According to The Hollywood Reporter, Abbie will indeed take part in Sucker Punch! by Zac Snyder as it’s been long rumored for weeks now. Her character is reportedly called Sweetpea.
Several actors have been in talks and negotiations to star in the movie, including Amanda Seyfried, Evan Rachel Wood and Emma Stone, but have fallen away because of scheduling conflicts.
Amanda Seyfried will no longer take the lead; that will go to actress Emily Browning. Jamie Chung, is replacing Emma Stone, and she plays Amber, a country girl with a big heart. Jena Malone will be taking on Wood’s part, playing Cornish’s younger sister. Both characters are inmates.
Set in the 1950s, Sucker centers on a girl confined to a mental institution by her evil stepfather, who intends to have her lobotomized in five days. While there, she imagines an alternate reality to hide from the pain and in that world begins planning her escape, needing to steal five objects to help get her out.
Jane Campion’s Bright Star has made the official selection for the 2009 Cannes Film Festival!
The festival runs May 13-24 and hopefully Abbie will be in attendance at the film’s premieres and photocalls!
