Sucker Punch should have been a star-making turn for Emily Browning, but the film’s failure meant her performance got pretty much ignored. However she’s still around and will be seen this summer in Magic Mike. Now she’s in talks for a new role according to Variety, Plush, from director Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight, Red Riding Hood).
Hardwicke and co-writer Artie Nelson have come up with the script about a psychologist who has an extra edge on helping his patients through their troubles. As well as being a therapist, he’s also a psychic and can dive into his clients’ minds and witness their memories, all the better to aid them in overcoming their personal demons. However, when he meets a traumatised teenager (Browning) who shares his gift, he seems to have met his match.
It’s a potentially interesting plot and something Browning should do well, who seems to specialise in innocents with a hard edge.
