Why Zack Snyder thinks his action fantasy Sucker Punch will blow 300 away
Director Zack Snyder has shown his chops for action in 300 and Watchmen and even his Dawn of the Dead remake, but those were just movies with action in them, the director says: His new movie, Sucker Punch, will be something altogether new.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with SCI FI Wire, Snyder said that he plans to take movie action to a level we haven't seen before, well beyond 300 and The Matrix. "Damon [Caro is] my stunt choreographer and fight choreographer, and I like fight choreography," Snyder said in Wednesday in Burbank, Calif., where he was promoting Watchmen: The Director's Cut on Blu-ray. "I'm not a gimmick-based [filmmaker]. I'm not looking to do a big rubber CGI double jumping from building to building and [an] unkillable crazy hero. So I do like sort of hard effects. Give me a machine gun and some kind of cool fighting hand to hand, and let's get it on. To me it's about trying to use technology to kind of just seam up the impossible parts of it, but still stay as raw as you can."

Jamie Chung explains how Sucker Punch is a female 300
Jamie Chung, who co-stars with an ensemble of young action heroines in Zack Snyder's original movie Sucker Punch, told reporters that rehearsals have started to give her a sense of what the film will be.
"We just had a table read on Friday, and it really brought things to life," Chung said Sunday in a group interview in Beverly Hills, Calif., where she was promoting the horror film Sorority Row. "We're in the room with all the artwork up and it's just his vision. It's insane how the kindest person in the world can think of something so dark. I'm really excited to work with Zack Snyder. He is the happiest person in the world. It's crazy. He's always smiling. It's insane."
