After months and months of buzz, rumors and hype, Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch is finally about to drop in theaters. MTV News has been on this film’s case from day one and recently had the opportunity to catch up with the cast and director for a few in-depth chats.

First up, the lovely leading ladies addressed the film’s most outrageous moments.

“I think, for me, when we’re on the B-25 bomber plane and we’re being chased by a dragon and I’m shooting at it,” said Vanessa Hudgens, who plays Blondie. “It’s pretty intense.”

“I got to do this really fun green-screen moment where I was being lowered upside down on a harness 40 feet in the air,” Jena Malone, a.k.a. Rocket in the film, explained. “I had to clear out my mag on my UMP [Universal Machine Pistol] while I was shooting all these robots that I was doing a double-flip over in the middle of a bullet train.”

You can’t talk about the visually-stunning, action-packed, fierce-female-driven Sucker Punch without mentioning the costumes worn by the leading ladies—layer upon layer of bondage harnesses, fishnet underthings, leather laceups and the occasional sailor suit. So when we sat down with stars Emily Browning, Jamie Chung, Jena Malone and Abbie Cornish for a chit-chat, the discussion was fashion first.

Jamie started out by explaining the way that costumes helped the girls get into character—and to make the transition as actors from their real-world scenes to the epic dreamworld in which their battle takes place. “We had a lot to play with,” she explained, “with power and strength, but still being really vulnerable. It’s a wide range of different costumes that help put you in a different kind of mood.”

And in some cases, the mood wasn’t good. Jena said of their “institutional” costumes, “We were wearing these gray, drab…frocks! It’s just, like, dirt—you put it on and there’s a weight on your shoulders.”

Although she was quick to add that the depression lifted when the costumes came off: “And the next day we’re wearing these dance warm-up costumes that make you want to stretch and move your legs and move around…and the next day, we’re in our fight uniforms, where it’s like—instantly, you just walk out of your trailer and nobody’s gonna f— with you!”

Held yesterday at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles was the premiere of Sucker Punch. The girls were of course in attendance and our darling lady looked exceptional in an electric blue gown by Amanda Wakeley Spring 2011. She completed her look with sapphire drop earrings and a gold envelope clutch. She looks fantastic in this color. Over 100 medium resolution photos have been added so far. It’s likely more (and hopefully high qualities) will be on their way when possible.
