I'm wildly curious to see what's going on in Sucker Punch. Zack Snyder's follow-up to Watchmen features a wild cast (Emily Browning, Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung, Jena Malone and Abbie Cornish, with Carla Gugino, Jon Hamm, Scott Glenn and Oscar Isaac) with the first five names as a group of girls locked in an unsavory mental institution, from which they escape through fantasy. It is said to be violent and weird and full of monsters. And now Abbie Cornish says there is...singing and dancing? Rad, count me in.
Anyone who says you can't just throw a dance number in a genre film needs to re-familiarize themselves with The Happiness of the Katakuris (Takashi Miike) and/or Zatoichi (Takeshi Kitano) or just go back to (500) Days of Summer, though the latter obviously isn't a genre flick. But it's not as easy as just dropping in a number here and there.
