SpinOff has an interview with Abbie Cornish and Jena Malone about Sucker Punch. This was taken on the set in late 2009.

Of the film’s many strengths, the five actresses at the core of Sucker Punch are at the forefront. Emily Browning leads the pack as Baby Doll, but she’s supported by an excellent cast that includes Jena Malone as field medic Rocket and Abbie Cornish as the fierce Sweet Pea, Rocket’s sister.

When we spoke with those two actresses on the set of Sucker Punch in late 2009, it was a particularly good day to talk to Malone. You see, while a healthy chunk of Sucker Punch dwells on action and adventure, there are also numerous dance sequences. The day we were on set just so happened to be Malone’s turn on stage, delivering a provocative dance routine that’s about as personal as it gets.

Abbie Cornish was honored at the 2011 G’Day USA Ball yesterday held on famed Sunset Boulevard. She looked stunning in a black floor length, figure hugging lace gown by Elie Saab and accented with a silver cuff and drop earrings, as well as a ring on her left hand.

Abbie was presented the Excellence in Film award by Sucker Punch director Zac Snyder. It was the third anniversary of late great Australian actor Heath Ledger‘s passing and Cornish dedicated her G’day USA Award to him. She made an emotional speech about her Candy co-star and his pivotal influence on her career.

She told a story about shooting Bright Star in London and requiring a new trailer because hers was too small. Four trailers arrived and she randomly picked one. It turned out to be Ledger’s former trailer and they found a hotel room key he had used and a stash of vitamin pills. Before closing she accepted the accolade in “Heath’s memory”.
