"I'm so stoked about it," the actress told E!  "I kept telling everyone, 'I want to do an action film.' But they were like, 'Maybe in a few years.' So I'm like, 'Ha, in your face. I am doing one now!"

She also discussed her career with the magazine InStyle UK,  in addition to appearing on its July 2009 cover, Hudgens said that despite all the difficulties of being in the entertainment industry, she wouldn't trade anything for it.

"All the rejection is tough and discouraging," she revealed.  "It's so dog-eat-dog, and who would want to subject their girl to that world?  But it was just something that I loved so much.  Man, I can't imagine myself away from the business."

Hudgens even reiterated her Jolie-metaphor for the magazine.  On being cast for Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch, she said: "It's totally my Angelina Jolie part.  People are either going to love me for doing it or hate me for doing it, but I'm very excited."

Though she rose to fame as a Disney star on High School Musical, Vanessa Hudgens knows she can never be separated from her music.  She'll next be seen on another tune-centric film titled Bandslam, which opens in theaters on August 14.

Hoping to leave her perky Gabriella Montez character behind, she will be portraying the brooding rocker Sa5m on the upcoming movie.  "It means a lot to me," she exclaimed.  "I get to play a different character who is a lot darker and very deadpan throughout the whole thing."
