    She was miscast in Watchmen, but I'm looking forward to this as Snyder's first original project.

    Just wondering, due to your previous comment, "they can pull it off...if they try, I guess." I mean, who wouldn't try? Anyways, it's just I hate posers who don't know that the pic they have has to do with a movie their sorta putting down, and am highly opinionated AT TIMES. But no worries, it's cool.

    Zack Snyder is the next Stanley Kubrick? Easily one of the most stupid statements ever uttered.

    Lock and Stock, since you admitted Zack is brilliant, and I agree, we should have full faith that he will make her character work. Actually, I thought she was perfect for this movie, due to it being set in the 50's and the fact that I see he kicking someone's ass and being "demented."

    Afterall, "It's Alice in Wonderland with machine guns." ;)
