From Entertainment Weekly comes word that Zack Snyder has gathered an assembly of young actresses for his upcoming action fantasy Sucker Punch.

Amanda Seyfried, Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, Evan Rachel Wood and Emma Stone are in talks to star in the film. Set in the ‘50s, it will follow a girl named Babydoll (Seyfried) who is taken to a mental institution by her stepfather, who intends to have her lobotomized in five days.

During this time she imagines an alternative reality to hide her from the pain, and in that world begins planning her escape, needing to steal five objects to help her get out before she is deflowered by a vile man.

The other four actresses will play Seyfried’s fellow inmates who also travel into the alternate reality.
