The director of 300 and Watchmen goes for the celluloid hat trick

Saw the trailer to Sucker Punch at Comic Con this past week and boy does it look like a doozy.

You can see traces of 300 and most definitely Sin City, but that shouldn’t surprise as both took Frank Miller’s graphic novels and manifested them directly into celluloid. In fact, you can’t even […]
