Scoot McNairy will co-star in the pic, directed by Megan Griffiths.

Jamie Chung, who appears as Ed Helms’ fiancée in The Hangover Part II, has signed on to star in Eden, a gritty indie being directed by Megan Griffiths, who helmed Sundance flick The Off Hours.

Additionally, Scoot McNairy, who recently wrapped Cogan’s Trade with Brad Pitt, is in negotiations to star opposite Chung in the two-hander.

Eden, based on a true story, centers on a young Korean-American girl who is abducted and forced into prostitution by domestic human traffickers. Throughout the two years she is held, she ensures her own survival by carving out power and influence within the very organization that has imprisoned her.

Richard B. Phillips and Megan Griffiths wrote the script based on a story by Phillips and Chong Kim.

Colin Harper Plank and Jacob Mosler are producing via Plank’s Centripetal Films, which secured independent financing. A shoot in Seattle and eastern Washington in August is being planned.

Chung is currently shooting Knife Fight opposite Rob Lowe. She has Columbia’s Premium Rush, a thiller in which he appears opposite Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Michael Shannon, in the can, as well as Man with the Iron First. She is repped by Gersh, 3 Arts, and attorney Todd Rubenstein.

McNairy, repped by ICM and Group Management, worked with Griffiths in Off Hours. His career has been heating up since he toplined the sci-fi indie flick Monsters, which was a jumping point for nabbing a role in Cogan’sTrade. That project reunites Pitt and his Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford director Andrew Dominik.

LOS ANGELES — Depending on who you talk to, Sucker Punch is:

a) An empowering feminist manifesto that subverts its fanboy fantasy framing.

b) Exploitative trash that doesn’t have a brain in its pretty tiny head as it teeters around CG explosions in hooker heels.

c) Both. But seriously, dude, don’t overthink it.

Whichever you choose, there’s no doubt the movie, now in theatres, proved a walk — or strut — on the weird side for its wild girls.

“I had no idea what to expect,” says Jena Malone of the training she underwent to play mouthy, munitions-prone Rocket. “I’d never stepped in a gym before in my entire life.”

How quickly things change when you sign on for a women-in-prison flick for the God of War crowd.

“I was nervous,” Malone remembers. “I didn’t even know what to wear (to work out), really. I walked out crying. I thought, ‘Oh my God, I don’t think I can do this at all.’ Then three weeks in, I started to gain 10 pounds of muscle and was completely addicted.”

Indeed, after training with the same folks who hammered the Spartans of 300 into fighting form, Malone and her fellow vixens were promptly throwing punches, swinging swords and wielding machine guns.

“It was rigorous but completely exciting,” Malone says. “You’re blind from sweating so much.”

Even Hudgens, who has a dance background, was left, as the movie’s tagline declares, unprepared.

“The second morning I woke up in Vancouver after working out, I was almost unable to walk, I was so sore. I’ve never experienced that kind of pain physically before in my life. But I showed up (on set) and the girls were there and they kept me going.”

Directed by mayhem maestro Zack Snyder, Sucker Punch stars Emily Browning as Babydoll, a psychiatric patient in a 1960s institution who, in order to escape a lobotomy, retreats into a fantasy realm where she battles zombies, dragons, monsters and robots. She’s joined by four other stripper ninjas: Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish), Amber (Jamie Chung) and Rocket (Malone).

“Abbie and Emily and I did a month (of training) in L.A., a month in Vancouver and then (Hudgens and Chung) came in to join us for the third month,” Malone says. “So they did six months total and we did eight months total.”

Which isn’t to suggest the cast performed the stunts themselves.

“It’s strange a lot of actors are like ‘I do my own stunts.’ It takes years and years to train your body to do some of these stunts,” Malone says. “For me to walk in with some sort of presumption that in three months I’ll be able to learn what it’s taken someone a lifetime to master is just completely ridiculous. But they give you physical strength to endure shooting these sequences for 16-hour days, but it gives you a physical embodiment of the character. It’s not just generic action.”

However Sucker Punch is ultimately received, its characters are likely to be remembered alongside other famously fierce film femmes.

Which ones do they admire most? “Angelina Jolie, Sigourney Weaver, Uma Thurman in Kill Bill,” Hudgens says. “They were really strong women.”

“Sarah Polley in Dawn of the Dead,” Malone says, referring to Snyder’s 2004 remake. “I remember seeing that and thinking, ‘That is someone I’ve never seen; that is awesome.’ She’s this nurse who’s really tired and then totally kicks ass and makes the right decisions in the right moments.”

DVD to feature sexy scrapped scenes

Emily Browning’s sex scene with Jon Hamm isn’t the only sequence that got the hook in Sucker Punch.

So did the dance numbers its courtesans originally performed.

“We all worked really hard on these dances we had to do,” says Jena Malone. “They were very fulfilling and it was beautiful to step out of this very male-driven gym.”

What were the sequences like?

Malone describes her’s as a “sci-fi nurse zombie pole dance. I started up inside of a giant syringe and worked my way down the needle and then did a little jig.”

Jamie Chung, who plays mechanically inclined Amber, says she was “a bedazzled French maid.” And Vanessa Hudgens describes hers as “a belly dance. I got to dance with a knife. It was a spectacular Moroccan set.”

Still, while they’re disappointed the scenes didn’t make it to the big screen, audiences will eventually get to see them. “They will,” says Malone, “(on) the director’s cut (of the DVD).”

Presumably the same will be true of Browning’s love scene with Hamm, which was axed to secure a PG-13 rating in the U.S.
