Sucker Punch, a mash-up movie that was divided into distinct video game-inspired levels that borrowed elements from fantasy, cyberpunk, science-fiction and other genres, was described by Snyder as “Alice in Wonderland with machine guns” back in the day.Sucker Punchfollowed after Snyder’s breakout success with300and his polarizingWatchmenadaptation.Sucker Punchwas his first outright critical and commercial disappointment, grossing $89 million worldwide on a reported budget of $82 million.
Snyder revealed in aVanity Fairvideo that his first real brush with studio interference happened not on his DC movies, but onSucker Punch. He said, “[Sucker Punch] was the first time where I really faced, like, a true radical restructuring of the film for it to be more commercial. And there is a director’s cut of that movie that has yet to be released. I’ll say that out loud.”
The director currently has his plate full. Snyder is awaiting the release of a spin-off to his Netflix zombie movieArmy of the Dead, titledArmy of Thieves. He’ll then direct the sci-fi adventureRebel Moonand a sequel toArmy of the Dead, both as part of his two-year deal with the streamer. Check out Malone’s Instagram post here:
