Updated from the classic fairytale story that everyone knows and loves, Sleeping Beauty has been remade and given a considerably darker twist than the popular Disney version, in the Julia Leigh update that replaces the classic princess with a university student named Lucy; who finds herself receiving the affections of many adoring, and paying, men.
Sucker Punch star Emily Browning stars as Lucy, in the haunting erotic fairytale about the student who drifts into a high-class prostitution ring, and finds herself a niche as a woman who sleeps, drugged, in a ‘Sleeping Beauty chamber’ while men do to her what she can’t remember the next morning.”
After once being placed on the Hollywood Black List (listing the best unproduced screenplays in the business) and having Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland) attached to star, Sleeping Beauty has finally finished production, will be released later this year, and has just had its first trailer released online (now available to view below).
