Two More Up for Zack Snyder’s ‘Sucker Punch’

Jena Malone and Jamie Chung have signed on to star in Zack Snyder’s next film, ‘Sucker Punch.’Â   The two actresses join a cast that already has Emily Browning, Vanessa Hudgens, and Abbie Cornish.

‘Sucker Punch’ takes place in the 1950s and follows a young girl whose stepfather admits her into a mental institution.   With five days before she is to be lobotomized, the girl begins imagining an alternate universe where she is allowed to escape.

Malone and Chung replace Evan Rachel Wood and Abbie Cornish respectively, both of whom had to drop out of negotiations for the film due to scheduling conflicts.   Amanda Seyfried also had to drop out of negotiations on the film.

Snyder is directing and producing along with wife, Deborah.
