hmmm... bacon. Currency of the Gods.

This movie does look like a must see. But that is what I thought when I heard about Episode I coming out.

You replace that with beer RIGHT NOW!

**Cannerus_The_Unbearable**

I think you're mistaken. The Battleship movie (based off the board game) starring Alexander Skarskard will be the greatest movie of all time

**Alpharius**

I'm sure they all won't make it out 'alive', but Amber and Rocket especially FTW!

True that. Its banned as a political symbol but still holds its relgious meaning. Its used on tombstones in a lot of Buddhist countries and is often depicted onto the chest or head of Buddha statues.
Not that that is relevant, no swastikas appearted in the clip. If they had on Germanic soldiers or warmachines fantasy 'Nazi' would be a valid label.

As a side note, I've seen pictures of WW1 American planes with Swastikas on them.

I didnt know about US planes, but they were popular on French aircraft of the time.

Why do they all have code names like the ones you'd see in roller derby, but the Asian girl is just... Amber? Could they just not think of something that wasn't racist?

**Scrazza**

I. have . to. see. this. movie......Lest. I. have. depression.

**helgrenze**

Hehehe..... IMDB describes it as "Alice in Wonderland... with machineguns."

As for the WWII German soldier debate.... Around the 39-43sec mark in the trailer, Those do look like WWII german helmets rather than the WWI style.

Or she's by far the hottest and possibly the coolest, and "Amber" is all she needs?

**Sanctjud**

Well this goes top on the list...and yes to pillow fights...maybe after the credits...

**Mannahnin**

...and Alpharius wins the thread.

Nice pics!

**FM Ninja 048**

Dem eyes...

**Soladrin**

You all put the name nerd to shame!

Am I the only one who is actually annoyed at an all female main cast?

And heck, for all I care, a battle between the list posted by OP lasting 1.5 hour would be better for me. Don't need some wannabe teen girls prancing about, fething up action scenes.

**mattyrm**

See above Soldarin, im with you all the way mate.

**Alpharius**

Apparently there's at least one (or two) in every crowd...

**Pipboy101**

I'm not annoyed at all.

**George Spiggott**

I'm getting a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen feeling about this...

This film will in all likelihood suck.

I'm personally biased toward "Rocket" myself....but again, that's mostly owing to my penchant for Jena Malone.

**WarOne**

I believe this movie will be kinda like the revised Alice in Wonderland feeling- nice to watch but not really invested storyline wise.

My guess is that this movie will have a flying dog in it, since it looks like it has one of everything else...

It is interesting that the director has decided to do the lesbian version of 300 to balance out the homo-erotic readings though...

**warpcrafter**

I want this movie so bad I can't think straight. Excuse me while I wipe up...

Prior to filming, the cast had trainings and fight evaluations. Training lasted for 12 weeks. It started last June 2009 in Los Angeles and continued through filming. The main girls in the film were told to lift 210 pounds weight for their roles. The stunt coordinators in 300, Snyder's previous film were also hired for the stunts in the movie. The other cast members started training without Hudgens while she was filming another film, Beastly. Snyder tells that when the girls are fighting, "like they're on their way to kill a baby dragon, they've killed all of these orc-like creatures and they're entering a door and it's this classic, real Navy SEAL style room clearing. They have machine guns but they're fighting mythic creatures, impossible creatures. The hand to hand stuff is all brutal, because DamonCaro did all the fights in Bourne and it has that vibe to it." In the characters' imaginations, Snyder remarks that "they can do anything."

Abbie Cornish reveals that the rest of them are doing trainings, prior to filming, five days a week in six hours a day, and were oriented with martial fighting, swords and choreography. And in the afternoon, they conduct their training sessions.87eleven, famous for choreographing stunts from films like 300 and the Bourne film series, have worked with Snyder again for Sucker Punch as they previously worked on Snyder's past films.

tl;dr this film has the guy from the bourne trilogy helping with stunts & action scenes

I think this movie was written by a nerd for nerds. It's like a movie on skinamax, it is not about the story.

Pure visual impact baby. I also love the song choice; that was a standard back in my goth club days.

I'm annoyed that they're annoyed. I think female characters that can kick ass are great.
