Sucker Punch - some kind of crazy 1950s thing

I know very little about this upcoming movie, I pretty much just saw a photo from it. Still, by the look of it some of you might be interested.

There´s some character posters out, some of which look wonderfully dieselpunk.

There's not much yet to the official web site yet but it's pretty fun just to sit and watch once it loads.

I'm also quite excited about it! Could be lots of fun!
Anyway - here's some more information (and a pic, too)

"Set in the 1950s, it tells the story of Baby Doll (Browning), who is trying to hide from the pain caused by her evil stepfather and lobotomy. She ends up in mental institution and while there she starts to imagine alternative reality. She plans to escape from that imaginary world but to do that she needs to steal five objects before she is caught by a vile man. She has 5 days to escape before being lobotomized. In order to cope with the situation, she enters the hyper-real world of her imagination, and the lines between reality and dream begin to blur. She is joined with friends who are inmates from the institution. Lessons learned in the said fantasy world could help the girls escape their real-world fate...
...
...described the film as "Alice in Wonderland with machine guns", including dragons, B-52 bombers and brothels. Snyder's wife and producing partner Deborah Snyder concludes, "in the end, it's about this girl's survival and what she needs to do to be able to cope." (wikipedia.com)"

"Sucker Punch is into a mix of real and digital, with the night club built next door to the First World War trenches, a castle's partial facade — dragons to be added later — and the grim asylum hallways."

The first trailer is out, and it looks like a crazy mixture! B-52 bombers with dragons? I'm interested, definitely. I'd link to it, but my internet usage is often limited here in Afghanistan, so look it up!

Incidentally, since this site happans to be a ".org" I can easily access it through even the harshest military filter, so kudos!
