AceShowbiz - On Wednesday, June 24, Zack Snyder attended the press conference for the Blu-Ray release of "Watchmen" and had an interview with Devin Faraci of CHUD. He gave an update on his upcoming movie "Sucker Punch" and made a surprise by informing that he aims to get a PG-13 rating for the film.
Zack made a retreat from his initial statement which described "Sucker Punch" as R-rated. However, the director of "300" believes that he can manage to obtain a PG-13 rating for the movie without softening the action. "If you can make 'Taken' PG-13, you can make this movie PG-13. That's what I believe. Because it's more fantastic. No one really dies in the movie," he insisted.
Zack further explained about the movie itself, saying "I think 'Sucker Punch' is a smart movie. It absolutely is challenging, and it's f***ing hardcore. [A]t the end she gets ... it's dark! But it's f***ing actiony like nobody's business. We hope the action we're creating is off the charts, and it's not stupid."
To be released in the U.S. March 25, 2011, "Sucker Punch" centers on a young girl, portrayed by Emily Browning, who is locked in an insane asylum by her abusive stepfather. In order to survive in the new place, she retreats into a fantasy world where she comes up with an escape plan. As said by Zack Snyder, the action movie will contain extraordinary imagination with involvement of fantasy creatures or WWI soldiers, but is still rooted in reality.
