The stars of Zack Snyder‘s estrogen-infused, sci-fi action flick ‘Sucker Punch’ walked the black carpet Wednesday for the ultra-glam premiere of the film starring Abbie Cornish, Emily Browning, Vanessa Hudgens and Jon Hamm.
Snyder, who also directed ‘Watchmen’ and ‘300,’ attended the premiere with his leading ladies and gentleman at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.
Australian actress Browning is Baby Doll, a girl who loses her loved ones and gets locked away by her stepfather (Gerard Plunkett) in a Vermont insane asylum -- and is then tasked by wise man Scott Glenn with finding five items she needs to be set free. Plunkett and Glenn did not attend the premiere.
Hamm plays High Roller, a different type of mad man.
The leading ladies in the asylum -- and walking the carpet -- with Browning include Cornish, who plays Sweet Pea; Jena Malone, who plays Sweet Pea’s sister Rocket; and ‘Grown Ups’ nanny Jamie Chung, cast as Amber.
Hudgens, who built her fame on the ‘High School Musical’ empire and plays Blondie (a brunet), stepped out with her costars at the premiere. Click the pics for more photos from the event.
Carla Gugino plays Polish psychotherapist Dr. Vera Gorski, who offers up striptease as a cure, in the Warner Bros. film.
Diane Lane, who will play Martha Kent in Snyder’s upcoming film, ‘Superman: Man of Steel,’ joined Malin Akerman at the premiere. Akerman previously starred in Snyder’s ‘Watchmen.’
‘Scream 4’ star Emma Roberts and newly single singer Joe Jonas also hit the black carpet.
The film sucker punches its way into theaters March 25.
For the record, 4:45 p.m. March 24: This post originally said ‘Sucker Punch’ revolves around the Sweet Pea character, played by Abbie Cornish. Emily Browning’s Baby Doll is in fact the main character; the post has been revised to reflect that. Thanks to commenter @Reila Scott for flagging the gaffe.
