Hi everyone! I posted some info about this stuff on my Twitter and also, if you went to Comic-Con you probaly already know about these things but because there’s no recent and proper Emily news, although rumor has it she may still be in the running for the role of Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, other rumors are floating around that she’s either auditioning for another part or working on something else at the moment. We aren’t sure yet, but we’ll keep you updated!

Anyway, Titan Books will be publishing a book called Sucker Punch: The Art of the Film by Zack Snyder. It won’t be released until February 15th, 2011 but I’ve gone ahead and already pre-ordered the book because I am personally sure this film will be fabulous and the artists who put effort into this film are absolutely incredible. If you don’t feel like searching the site for the summary yourself, here it is:

From Zack Snyder, the director of 300 and Watchmen, comes Sucker Punch, an epic action fantasy that takes us into the vivid imagination of a young girl, whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality. Unrestrained by the boundaries of time and place, she is free to go where her mind takes her but her incredible adventures blur the lines between whats real and what is imaginarywith potentially tragic consequences.
In this official book, Snyder guides you through the many amazing worlds and characters of the film, with eye-popping production art and stunning photographs by Clay Enos (Watchmen: Portraits).

If you’re interested in pre-ordering the book, you can do so by clicking here. If you’ve seen the portrait photos Clay Enos has done for the film, and the official Sucker Punch website alongside Alex Pardee portrait work – you’ll be sure to love this book. As soon as my copy is in my hands I’ll be scanning it exclusively for the site, though I know it’s a long time away.

In other news, if you got a chance to check out Emily as Baby Doll’s action figure at Comic-Con, or you haven’t – check it out below:

We’ve heard that the figures on display at the Con, including a couple of the other girls and the ‘bunny mech’ were there on a ‘test run’ but if all goes well after the film’s release Gentle Giant will be releasing them. Note that this is just a rumor and they have declined to reply to any of my e-mails asking on specific release dates or whether it will happen, but we sure hope so. As for t-shirts, other merchandise, etc. – all of that was apparently exclusive to Comic-Con but I was lucky enough to snag myself a signed Baby Doll poster by Emily while the girls were doing signings! I also have a few Baby Doll bracelets and a couple of the other girls, and a high quality ‘postcard’ of the Gentle Giant figure which in my head confirms that they are pushing releasing these things. Apparently in real life they are pretty large, but no, not life size as some people had gotten that idea.

What else do we know about Sucker Punch? I’d like to say I know a fair amount, and I have been lucky enough to be able to have talked to some of the artists briefly over Twitter but I don’t think I know more than the average person who has done their homework on the film. Plus, I think it’s more fun to find out as we go along.

What are you guys more excited about right now, Sucker Punch‘s release date or seeing some images or a teaser trailer from Emily’s other film, Sleeping Beauty? Do you think Emily deserves a break or should she keep on working? Let us know!
