Sorry I disappeared there for a bit folks, I had some very serious family problems. So I am terribly sorry and I hope you can forgive me. Fortunately, I have some news of Emily to add! She might be in new film soon. Keep your fingers crossed

Julia Leigh’s Sleeping Beauty is inching through pre-production, having secured a lead actress to replace Mia Wasikowska, who is preparing to become an international name playing Alice in Tim Burton’s imminent release, Alice In Wonderland. The Melbourne star of Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, Emily Browning, will take the lead in the potentially controversial tale about a uni student who becomes a “sleeper” in a Sleeping Beauty chamber. Jessica Brentball, presently having an award-winning run with the short The Cat Piano, is producing the film.

Please remember it is just a rumor until confirmed

Here is just some extra tidbits about Emily’s latest film, Sucker Punch.

The set for the action-fantasy Sucker Punch sprawls through four Vancouver sound stages that together amount to an onscreen explosion of what’s in writer-director Zack Snyder’s imagination.

The director of Dawn of the Dead, 300 and the Vancouver-filmed Watchmen has returned to the city to film his first original story — after the zombie remake and the two graphic novel adaptations — and a walk through the various sets gives a clue to just how all-encompassing this genre-blending story is.

Sucker Punch is set in the 1960s, when a teenaged girl (Emily Browning) is sent to an asylum by her nasty stepfather.

Once inside, the girl bonds with several other teen patients (Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone and Jamie Chung), and she retreats into a multi-level fantasy world where she and her friends are, by turns, the star attractions in a Moulin Rouge-esque night club brothel, and sexy warriors battling robotic Germans in a stylized version of the First World War. As well, they fight dragons and knights in a medieval world, kick alien butt on a futuristic planet, and battle giant samurai in an ancient temple.

All of which means that at any time, Snyder is telling a couple of hundred artisans, technicians and stunt performers what’s in his head, from intricately carved Japanese swords to rhinestone-studded fishnet stockings, with the cast along for the wild, imaginative ride.

“You’re not just working with a director who found a script that they liked and maybe did a few storyboards a couple of months ago,” says Malone, watching this day as co-star Hudgens does a techno-belly dance musical number in the cavernous night club set.

“You’re literally working out of his imagination — it’s all in his mind, the entire film. It’s so epic in his brain that he’s just our full resource. any question you have, you can go to him.”

Which helps the cast with the film’s extensive green-screen scenes. In the Montreal-filmed 300, Snyder put Gerard Butler and cast in a totally green-screen environment with nearly every background added digitally afterwards.

I was just browsing around IMDB this morning, and I noticed this page up titled ‘Untitled Lemony Snicket Sequel’. It is supposedly set for 2012, but that was the only information. No other word about whether or not Emily and the other cast members will be in it. I really hope they are though, which would mean more Emily updates! I will keep everyone posted if I hear more, or if it’s just a rumor. To check out the page, click here.

Hello all Emily fans! My name is Emma and I am happy to announce that I have taken over Emily Browning Online! I’m so excited to be starting on this fantastic site, since I have been a loyal visitor for quite some time. I have huge plans coming up to keep the site updated again. That includes new layouts for the main site and gallery, new network sites, and a few other surprises I will get started on those soon, so make sure you keep checking back.

EDIT: I read all the past comments about how you missed the chatbox and the forums. I want to make the viewers happy, so I have reinstated the chatbox and the forum will be up soon. I will post more about the forum later, but for now, enjoy the chatbox.

While doing press for Bright Star, HitFix was able to get actress Abbie Cornish to dish some dirt on the upcoming Zack Snyder film Sucker Punch, which began shooting in Vancouver last month.

As you know already, Snyder has called the film “Alice in Wonderland with machine guns”, a 1950’s-period action movie which tells the story of a girl named Baby Doll (Emily Browning) who is confined to a mental institution by her evil stepfather, who intends to have her lobotomized in five days. While imprisoned, she imagines an alternative reality to hide her from the pain. In this fantasy world, where she needs to steal five objects to help her out before she is deflowered by a vile man. So what juicy tidbits did Cornish spill?

Cornish says Snyder’s latest is “seriously, six films in one almost,” revealed that she carries “a good shot gun, a knife and a broad four”, and talked briefly about her duel roles: “I have had a field day not only play the girl in the psych ward, but the girl in crazy action sequences killing 20 guys in row.” Sounds cool to me, and we know Snyder will be able to make it look cool (my problem with most films that feature women kicking ass is that it looks forced and fake). You can read more comments from Cornish on HitFix.

The film also stars Jamie Chung (Dragonball Evolution), Jenna Malone (Into The Wild, Donnie Darko), Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical) play Cornish’s fellow inmates who also travel into the alternate reality. Carla Gugino has also been cast as a nurse in the insane asylum who becomes a madam at a brothel in the film’s alternate reality, and Mad Men star Jon Hamm plays High Roller, the owner of the sub world brothel. Warner Bros has previously announced a March 25th 2011 release date.
