the plot of the movie very well. If I didn't know the story, I'd be very confused while watching that.

[Figs]

I know,I know,but we have no choice but to overcome it. I think this movie

If I can get over Norton not being in the Avengers I can get over this not being rated R...maybe...:woot:

[PWN3R]

Balls to the wall. Unashamedly balls to the wall. This looks like a "winnah".

Snyder :up:

[DACrowe]

Looks weird and gimmicky. I'll give it a chance. The sex appeal obviously is its selling point. But it seems like Snyder is really struggling to find his singular voice after showing such visual dazzlement in his first several films.

[That-Guy]

I really dug the trailer. The visuals look amazing and so do the girls. The movie looks like a burlesque show in hell, which I totally dig. The little bits of dialogue sounded bad, but since dialogue you hear in a trailer NEVER actually makes it to the film these days, I'm not to worried.

Also, I love Emily Browning. She's one of the most talented young actresses out there. She even made a crappy movie like The Uninspired almost worth watching. Almost.

[S.A.A.D.]

If I can get over Norton not being in the Avengers I can get over this not being rated R...maybe...:woot:

I think there is hope for you,take it from someone who is honestly over Norton not reprising his role in The Avengers. :yay:

[dark_b]

OMG this was amazing.

[DarthSkywalker]

And it will probably be as weak as both 300 and Watchmen in the script and storytelling department.

[Hush]

Looks very visually stimulating.

[Octoberist]

Emily's pouty lips for the win

[spider-neil]

let's be honest here, snyder has always delievered on the visuals, it's his characters that are seriously lacking. the trailer is a visual feast but nothing is to say his flaw wont be exposed, again.

to be fair to snyder, I thought the characters in dawn of the dead were quite engaging. but that was a movie with little special effects, he had no choice BUT to concentrate on the characters, he has now been seduced by the dark side side and the more money he has to spend the worse he seems to be getting.

[jmc]

It'll be a case of wait and see for myself. I can't say I saw anything that was overly impressive in the trailer, don't now how to describe it but it's almost as if it's exactly what I was expecting I'd get as a teaser for this film, especially after seeing the recent character one sheets. I know the guy is good with the visuals and all but has always comes up well short with character and story, this is probably the film which tips me one way or the other for Sydner, until now I've been on the fence with him because he's mostly done adapted material, to me this is the moment he shows whether he's got what it takes or whether he's just a better version of Michael Bay (although I'd still watch his stuff over Bay's any day).

[CGHulk]

It's insane how much money movie studios are spending on films these days, did you see all that? :wow:

[Project862006]

how has he come up short with character and story i dont understand this

300 was a faithful adaptation he developed the story and character like the book did

and i dont see how the story and characters in watchmen were not developed

[dark_b]

what was watchmen? it was based on a graphic novel. he had everything. he did almost nothing unique for the movie. the slo mo shots got boring after the first minutes.

he is a guy who likes to have money shots every 5 minute. he gets the budget. end of story.

i expect nothing from the story.

[jmc]

Then he's is only ever going to be a hollow director and supporters shouldn't be surprised if he become the next punching bag. The dude's got potential, it's just a damn shame he hasn't reached it.

[dark_b]

where do you see potential?from what i see he is only about style and nothing else.

nt. IMO the directing style for watchmen was way to cool. it looked to cool.

i saw no unique directing shots from him. they are all cool but IMO not unique. and he never made a serious movie so i dont know how he is with directing actors.

some acting in watchmen was a joke. so out of place.

IMO

[Nivek]

It's a shame that people feel the need to hammer negativity like there is a damn quota that needs to be filled...

[dark_b]

well we have you Nivek. and you remind us everytime ;)

[jmc]

He just needs to work on getting some more substance into his films, they're kind of a one note wonder at the moment. That maybe due to the films being adaptations and him sticking to close to the source, I don't know, Sucker Punch is the test for me, has he grown as a film maker, or is he just going to fall into old habits. We'll find out I guess. That said, hot chicks kicking arse, I'm there either way. ;)

[dark_b]

does he really need to have more substance?

because IMO directors who have more substance dont do movies like Sucker Punch. and i f.... love how this movie looks. i am happy that Snyder did this.

[jmc]

Which is why I'd rate him higher if he could be one of those directors that can bring a bit more yet still do movies like Sucker Punch. If he's fine being just a visuals type of guy then more power to him, it'd be a bit of a wasted talent though IMO.

[Ipodman]

I'm waiting for the next " THIS IS SPARTA!!!"

[MOVIELORD101]

does he really need to have more substance?

Have we all forgotten that this is the same director who made zombies AWESOME again with his Dawn of the Dead remake? That movie PROVES he's a good director with plenty of substance! Either way, Sucker Punch looks awesome and I'll DEFINITELY BE THERE when it comes out in March!

[Monsieur Xavier]

Inception trailer was also all visual no substance but I guess if it was Nolan and not Synder who made this movie it would have been different.

[spider-neil]

It's a shame that people feel the need to hammer negativity like there is a damn quota that needs to be filled...

I can't talk for anyone else but I certainly thought the trailer looked amazing, but then I thought watchmen trailer looked amazing and indeed the watchmen movie LOOKED but from a story, plot and pacing point of view it was all over the frigging place.

[spider-neil]

Have we all forgotten that this is the same director who made zombies AWESOME again with his Dawn of the Dead remake? That movie PROVES he's a good director with plenty of substance!

you're only as good as your last movie. for instance spielberg and jackson have lost the plot (pun intended).

[KenK]

Inception trailer was also all visual no substance but I guess if it was Nolan and not Synder who made this movie it would have been different.

And I was going to bring up Inception! I remember that first (and maybe even second) teaser, thinking to myself, "What the hell is this movie about!" I still didn't have a clue until maybe three months before the film came out!

At least with this, I can see audiences getting some idea of what's going on. This girl is plotting to escape some form of captivity. It's simple, but it's definitely enough to engage the audience, especially when coupled with the visuals.

[dark_b]

Inception trailer was all visuals?

what ? the huge city? 3 shots of a gun sequence?

pleaseeeeeeeeeeee

[Monsieur Xavier]

^
Of course it was or at least as much as Sucker Punch trailer.

Anyway you perfectly illustrated my point of view with your reply :)
Some people are biased in their judgement or overly critical for a simple trailer.

[MOVIELORD101]

Bulls**t. Spielberg did a great job with Indy IV IMO, and I liked Jackson's version of King Kong. Oh and Snyder's director's cut of Watchmen was excellent.

Seriously guys, stop being such hard-asses towards Snyder. He's a good enough director to not screw this up. He's no Christopher Nolan, but he's proven himself to be good with action and telling a decent story!

[MOVIELORD101]

That's EXACTLY my point!

[ALP]

"Directors with substance don't make movies like this"...what kind of stupid comment is that? Because directors with substance can only make realistic crime thrillers and biopics right?

We don't have a lot to go off of but Snyder has proven he is a capable director. He developed the characters in 300 the best he could, which was more than in Miller's graphic novel. And Watchmen was beautiful and poetic. Want to talk badly about 300 and Dawn of the Dead sure, but I'll never understand the problems people have with Watchmen. I thought the movie was incredible, if not just as good as the book. Snyder translated Moore's characters near perfectly(just as they were in the book, nigh a nip and a tuck here or there). Watchmen is my favorite comic book film, yes, I like it more than The Dark Knight.

But who do you guys consider a competent stylized filmmaker? Every filmmaker in Hollywood who has a visually unique style gets the same complaints. "They care about style over story." Zack Snyder, Tim Burton, Terry Gilliam, Wes Anderson...basically you all just want everyone to make movies like Nolan and Scorsese right:whatever:

[Crook]

Inception trailer was also all visual no substance but I guess if it was Nolan and not Synder who made this movie it would have been different.
It's a very good point. I remember when the District 9 theatrical trailer came out, someone re-edited it so at the end it would show Michael Bay as the director, instead of Neil.

The result was that everyone panned the movie saying it was going to be balls. They then went on to complain about lack of originality, fast editing, bland visuals, etc.

It's hilarious how people project certain emotions just from seeing one name. :funny:

Yeah, the hatred towards guys like Michael Bay and ESPECIALLY George Lucas (one of my all-time FAVORITE directors, btw) is overrated. Seriously.

[Nivek]

This whole "fanbagging" (the opposite of being an eager "fanboy", someone who trashes a concept and belittles the fans as being stupid) thing is getting ridiculous. I mean, if I'm not interested in a film or think something looks like crap, 9 times out of 10 I don't even comment on it. If you don't like what Snyder (or any creator for that matter) does, all the power to you. But reading nagging page after page after page... move the **** on.

[Cinemaman]

IMO, I'd say Snyder is a mediocre director at best. His Dawn of the Dead was the best film I have seen from him since the start of his career (w/out taking into account numerous commercial ads, which were well-done). The trailer for his new film didn't impress me at all. CGI looks pretty bad and I doubt I found the story to be engaging. I also don't understand why he always uses blue screen and vfx in every single shot. Today it seems very cheap to me. Natural sets are still irreplaceable, even with a really mind-blowing technology.

[dark_b]

its stylized. dont expect the CGI to look real.

its meant to look like it is IMO.

[Cagefighterkip]

do we have download links yet(for quicktime)? if so would it be much trouble to ask for some please? thanks :) <3

[Lord Blackbolt]

trailer looks awesome IMO. I can't wait.

[ALP]

This film will definitely be interesting in concerns to Zack Snyder as a filmmaker and writer. Before he has had help on all of his films- one remake and two very close adaptations. This is the first film where we get to see 100% Snyder...what he has in his own bag.

[Project862006]

if Snyder is only as good as his last then he is at a great spot since watchmen was my favorite movie of 2009 he developed the characters very well other than ozy imo and he was'nt very developed in the book that much either

Snyder's film have alot of substance imo people just see his stylized style and just rag on him.You can only have substance if it is a realistic crime thriller style of film making apprently.

See, this is what I get out of it. DOTD was pretty much a remake, 300 and watchmen and that Owl movie are Adoptions, this is all him. Personally, I'm pretty impressed by the guy, and I'm curious what he will give us.

[Electrofarce]

looked real to me. it really does look real enough. only crazy fanboys complain about cgi and stuff. the general public has no complaints.

[dark_b]

it doesnt look real because its stylized. and its not meant to look real. i like it.

[Project862006]

it does'nt look real but it does'nt look fake either if that makes sense

[spider-neil]

bulls**t. Spielberg did a great job with indy iv imo,

yikes!!

[Electrofarce]

it doesnt look real because its stylized. and its not meant to look real. i like it.

IMO "real" in vfx talk means that something is well rendered, detailed, and well-lit to fit the enviroment that is presented around it.

everything in this trailer fits that description so stylized or not i think it looks real.

[Project862006]

^ and to think they got like 8 more months of post production to make it even better

[Electrofarce]

no wonder. the trailer does'nt look unfinished it looks like all th fx shots are complete

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Well, I have loved all of Synder's movies so far, with Watchmen being his best so far and an excellent movie and adaptation IMO.

But Sucker Punch looks like it may top them all, what is wrong with some people? This looks astonishing!

[dark_b]

you have to respect Snyder for making an action fantasy movie where all the main characters are young girls.

His films dont have the best characters or development...they are just there to move the story along (with great visuals)... every one of his films has ended in a tragedy, so i could see why some would think theres something more than just visuals, but its really just sending the characters to their doom for a taste of emotional impact.

[Project862006]

yeah but they are not devoid of it either i never watched his films and think this has no soul or heart or man these characters are 1 dimensional

[Doctor Jones]

I always liked Snyder. Watchmen's Mars sequence was excellent. Also when Rorscach takes off his mask and shouts, "Do it." The Comedian's funeral was very well done, Patrick Wilson as Dan was more likeable in the movie too. Plus the opening scene.

[Octoberist]

I think Zach is probably one of the best visualists in mainstream Hollywood

[Punisher_MAX]

[Crook]

Composition and eye-candy. There's really no one like him in mainstream.

[War Party]

I'm really digging with what I saw in that trailer. This is just a visual treat and sometimes that's just what I want to see. Can't ask for more than seeing sexy ladies kicking ass in a visually rich world. Like I said, sometimes that's just enough with a movie like this. Not all movies have to be like a Paul Thomas Anderson movie. Snyder has his style and he's very damn good at it.

[Eklypze]

WOW!! WTF WAS THAT?!?! Seriously?!?! That trailer looked ****ing EPIC! But confusing as hell at the same time. Which is a great combo in my eyes. I'm officially and thoroughly excited for this now

exactly, say what you want about his stories but visually? my god there is no one like him. Even in Dawn of the Dead the visually, camera work was amazing.

[Happy Jack]

This looks like a Zach Snyder movie, as in all style and no substance. But then again conceptually it thankfully is closer to the all-action 300 than the character story heavy Watchmen, which he was not suited for in any way.

[Majik1387]

Ugh god, more Snyder "substance" *****ing. It's a teaser trailer. If you weren't able to get the basic plot from it, you guys seriously have to jump off your high horse.

This is going to be a spectacular spectacle.

I know what the basic plot is, and the trailer shows what the look and gist of it is. Going by your logic, calling it a spectacular spectacle after only seeing the teaser is just as baseless. :cwink:

[Majik1387]

Action movies and musicals are often called spectacles. This movie has both, the trailer itself looked spectacular considering the story. Name one good live-action movie where it's managed to combine action, musical numbers, sci-fi mechas, fantasy settings complete with a fire breathing dragon into a 1950's period piece.

To not consider any of those spectacles is denial.:o

[Happy Jack]

Spectacle it may be, but spectacular is in the eye of the beholder.

[DACrowe]

I actually like Zack Snyder. I think he has an original style that is unique in Hollywood and makes visually addictive movies, every time.

However, I think his best film to date was the Dawn of the Dead remake. Because beyond the concept (Zombieocalypse and survivors trapped with zombies in mall), the screenplay by James Gunn was its own original thing and married with Snyder's style beautifully--creating a very fun and surprisingly fresh horror movie in a tired genre.

Watchmen is a very flawed film. He lives in the visuals, but that doesn't mean he can't do a film with substantive characters. I thought the characters in DOTD were endearing (or intentionally repulsive) and compelling. In Watchmen he understood how to develop them and create a nhilistic atmosphere to suffocate them in with more mid-20th century (boomers) pop culture references than you could shake a stick at.

But it just was, "too much." He could not get a handle o nt the enormous, confusing and ultimately, somewhat muddled narrative from the book as envisioned by Alan Moore. While it is easy to get away with on the page, on screen the flaws come out and at the end of the day, it is structured like a multilayered piece of literature (though some would argue whether it merits being considered true literature). Snyder either couldn't figure out how to condense this sea of information into a cohesive film or didn't want to for fear of the fans (and given how much they overreacted over a ****ing octopus, maybe he was right).

But Watchmen's best things beyond Haley's performance, as well as Crudup's, were Snyder's artistic flourishes. Like the entire opening credits montage that marries superheroes with American history from the 1930s to 1980s via Bob Dylan. His use of Nat King Cole's "Unforgettable" during a completely inserted and brilliant death scene for the Comedian (also not in the book), how he visualized Dr. Manhattan's birth, the addition of Dan for Rorschach's death, etc.

His style can be suffocating in a 3+ hour movie, but he did add things for the better...and he get rid of that stupid octopus...if only the cat-thing got ditched too.....




With all that said. This movie looks very meh to me. It looks like he is going where he needs to go to rebrandish his label or name with success in Hollywood. Watchmen was too dense for GA and was pretty much ignored the moment they realize a blue dick was in it. This movie looks big, dumb and most likely numbing. Just like his most successful film to date, 300. While I appreciate he is fetishizing girls now as opposed to barley-clothed men and that the near-fascist and racist undertones inherent in Millar's conceptualization of the story will be absent...I think it will be just like 300, ultimately (again without racism and homoerotica). By that I mean 20 minutes of awesome, followed by me being bored for the next 100 minutes.

But it will probably be his biggest hit or up there with 300, which his career needs. So, I understand.

[Doctor Jones]

I still stand by what Snyder did on Watchmen. No matter what the man did, he would be damned for it.

[Heretic]

Every now and then there should be a movie that is made just for teenage guys...this looks to be that movie. It has all the things that guys think are cool in a violent movie...and hot chicks in fetish wear (which is their favorite thing in anything).

It already appears to be a masterpiece for what it sets out to be.

[Figs]

I still stand by what Snyder did on Watchmen. No matter what the man did, he would be damned for it.

I honestly believe he did better than most others could have done...especially reading and hearing about previous scripts.

i dont think anyone could of done it better every script past to present never had it in the 1980's till snyder made sure of it

[DarthSkywalker]

I still stand by what Snyder did on Watchmen. No matter what the man did, he would be damned for it.

The film is devoid of the characters and their motivates. People talk of a faithful adaptation. You can argue whether it looked right, but you can't say that he got the story Watchmen, its characters, or its feel.

Visual styling is one thing. If it is all hallow though, what is the point.

^ many disagree i stand by my claim i prefer it to TDK

The Joker's speech to Harvey has more character and purpose then Snyder's 300 and Watchmen combined.

[Project862006]

opinions i thought Watchmen had a lot of character development and emotion

and top notch performances

[TheComicbookKid]

Well, considering what Snyder is symbolically linking Baby Doll's lobotomy to, I hope he has his understanding of character/narrative development down.

[DarthSkywalker]

No opinion about it. If something isn't there, it isn't there.

Plenty of creative types think they know how to do symbolism. Doesn't mean they are good with it. The elegance of a Cauron or Nolan is replaced by the rusty steak knife approach.

[Project862006]

yes opinion since i dont agree with you what so ever

There is opinion about it because me and many others think he got the characters in Watchmen pretty spot on, and there was plenty of substance and emotion in the movie as well, despite what you try and claim as fact when it clearly isnt.

[Kane52630]

I honestly believe he did better than most others could have done...especially reading and hearing about previous scripts.

exactly. I wouldnt change a thing about the directing position, Zach was the man to bring in the look of Watchmen, even though there was a lack of a great screenplay.

See if Watchmen was a HBO mini series directed by Zach Snyder, that would be something to look at.

What Snyder gave us...was probably the best Watchmen movie we all coulda hoped for without going over 3 1/2 hours...

...and an HBO mini-series would have been amazing...

[Monsieur Xavier]

Every now and then there should be a movie that is made just for teenage guys...this looks to be that movie. It has all the things that guys think are cool in a violent movie...and hot chicks in fetish wear (which is their favorite thing in anything).

It already appears to be a masterpiece for what it sets out to be.

Lol, stigmatizing much on your high horse ? :)

Don't get me wrong, I fully agree on the hot chicks in fetish outfit,I would have said retro-military-steampunk but fetish is shorter, also it is not a teenager prerogative to like hot chicsk in fetish outfit.

[Excelsior.]

Every ounce of depth in Watchmen came from the comicbook. This movie will be as empty as 300.


I think Zach is probably one of the best visualists in mainstream Hollywood

Oversaturating the colour palette and copious amounts of Slow-mo =/= a good visualist.

[JTStarkiller]

No opinion about it. If something isn't there, it isn't there.

Comments like this are why no one will ever take you seriously.

[DocHoliday]

I am seriously pumped about the prospect of an original Zach Snyder work.

and all the depth from 300 was in the comic buddy that i frank miller for you

and if thats all you think Zack's visual style is then you are sadly mistaken

[PowersOfMind]

After seeing what Snyder did with Watchmen I can't wait to see what he does with Sucker Punch. I though Watchmen was one of the most engaging and visually stunning films I've seen in a long time. Considering the source material and how vast it is, Watchmen was great to me. The director's cut is even better.

Mortal Kombat wishes it got that movie treatment.

[Project862006]

exactly i think people are too into these realistic drama based films lately with realistic hand to hand fights like your dark knight & jason bourne, i go to movies to escape reality.This is my fix this is one of few movies that makes me think you have to see this in theaters for the spectacle alone.

i love me some fantasy films

[dark_b]

i like both kind of movies.

I think there is room for both, I hate it when a fad takes over, like after Matrix everyone was doing slow mo bullet stuff and wire-fu, then after the Bourne movies it was all high speed hand to hand and shaky cam, directors need to use their own imaginations.

[Project862006]

i agree with you both i love both but sometimes people get too comfortable with 1 type directors and audiences alike

[S.A.A.D.]

N/a

[DarthSkywalker]

There is opinion about it because me and many others think he got the characters in Watchmen pretty spot on, and there was plenty of substance and emotion in the movie as well, despite what you try and claim as fact when it clearly isnt.

Give me an example. Even my favorite part of the film (The Mars scenes) hinge on knowledge you have going into the film. The character scenes lead nowhere and were disconnected. There is no indication of how these characters were molded into what they are, even though those scenes are suppose to be there. All you have are images from the comic, not their meaning. The big moments are begging for an emotional reaction from nowhere.

Watch the All Along the Watchtower scene. There is no quiet understanding between the character. All about recollection to the graphic novel. That is where the emotion of the scene is derived from, not the film itself. Which is why I think so many like it. They are filling in the gaps using their knowledge from the graphic novel.

Comments like this are why no one will ever take you seriously.

Because I seek your approval. :cwink:

[Paroxysm]

Wow, that trailer was sick. This movie looks crazzzzzy!

[Leenie]

Hm. The teaser was ... Interesting.

[Electrofarce]

opinions i thought Watchmen had a lot of character development and emotion

and top notch performances

Watchmen was superb and tied w/ TDK as best superhero movie IMO.

Great Interview With Zack and Deborah Snyder

Source:Cinematical

Cinematical: As awesome as the footage that you screened at Comic-Con looks, the real success of a movie like this is based on how effectively all of the spectacle works towards examining something larger. How did you make sure as you conceived each set piece that the overall story was going to have a deeper emotional or conceptual resonance?

Zack Snyder: A hundred percent! We basically had a second story already done and really what happened is all of the action sequences just end up servicing the other story. You have this dramatic story with these girls that is pretty compelling and pretty intense and pretty present – it doesn't rely on anything – but in their personal struggles they do need something. So we use those fantasy sequences to get those needs met, and the thing that's interesting about it is that it's such an intimate thing and such a small thing that they actually need that when you blow it out to this amazingly, ridiculously gigantic sequence, it has some kind of [larger significance]. Again, it's interesting and ironic to me, personally, that something so simple and so small in their own lives when you think about it because when you do fantasize about something, it can be [the case] that the scale is not an issue. So that's kind of how we treated it; it always in the end came back to the girls and where they were and what they needed.

Cinematical: Because these girls are in so many different outfits and have so many different personas, and you created them yourself, how careful did you have to be or how did you empower the actresses to make sure that the characters were themselves empowered and not just a sort of male fantasy figure?

Zack Snyder: Once the script was written, that was never really going to be a danger, because the girls, the characters were so important to me that I never wanted to belittle them or make them anything more than [people].


Deborah Snyder: And what's great about them and what's great about the action role that they're taking is that they can be badass and they can be fierce, but they also can cry and they can be sexy and beautiful and feminine – not necessarily masculine. That they are so dimensional, I think, is really important, and it was there and then the girls just brought even more to it as well.


Zack Snyder: We never shot it like an exploitation film; there's nothing about the film that – someone asked me before they'd seen any of the footage, "is this kind of like an exploitation movie? Is that like what this is? Because there are these sort of fetishistic-looking girls." And I was like, no, it's heart-attack serious. And they were like, "well, how do you do that?" and I said, I don't know, you just do it. But the truth is that in ways they're icon-busting or cliché-cracking rather than sort of embodying [them]. It's not like a Halloween costume where they dressed up like a schoolgirl, you know.

Cinematical: Something I wanted to ask you after Watchmen, which I thought was a pretty amazing achievement, was how conscious are you not of the tone, but the sort of levels on which something is meant to operate. For example, the thing about Watchmen is that it operates on this supremely sophisticated ironic level, providing the superficial gratification of a superhero movie even though it isn't about that at all. When you are conceiving these ideas, as you discussed with the fetishistic but empowering design of the women in Sucker Punch, do you tend to be very careful about building that into the design of the film, or is that something that sort of just comes out subconsciously through your creative process?

Zack Snyder: I think it's a combination of the two things because a movie is an ironic experience for me, because I know it's not real, and that never goes away for me. I was saying the other day that Toy Story 3 (http://www.moviefone.com/movie/toy-story-3/22984/main?icid=movsmartsearch) is a perfect movie to me because it never tries to make you think it's real – it's a cartoon – and yet you cry at the end and it's ridiculous because you have this experience of being completely tricked by your own brain that these characters are real, that they are alive and you care about what happens to them. In Watchmen, that was almost the main thing that I was going for – that tone of sort of irony on almost every level, whether it be history or it be our perception or superheroes, which is what I felt like Alan was doing anyway, but it was what I wanted to do with the movie. And I think Sucker Punch has a very similar point of view without being as much of a worldview; it's more about sort of the icons of sexuality and feminism and all of those things. It really sort of goes after those things more than it goes after, like I would in the past, some historical [portrait] of why we are who we are. This is more about why certain icons of sexuality persist, but I think also I love action and I love doing it, so I have this weird relationship with movies in that way. Like I'm always making fun of movies, but I love them more than anything.

Cinematical: Warner Brothers has such a unique ongoing collaboration with filmmakers. Obviously Kubrick (http://www.moviefone.com/celebrity/stanley-kubrick/1222483/main?icid=movsmartsearch) was the gold standard back in the day, but you and Christopher Nolan have enjoyed a longtime partnership with them. What is it about that relationship that makes you want to continue to work with them as opposed to maybe shopping your projects around elsewhere?

Zack Snyder: Well, I think just the movie itself, Sucker Punch itself, the fact that it got made in the same –

Deborah Snyder: They greenlit Nolan's movie at the same time – two original ideas that were not like, oh, this is formulaic. They were bold ideas and for them to be like yes, this is what we want to do and we want to support our filmmakers, and we will take chances and strive to do something that's different, no other studio is doing that.

Zack Snyder: And hopefully by the same token, we try and make a movie that audiences would hopefully find different. If they're tired of the same old summer fare, there's something else. People can go, I'm going to sit down, the lights are going to go down, and that's going to be something else, and I think Warner Brothers respects that and they seem to have really been amazingly generous with us.

Deborah Snyder: Even with Watchmen – and even with 300. They had just done Troy (http://www.moviefone.com/movie/troy/15727/main?icid=movsmartsearch) and they were like, another sword and sandal movie?

Zack Snyder: They had done Alexander (http://www.moviefone.com/movie/alexander/16409/main?icid=movsmartsearch) too.

Deborah Snyder: They were like, we don't really need this. It's like sword and sandals fatigue and we were like, this is going to be something different. I don't think they really understood what it was until we started shooting.

Zack Snyder: And even then, it was all greenscreen. They were like, "what is this?" But they were like, okay, we trust that you know what you're doing and it's going to be cool.

Deborah Snyder: And that blind faith sometimes, you know, it's faith in the person, and it's a two-way street of mutual respect.

Zack Snyder: But we want to make them a great movie; I want them to make money. But it's just if they can use our points of view and our movie and sort of the way we do it and then the images that we create, if they can figure out a way that that works in the marketplace, then that's awesome and everyone wins.

[NorsePrincess]

Look like the type of movie that'd appeal to 13 year olds, his core audience generally. "HOT CHIX, GUNS, SLOW MOTION ACTION, SAMURAIZ AN DRAGONZ!!!" It's like a bad novel you'd write when you're in your tweens.
Still, I'll give it a benefit of the doubt and watch it when it comes out.

[Project862006]

anyone know how long this film is gonna be because i just did some research and Sucker Punch Started Filming in September of 2009 and wrapped in Feb. of 2010

that is 6 months of filming do films usually film that long

feels as long as he filmed Watchmen lol

[I SEE SPIDEY]

It looks like fun to me.

[Project862006]

Sucker Punch has some serious buzz

Keep in mind Sucker Punch was below the radar up until that trailer. All those other movies that went down, have had their fair share of exposure for the past year. It only stands to reason that its interest rate skyrockets, especially since the footage whooped any other film at the Con.

[Crockett]

anyways awesome Art based on the characters

The colors were too subdued to be Sailor Moon. I thought this film was follow up to "The Uninvited" remake.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

That interview posted above sounds great, I really like Snyder and his movies have got progressivly better IMO with WM being his best, but I really like the look of Sucker Punch, and hope its as good as it looks.

[Kane52630]

I was thinking more of DOA meets Mortal Kombat meets Sailor Moon but yeah its looks like it

The film itself may be good for all anyone knows, but the film trailer was idiotic. No one is going to watch this. I can't believe it has an 85 million budget.

[dark_b]

noone is going to watch this?

this movie is a wet dream for every fanboy and evey CGI artist .

[Project862006]

Sucker Punch garnered the most buzz coming out of Comic con yes more than GL yes more than Thor

everyone loves the trailer buddy

so you are wayyyyyyy off

should they have cut a dramatic trailer lol yes that will get the kids

[dark_b]

it could be that the buzz at comic con depends on the money shots.

sucker punch was a full trailer with full effects. GL showed nothing and thor had a trailer with only Asgard effects.

[Project862006]

[Kane52630]

March has been a great month for moderate and big budget new releases for a while.

yeah the unofficial start of the summer imo

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

yeah, Battle: LA comes out on March 11th and Sucker Punch comes out on March 25th

Awesome, hope this is the case here in the UK as well but more than likely one of them will come out about 2 months after, as is usual :csad:.

[Nivek]

yeah the unofficial start of the summer imo

I really wish studios just stopped crowding the box-office with all the big budget films at certain times of the year and started spreading them out. This past May was just stupid...

[Project862006]

March seems to be Snyder's Month

[Kane52630]

lol it is, Dawn of the Dead, 300, Watchmen, and now Sucker Punch.

[OptimusPrime114]

I just saw the trailer!

This is gonna be so cool!

[Northern Lights]

This looks absolutely amazing. Snyder gets a lot of flack... but the guy can paint a pretty picture, to say the least. Not every film has to be deep and thought provoking.

Sometimes, it's good to just sit back, relax, maybe partake in some illegal substances... and just have your mind blown.

I suppose. Something about the still looks weird, but then again when I freeze frame the trailer it doesn't look too good either. It's one of those things that needs to be in motion.

Would have been half excited if they throw in a bunch of cute hot guys or maybe stick to the original cast of Amanda Seyfried,Emma Stone....

but no, they have to cast that annoying nude photo scandal Vanessa Hudgens.....

anyways, the premise sounds cheesy and stupid, just a poor excuse to see girls in scantily clad outfits,

The whole trailer looks like an extended music video.

hopefully this bombs and flop like Catwoman , Elektra, Scott Pilgrim vs the World

Just stick to the Twilight series.

im sure they will be doing the same 3 trailer strategy they have been using for several years now, 1. teaser (almost a year before it comes out) 2. trailer #1 (midway before the movie comes out) 3. Trailer #3 (last 2 months before it comes out)

[dark_b]

the new trailer will be out. ts on comingsoon.

[TheComicbookKid]

Nice drawing with horrendous perspective work.

Can't wait for this trailer.

[Doctor Jones]

Perspective? All I could think was how badass that looks.

[GoblinWhirlwind]

I was turning through the channels last night, and on Spike I caught the last couple seconds of something for Suckerpunch... something fired a missile at Babydoll and she ducked under it, and it exploded behind her, silhouetting her in flames.

Maybe it was a preview of the trailer, or a tv spot. I don't get why there'd be any so soon though. I only caught that one shot, so I dunno. Awesome new picture too... damn this movie will be badass.

[Hush]

I just heard Jon Hamm will be in this, if so, ticket bought.

[GoblinWhirlwind]

He is, playing someone named High Roller.

[Hush]

Well sweet, I loved the trailer for this and I support Snyders films because I like him. So yeah consider me being on the Sucker Punch bandwagon.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

[S.A.A.D.]

I liked the trailer alot,but the music,it's not bad. The choices for it doesn't make it strong enough,by just a bit.

[Majik1387]

Looks amazing!:up:

[Sawyer]

Looked like a cluster**** of nerdgasms.

And I like it. :up:

Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch Trailer


HOjrow6QmAw

[Doctor Jones]

Goddamn.

:awesome:

[Eddie Dean]

Zeppelin!

[Speedball]

This movie looks like my imagination, but in physical form. I'm definitely going to see this movie.

[Asgard]

Anyone know where I can buy a cheap pair of parachute pants?

[Spideyfan93]

YOU WILL BE UNPREPARED

This might as well be an extreme understatement.

[Figs]

He may not make the deepest films(then again he's mainly done adaptations)but god damn does he have an eye for great visuals.

[rashad]

Kick ass trailer! I can only imagine how beautiful Superman will look! Amazing.

[redhawk23]

Zeppelin!


And Silversun Pickups!

Its as if the marketing team went hey, how can we apeal exactly to that one guy in St. Louis....as if this movie isnt like every thing he ever drew in math class anyways. Oh yeah maybe we'll just market this with his two favorite bands!:awesome:

[Mace Bloodstone]

This is all in her head?

[Lone]

I can honestly say, without the slightest tinge of shame, that this is the first movie that I literally want to have sex with.:hrt::dry:

[dark_b]

its nice that Snyder is uing CGI and all the effects possible to make an entertaining fantasy movie with an unique vision. a lot of anime shots in this movie. bravo Snyder.

this is 100% eye candy ,money shots and entertainment. if you watched the movie and you knew what it was about you have no right to complain. they are not tricking anyonre in the theater thinking that this is some deep movie.

for Sucker Punch and 300 i like Snyder. but i am very sad that the slow motion gallore will be used in superman.

[LegendaryCaleb]

wow he taped the cemetary scene exactly the same way as the watchmen scene...kinda weird but the movie looks interesting...not my taste but im curious

[nightwing06]

I love this trailer but it also has me hyped on what Snyder will do with Superman

[dark_b]

wow he taped the cemetary scene exactly the same way as the watchmen scene...kinda weird but the movie looks interesting...not my taste but im curiouslets hope its only one angle and the lighting :woot:

[Eggyman]

Wow. It's like Snyder is one of us. If Bay were good, he'd be called Snyder.

[dark_b]

if Bay were good? you mean if he used less comedy and less flags? because i dont see a difference in quality between SNyder and Bay.

[spider-neil]

WOW!!!

awesome trailer.

let's hope synder's plot and pacing matches his visuals this time because this is an area of his he is seriously lacking.

roll on superman :yay:

[redhawk23]

if Bay were good? you mean if he used less comedy and less flags? because i dont see a difference in quality between SNyder and Bay.


I see where you're coming from and very much agree. I don't so much think its a quality difference really rather so much as Snyder has a bit more style, and also that hes really just a geek with millions of dollars worht of budget at his command. lol.

In other words both Snyder and Bay seem to think to themselves, "What would be really cool at this moment?" and then film it, the difference is Snyder is just more in line with what people here think of is cool.

Also Mila Ackerman sucked in Watchmen, but Meagan Fox makes her look like Merryl Streep.

[Eggyman]

if Bay were good? you mean if he used less comedy and less flags? because i dont see a difference in quality between SNyder and Bay.

That's fair enough. Of course, we can have a difference of opinion.

[JAK®]

Bay could never make Watchmen.

[dark_b]

can someone make me a gif from the shot where the girl lands ?
