Sucker Punch
Jena Malone admits that the development of the characters in Sucker Punch drew her to the project.
The actress is all set to star alongside Emily Browning, Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung and Abbie Cornish in Zack Snyder's latest project.
And while he likes the well rounded female characters in the script she admits that the script wasn't straight forward when she read it for the first time.
Speaking to Collider she said: It was hard to know because I feel like so much of it is visually in his mind in the sense of how these worlds come together, you know like, with the music, and there are so many different characters that aren’t necessarily on the page.
"It was a little bit hard to grasp some of it but the most amazing thing that was easy to grasp was that every character was such a three-dimensional character which sort of breaks the genre.
"I feel that within the genre people stop asking the questions that you normally ask with a film so you end up with very one-dimensional characters and I don’t think Zach was interested in doing that at all.
"He kept asking all of the important questions and he just kept building, building, and building these characters. These women are vulnerable, sensitive, angry, violent, beautiful, and kick-ass. You know, as women are.
"We are so many different things and it’s so beautiful to see that on the page. Particularly written by two men, you know, they got it. They’ve been watching."
Sucker Punch is set for release next year.
