Here’s Australian actress Emily Browning, aka Sucker Punch‘s Baby Doll, in the Cannes poster for the Jane Campion-produced Sleeping Beauty. While the poster doesn’t show us much (how about a little sideboob there, huh, cowboy?), the synopsis sounds positively delightful:
Browning plays a girl lured into a world of secret prostitutes, who is convinced to take a drug that makes her comatose as clients fulfill their most twisted sex fantasies. |HuffingtonPost|
It doesn’t seem like “secret prostitutes” would make much money. Kind of defeats the purpose. In any case, we’ve already learned that the fantasy fetish-slut zombie-fighting WWI pterodactyl action in Sucker Punch was actually a perfect metaphor for the mental retreat of child sexual abuse victims during acts of abuse. Thus, there seems to be a pattern developing in Emily Browning’s choice of roles. If she’s not careful, she may end up another Jennifer Jason Leigh, or Maria Bello, third slot down on the we-need-a-rape-victim emergency call list every casting director keeps tacked to the office cork board. Unless it’s just typecasting. She must give off a real I’ll-find-a-way-to-endure-this vibe.

A feature no doubt shared by most of the people watching her films.
They sent an intern to ask Uma Thurman if she was interested in the lead. It took several surgeries but eventually his colon was reattached.
It’s too bad Charlie Sheen blew all his lawyer money going after
Chaim LevineChuck Lorre, because he might have a legit case against the screenwriters here.I’m pretty sure I’m never going to see Sucker Punch even though it tried so hard to look like it had everything you’d want. Because it also looked too much like Burlesque. Couldn’t risk being ambushed by Cher.
“Secret prostitutes” sounds like a whole different movie pitch. It could be an awesome conspiracy movie.
Guy 1: “We gotta go out and get laid!”
Guy 2: “SHH! DON’T LET THEM HEAR YOU! THEY’RE EVERYWHERE!”
In a related story, the producers of Law & Order: SVU just fired three writers.
Lame. I don’t need drugs to just lay there during sex.
It’s always a prick that makes Sleeping Beauty fall asleep.
Casting a comatose Austral1an willing to whore out for money?
What, was Russel Crowe busy?
Browning was an excellent choice for a stage name.
Chino, are you my ex-wife?
Who the hell pays for sex when all the girl does is lay there? Just roofie stupid chicks at the bar like the rest of us!
Secret prostitutes may not make much, but Secret Dwarf Hooker made almost $80 million.
i’ve made this movie before. entirely from security camera footage
Secret Prostitutes! You don’t know it… but you’ve just been fucked!
Hollywood, you owe me for that.
Of course, this is going to be in theatres, so ‘twisted sex fantasies’ will be ‘having bum sex’ and ‘being naked with a girl in the room’.
Chloe Sevigny screen tested for the role, but was rejected because she couldn’t stay still during the coma-fuck scenes.
She can just lie there if she prefers, but a bit of Browning motion would really help with my Wiener process.
BOOM, mathematics jokes!
Or maybe they whore out your secrets (like I’m a prostitute.)
