Discussion Fun Fact: Emma Stone originally turned down Snyder's Sucker Punch (2011) in order to take on Easy A

A shame. I enjoy the movie, but personally think she'd do a way better job at Sucker Punch. Easy A was super boring.

(i hope im allowed to post this here, I think this is the only snyder sub, and I don't know if this focuses only on the snyder cut specifically since I didn't see many posts about snyder's other works, and they need more appreciating!)

Who had a better career? Emma Stone or whoever the protagonist of Sucker Punch was? That's your answer.

I felt at that point in her career, Easy A was a better choice. I like both movies, but comedies just suited her better at the time. Interesting to think of how Sucker Punch would have played out with her though!

For the lead? That would have been some fun fight scenes.

In hindsight, being in Easy A was a better choice

No kidding. I hated Sucker Punch. It was all flash and zero substance. And I mean ZERO substance. The characters, the plot, etc. The music and the visuals were good. That's it. It convinced me that Snyder can only direct a movie if it is an already established IP, otherwise it's gonna bite.

Yeah like Emma Stone has a much better career than Emily Browning.

u/JACEonFIre 1d ago

I mean she's been in some good stuff and has definitely had a good career she's a great actress.

A little unfair to compare to an A listed and one of the best actress on the planet 🤣 but I get your point

u/BigBiggum 2d ago

She definitely benefited from that decision. As someone who liked Sucker Punch, she perfectly nailed the role for Easy A

That's weird, usually Stone likes working on auteur driven projects, but I guess this was a different point in her career.

Yeah. It would be cool to see her in another Snyder project. Sort of happy she chose Easy A as that did boost her career prospects with its success, whilst sucker punch sadly underperformed.
