As previously reported, Abbie is featured on one of five Sucker Punch covers of Nylon Magazine’s April issue. The other ladies all take their own solo covers as well. I have added the photoshoot and cover image to the gallery, as well as an excerpt from the article. This magazine has yet to be put on shelves here but I’ll be picking it up as soon as it does!
“One night I was having dinner with Bradley Cooper and he was like, ‘If [the cast of the A-Team] had played paintball with [the cast of Sucker Punch] you would have kicked our butts.” It’s like, “Yeah, we know.” – Abbie Cornish

Abbie and her fellow Sucker Punch ladies attended a press conference for the film on May 19 in Beverly Hills. Abbie looked super cute; I really love her short new ‘do! A handful of MQ photos have been uploaded in the gallery.

USA Today features an interesting new interview with our girl, which is accompanied by a beautiful new photo. You can read the article by clicking here. There’s also an adorable little Q&A video with Abbie, which you can check out right below.
“I think it’s really important to live in the moment,” she says. “Something I’ve noticed as I get older is that I do think about the future more. It’s all positive thinking.” For example, she says, “I can see (having) a child one day, and so I start to take more care of myself.”

If you don’t know Abbie Cornish’s work yet, you should … and will. The 27-year-old star of Bright Star, Stop-Loss and the arresting Candy (with Heath Ledger) can now be seen in theaters with Bradley Cooper in Limitless, in which a new drug can afford users access to 100 percent of their brains. She also stars in Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch – as Sweet Pea, one of a group of institutionalized women who discover they are warriors. Sucker Punch opens March 25.
Q: Was the nature of intelligence something you addressed in preparing for Limitless?
A: Particularly, there were discussions of what it would feel like to use 100 percent of your brain. It’s hard to imagine, you know? They say we only use, like, 10 percent of our brains. So it’s not like we use 50 and you just have to times it by two; we have to times it by 10.
When you’ve got a movie about a guy on drugs, what better way to show his softer side than to give him a girlfriend? Well, not only does Abbie Cornish do just that for Bradley Cooper’s character in Limitless, but her own has quite a bit of depth as well – and a heck of a fight sequence.
Cooper is Eddie Morra, a guy who gets hooked on a new illegal drug called NZT. The little clear pill gives the user the ability to use their brain’s full potential ultimately making them smarter and stronger. Cornish’s character, Lindy, is Eddie’s former flame. She ditches Eddie after he hits an all-time low, but the two reunite when Eddie becomes super Eddie courtesy of NZT. However, Eddie’s new life isn’t entirely noble and he gets mixed up with some shady characters and, of course, Lindy gets a little too involved for her liking.
With Limitless hitting theaters on March 18th and Sucker Punch arriving on the 25th, Cornish is in full press mode and came ready to spill on anything and everything from her awe of Robert De Niro to her tactics when choosing roles. Check out all of that and much more in the interview below and be sure to keep an eye out for Cornish’s big moment in the film. You won’t believe the lengths she goes to!
