Sucker Punch taunts dragons in this new trailer

Behold! Zack Snyder’s passion project, Sucker Punch, has released a new trailer. Warner Bros loves Snyder right now. They love him so much that they want him to make little Superman babies, which he will begin to do soon. But before Snyder begins to roll up his sleeves and get to work on the Superman reworking, or retelling, or whatever they decide to call the reboot, he will first release the film Sucker Punch, late next month.

Sucker Punch is co-written by Steve Shibuya, but the project is all Snyder. He came up with the story, he is producing with his wife and is also directing. It is a project that he has been working on for years, but it was only after the (relative) success of Watchmen that Warner Bros decided to let him go wild with Sucker Punch.

The movie stars Emily Browning as Baby Doll, a young woman who has been unjustly sent to an asylum during the 1950s. She escapes into her own mind, a place filled with gatling-gun wielding samurai , WWI-style trench warfare battles and dragons, and with the help of the other inmates, she finds that escape in her imaginary world may lead to escape from the asylum as well.

Expect a visual smorgasbord, and look for Sucker Punch in theaters on March 25, 2011.

The best movies on Amazon Prime Video (April 2024)
Ritu Arya and Priya Kansara in Polite Society.

Things are admittedly slow on Amazon Prime Video during the final weekend of April. Fortunately, the martial arts action comedy Polite Society should be able to bring you some excitement this weekend. Romantic comedy fans can also check out How to Date Billy Walsh, a film that has entered the list of the top 10 most popular movies on Prime Video.

If neither of these films are for you, don't worry. This roundup of the best movies on Amazon Prime Video has something for just about everyone. And on May 1, a whole new batch of movies will arrive, with even more to come as we inch closer to summer.

The 50 best movies on Netflix right now (April 2024)
Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney in Anyone But You.

Netflix couldn't have asked for a better late April gift than the streaming premiere of Anyone But You. Thanks to Netflix's deal with Sony, 2024's blockbuster rom-com is already on top of the list of the most popular movies on Netflix, leaving Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver in second place. But things could be much worse for Rebel Moon – Part Two, which is performing well a week after its debut.

The other new addition for the week is King Richard, a sports drama starring Will Smith that's appearing on loan from Warner Bros. Discovery. It's also one of Netflix's top movies of the week, which suggests that the film may find sustained popularity on this platform that it didn't get on Max.

The 50 best shows on Netflix in April 2024
The cast of Dead Boy Detectives.

For the final weekend of April, Netflix has debuted one last original show for the month: Dead Boy Detectives. This series was a bit of a gamble because it was dropped by Max. And it might be humiliating for the Warner Bros. Discovery regime if Dead Boy Detectives goes from being a castoff to a breakout hit. Netflix may be able to create lighting in a bottle, but it doesn't always work out, as exemplified by the disappointing performance of the resurrected Girls5eva earlier this year.

The other new addition this week is White Collar, a forbearer of Suits on the USA Network that ended 10 years ago. All six seasons of White Collar are now available, and it's already one of the most popular shows on Netflix. If White Collar can come anywhere close to the success that Suits has had on Netflix, then we can probably expect to see more shows like this in the future.
