Last week, Warner Bros. treated the interwebs to the first five minutes of their new movie, Sucker Punch which is directed by Zack Snyder (300 & Watchmen). The film features a cast which includes Emily Browning, Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone, Jamie Chung, Carla Gugino, Oscar Isaac and Vanessa Hudgens who you may know from High School Musical fame.
While most of us just watched this five minute video thinking ‘Man this looks good!!’, our friend Brendon Connelly who writes for BleedingCool.com took extra time to go through it and record a voice-over track to talk us through how it was shot, what the various imagery we see means and how the first five opening minutes link to and are referenced to the movie as it unfolds. Don’t worry though, no spoilers are given away here.
It may seem odd that we are bigging up another blog work but we know how hard Brendon works on this stuff and when someone spends that much time creating a piece like this, it deserves to be shared with as many people as possible so without further ado, here’s the video.
I’ve also placed the original five minute clip below incase you want to watch it without Brendon’s VO.
Sucker Punch is out in UK cinemas now and if you missed all our rather extensive coverage of the movie, you can check it out here.
