Sucked Out

Amanda Seyfried has been forced to drop out of the leading role in Zack Snyder's "Sucker Punch"--touted as "Alice in Wonderland with guns," over her commitment to HBO 's drama "Big Love" reports Entertainment Weekly.

In the 1960's-set, R-rated action fantasy, Seyfried was set to play a young woman who has been committed to an insane asylum and fantasizes about escaping with the help of her fellow inmates.

Due to scheduling, 'Sucker' will be shooting this Fall - around the same time 'Love' is midway through filming its fourth season and HBO won't release her from her commitment.

Evan Rachel Wood, Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, and Emma Stone are still set to co-star in the action-thriller due for release next October.

I find it hard to believe that schedules couldn't be accommodated since the studio releasing Sucker also owns the cable net.
