Emily Browning Cast in Zack Snyder's SUCKER PUNCH

Emily Browning was cast in Zack Snyder's SUCKER PUNCH, after Amanda Seyfried had to drop out.

Emily Browning's character will be a asylum inmate who is committed to an asylum by her stepfather. There she fantasizes about escaping with the help of other inmates, who are also part of her fantasy.

Even though Emily Browning has been in a few movies like The Uninvited, I still to this day remember her as Violet in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. It will be interesting to see her is something so different.

Zac Efron Out of FOOTLOOSE & Amanda Seyfried Out of SUCKER PUNCH

Amongst all the casting news, there had to be some "uncasting" news to come along eventually. And so according to HitFix (via FirstShowing.net), Zac Efron has dropped out of FOOTLOOSE (the remake) apparently Zac Efron decided that he did not want to make another musical right now, and it also seems that he was "incredibly disappointed in the script the studio was trying to fast track into production." I honestly can't say that I am surprised, but now I'm curious who the studio will find to replace him.

As for Amanda Seyfried, she has dropped out of Zac Snyder's SUCKER PUNCH (the casting of which we announced earlier this month). According to EW Amanda Seyfried had to drop out because of scheduling conflict with HBO's Big Love, in which she stars. So far no word on who will be replacing her.

What do you guys think? Are you disappointed by either of these news or do you just not care at this point?

SUCKER PUNCH: Zack Snyder's All Female Cast Amanda Seyfried, Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, Evan Rachel Wood, & Emma Stone

For his next movie SUCKER PUNCH, Zack Snyder is lining up a pretty incredible all female cast which might include Amanda Seyfried (in negotiations for the lead role), Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, Evan Rachel Wood, and Emma Stone.

Based on Zack Snyder's own script, Sucker Punch tells the story of Baby Doll (Amanda Seyfried) who is committed to an asylum by her stepfather. There she fantasizes about escaping with the help of other inmates, who are also part of her fantasy.
You know what, this actually sounds really cool. I am pretty excited to see what comes of it.

And for those of you who don't know, Zack Snyder is the director behind Watchmen (coming out this Friday, March 6) and 300.
