Vanessa Hudgens Gets Sucker Punched
Vanessa Hudgens will be hopping from one side of Canada to the other this year as she’ll soon be joining Emily Browning and Abbie Cornish in Vancouver to film Sucker Punch.
The 20-year-old actress, who’s currently in Montreal filming Beastly with hunk Alex Pettyfer, dished to MTV that she couldn’t be more thrilled with the role of Blondie.
Vanessa shared, “I’m extremely excited. When I read about the project I was like, ‘That’d be great, but its not going to happen’…and now it actually is!”
Director Zack Snyder is equally as thrilled that Vanessa is going to be in his movie. He told InStyle UK, “She understood immediately what I was trying to do with the movie and has the acting chops to pull it off; her dancing background gives her the physicality to be an action star; and let’s face it, she is also beautiful.”
Sucker Punch is the story of young girl, Baby Doll (Browning) who is institutionalized by an abusive stepfather. In order to survive in this new setting, the girl retreats into a fantasy world of her own creation. It all seems innocent — if exceedingly dark — enough, until the imaginary place becomes a tool which she uses to plan an escape. Jena Malone and Jamie Chung also star.

I love Vanessa and can’t wait to see that movie. She will do a great job and i’m glad that the director is telling everyone how great he thinks she is.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH….CAN’T WAIT. VANESSA ♥
LOVE YOU.
were can i watch the video i the uk
omg, we havent seen her for awhile!! so happy to finally see her face again! =D
that’s so exciting 4 her!!! She’ll do fantastic. Its good that she is branching out and doing more mature films.
Great to see that she is now being noticed for her acting, she’ll do great in this movie more matured and focused on her acting abilities.
Great Job Vanessa, you never cease to amaze all of you fans. It’s also great that she is moving up in Hollywood the good old fashion way, the hard way and not throwing herself to anyone just to get noticed.
This is really going to be different for Vanessa. I think it is really great. She will have HSM, Bandslam, Beastly, then Sucker Punch. It will be a wide-range of movie types which can only help her career.
@dundies:
lol
I was just about to post this link and here it is! lol
What would you suggest she say?
Do you know anything about the movie?the character?
didnt think so
Anyway more importantly I cant wait for this movie?
btw, it looks like she’s got highlights in this video, am i the only who noticed that?
i love her <333
i’m so excited !!!!!!!!!
@dundies:
If you actually took sometime to think about it you would realise that she is not allowed to say much about the film. They have to keep it under wraps. Think a little harder before you post.
GO VANESSAAAA!! <3333333333333
I love the fact that she auditioned and she actually got the role and was the 1st choice Actress for her role.
@Laura:
She has had the highlights for about a week now, I think she needed them for Beastly - Lindy has red-brown hair I think.
@Laura: i dont think those are highlights…i think thats just her natural hair!!!
I can’t wait for all her movies. She’s going to be great.
I can’t wait!
Huuuge V fan!
I support Vanessa Hudgens fully in everything she does!
I love Vanessa Hudgens !
so happy for her. she’s going to kick butt on her next movie
I just finished reading Beastly (it only took one day!), it was a great book! I can’t wait for the movie!
#15 She did for Beastly. #21 umm no it’s not.

http://www.cinematical.com/2009/06/25/zack-snyder-might-deliver-a-pg-13-sucker-punch/
Vanessa is very brave.she likes to try differentes characters,althought that could get a bad criticisms for her.
Waiting for Beastly and Sucker Punch!!!!
I wish Zanessa will get some movie together soon.
Please vote Vanessa on TCA.
And Zanessa too.
I adore her highlights, they are so pretty.
I love how excited she is for this. And know it’s a challenging and will be pushed to her limits to do so. Zack really sees something in her, her first choice for the character. I can’t wait for production to start.
@suzy (#19). I don’t think Vanessa audition for Sucker Punch. The role is offered to her by the director and producer.
i actually want to watch that sucker punch movie!
I ADORE V !!!! Don’t forget to vote . Can’t wait to see more pictures from the set of Beastly .
im really happy with her Sucker Punch choice. im glad people are noticing her as a great actor… she deserves to get noticed
cuz i i can’t see the video (because i live in the UK) - does she mention that she’ll be hopping from one side of canada to the other?
DO NOT WANT TO THINK THAT I AM SO Pessimism I say
hope that ZAC EFRON IS THE CHANCE TO SEE THE FILM OF VANESSA BEASTLY AND SUCKER PUNCH, in accompanying PREMIERES AND SUPPORT .. AS MUCH TO SEE THE FILMS OF VANESSA BEASTLY 2010 AND SUCKER PUNCH 2011
HOW LONG it will last BELIEVE THE RELATIONSHIP OF ZAC AND VANESSA
omg!!!her laugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!oouw sooooo cutee!!!!!!i love her,and i want a loot see this filmm….sooo perfect…:DDlove her
@Hollywood fan:
Yes she did but Jared doesnt mention it its in the actual article from MTV
I didnt get it either lol
till i finally read the article
http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2009/06/25/vanessa-hudgens-on-landing-a-sucker-punch/
@Hollywood fan:
They all auditioned for all the roles. The director offered the particular roles to the five girls he thought were best in those roles. So she was his first choice for Blondie.
This is great news because this was not just handed to her just because she has a name or is gorgeous, she went in there and earned that role for herself.
That’s why Zack Snyder told InStyle UK that she had the acting chops to pull it off, he’s seen what she can do first hand.
I’m so stoked for her. This movie will take her to a totally different level and put her in a different league.
she’s SO beautiful!o.o
@jenny:
HUH??
Im not trying to be rude but you always ask questions and id really like to answer them but i can never understand what you write?
I can explain how the classification is a PG-13 film in U.S.
this is what he saysvanessa of his character BLONDI
I’m playing Blondie. It’s pretty dark Persönlichlkeit. It is difficult to implement. And it’s just really exciting. It is quite difficult to make a lot of crazy and sexy women showing what they can do. I’m very excited. I love training, and lead us pretty hard on it. I do things I never had vorgestelllt every time I go to. So I am very excited. Yes, there are many weapons in question. girls with weapons, but it sounds cool?
it is will be a film with a high tone sensuality will be very hot
I really want to go see that movie!
sadly it’s rated R….
Well, actually i don’t really know th rating…
Some say it’s rated R and others say it’s rated PG-13?
I’m pretty sure it’s PG-13 though….
Zack Snyder Might Deliver a PG-13 ‘Sucker Punch’
http://www.cinematical.com/2009/06/25/zack-snyder-might-deliver-a-pg-13-sucker-punch/

@Malee: Zack wants to try and make it PG-13. Watching this got me more excited for the movie.
She is definitely on a role here. First, Bandslam then Beastly and now Sucker Punch. YAY !! I’m so excited and proud of her. …And OMG. Zachary and Vanessa in Vancouver…OMG. My life will be complete if I ever get to meet BOTH of them. AAAHHHH !!!!

Help! I cannot see the video
I am not from the U.S so I can’t see this interview 
Is there an alternate video?
Vanessa is so sweet.

Am glad Vanessa auditioned for the role and that it wasn’t handed to her on a platter and also that she was first choice for Blondie. Zack sees the potential in her, period.
I can’t think of anyone I’d like to see in an action flick more than Vanessa. I think she’ll be amazing and totally sexy!! Can’t wait!!
I’m so excited for her and can’t wait for all her movies….

ugh am i the only one that wishes that they would just post the entire video alltogether already?
http://splashpage.mtv.com/2009/06/25/vanessa-hudgens-talks-wonder-woman-catwoman-and-ass-kicking-women/
i can’t wait to watch for all of her movies i really proud of her!!
i live in uk i can’t watch that video.
With her positive attitude, her ability to focus she’ll go very far in this business as long as she stays faithfull and true to herself and not get caught up with all the hype in the business. My prayer for her is that she cross paths with honest, true, authentic and people with dignity in her promising career for she has alot of unique talent to offer.
love her!!! she is going rock it out!! cant wait for movie!!!
Glad that this kind of role were offered to her. I’m absolutely thrilled that we will see her kicking some butt! Go V, show them what you got girl!
V RULES
SHE LOOKS SSSSUPEER PRETTY IN THAT INTERVIEW! V’S SUCH A GREAT ACTRESS AND NOW SHE’S GONNA SHOW IT TO EVERY1!
CANT WAIT TO SEE HER IN AN ACTION MOVIE ! ITS GONNA B GR8!
RIP MICHAEL JACKSON! <3
I didn’t care much for the Watchmen, so I hope that Sucker Punch will be a much better movie…it will be interesting to see if Vanessa is the right choice for this role.

VOTE VANESSA, ZAC AND ZANESSA @ TEEN CHOICE AWARDS!
YOU CAN VOTE EVERY DAY AND DONT NEED TO LIVE IN THE USA TO VOTE!
about that interview on MTV where she would like to play ”CATWOMAN”.I think that would be a great part for her. In ”THE THUNDERBIEDS” she had cat eyes.IN ”HSM12and3 they were all ”WIDCATS.” Now I would love to see her be CATWOMAN”in the movies, I really think she would be great ifor this part. It would be fantastic!
#67(athena)…Accordingly to Zach Synder, Vanessa must be the right person for Sucker Punch, because he has choosen her for Blonde. The choices are usually up to the directors/producers for all movie/film roles. I always believe that Vanessa is more suited for action movies anyway.
I have to say, I am very excited for this film. It’s a chance for Vanessa to grow as an actress and pick up new skills. Not only that, but it is pathway for Vanessa to become more of a mainstream actress(not only teen related projects).
Some of things I have heard about it so far sound completely out there. Like a brothel in an insane asylum and machine guns. This make me even more excited because it is usually the most risky concepts that are the most captivating on screen.
The fact that Zach Synder has chosen Vanessa for this role says a lot. He obviously sees potential in her otherwise he wouldn’t take his chances with a former Disney star. She seems to completely understand how hard she’s going to have to work to prove herself to skeptics who think this is way beyond her league.
She has taken the right steps in gradually moving her career forward. She has made very smart decisions including taking a break from music. I was very happy to hear that because I think that is where she needs to focus all of her attention. I think acting projects will determine her longevity in this industry. I’m keeping my fingers crossed in the hopes that this will be a fantastic movie.
Replay a lot jajaja I just love Vanessa, she is so niceee
@Helen:
