Punching In

Oscar Isaac is joining the cast of Zack Snyder's "Sucker Punch" reports Variety.

Set in the 1950s, the story follows Babydoll (Emily Browning) who is confined to a mental institution by her stepfather, who intends to have her lobotomized in five days. While there, she imagines an alternative reality to hide her from the pain, and in that world, she begins planning her escape, needing to steal five objects to help get her out before she is deflowered by a vile man.

Vanessa Hudgens, Carla Gugino,, Jamie Chung, Jena Malone, Scott Glenn, and Abbie Cornish co-star. Snyder co-wrote the script with Steve Shibuya.

Filming is to kick off this Fall-

Isaac did fine work in both Body of Lies and Che: Part One. And it's nice see that Snyder added some more testosterone to this pic even though I'm sure the ladies will kick plenty of butt...

Punch is scheduled to open March 25, 2011.
