Seyfried, Hudgens to star in 'Sucker Punch'

The release of "Watchmen" is not stopping Zack Snyder from working on his upcoming projects.

In fact, Snyder is busy casting "Sucker Punch," and according to the Hollywood Reporter, Amanda Seyfried is in negotiations to join the cast.

Also in talks to board the project are Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, Evan Rachel Wood and Emma Stone. Interesting, interesting!

The fantasy action flick is set in the 1950s, and centers on a girl locked inside a mental institution. During her stay there, she imagines an alternative reality in which she plans her escape by trying to steal five objects she needs to regain her freedom.

The trade says Seyfried would play the lead character, while the others would star as her inmates, who will also show up in her imagined reality.

A film about a bunch of hot actresses locked up in a crazy house? Sounds fun and creepy at the same time, doesn't it?

Seyfried starred in the dreadful adaptation of "Mamma Mia!" Cornish, the star of the fantastic drama "Somersault," also played in "Stop-Loss." Stone recently appeared in "The Rocker."
