'Sucker Punch's' Vanessa Hudgens: 'I got to work with some amazing young women'

In the mood for a kick-ass girl power movie fit for a fanboy? Well then you're in luck.

"Sucker Punch" hits theaters Friday (Mar. 25) starring one of our favorites here at Zap2it, Vanessa Hudgens.

The brunette beauty looks smokin' in this still from the film, in which she plays "Blondie," but Hudgens was rocking a more demure look at the Wednesday premiere. The "High School Musical" alum sparkled on the red carpet in a loose up-do and a backless gown by Jenny Packham.

Zap2it caught up with Hudgens not too long ago at a press junket for "Beastly," where she told us why she's psyched to be a part of the upcoming film.

"I'm very excited about [Sucker Punch] because not only is it fun and big and action, it also leaves you a really great message," she tells us. "It says that you basically have control of your future and your destiny, and I got to work with some amazing young women."

Some of those amazing young women include Abbie Cornish, Emily Browning, Jena Malone and Jamie Chung.

For an escape from your daily reality, be sure to check out "Sucker Punch" this weekend.
