Ray Stevenson, Lexi Alexander and stuntman Jeff Wolf
If you can believe it, the next Punisher film may be better than the previous one, and it’s directed by a girl.
Ok… a woman. Ok, ok… a hot-looking woman.
On her personal blog, director Lexi Alexander gave a brief update on the status of Punisher: Warzone (aka Punisher 2 although it’s the third Punisher movie). Among her comments was this one in reply to Ray asking how much the studio wanted to cut the movie:

“Well, thank God it went well and, although I’ll probably have to compromise on a few minor notes, it’s not nearly as bad as some of my filmmaker friends predicted it would be. I guess I got away with an actual okay studio experience (knocking on wood since it’s not quite over yet).”
The release date has also been pushed back to December 5th from it’s previous September 12th date. Lexi was told this was a good thing, since for some reason violent movies do well in December. Go figure.
For more details including some colorful metaphors, head on over to her blog below.
I don’t know why, but I’ve good a good gut feeling about this one…

Colorful metaphors, as per Spock in The Voyage Home. Got a good laugh out of that one.
I really enjoyed Thomas Jane’s performance as the Punisher , but I felt that the plot was not as strong as Jane’s performance.
and don’t F*&cking get me started about Dolph’s disaster.
I’m hoping for a much better storyline this time around and I’m very excited to see Ray Stevenson’s version of The Punisher.
Ray was AWESOME as Titus on HBO’s Rome.
I think Lexi is a good director ; so I feel all of this bodes well for the return of The Punisher !!!

I can’t say I’m a big fan of this kind of “comic book anti-hero”. At the end of the day its usually a big helping of graphic voilent revenge. And that means I have had to sit thru scenes of graphic violence against innocents.
I get enough of that at starbucks.
Outside of the casting (Thomas Jane’s leaving aside), I haven’t heard or seen anything too good about this one. The photos that have been released have been pretty bland I guess would be the word.
Plus word was the script was pretty bad, and rewrites didn’t add much to fixing it. Finally throw in the fact that I thought Alexander’s last movie wasn’t all that good. Does not bode well for me.
Ok, i’ve tried to resist this.
Is it just me or does Jeff Wold look REALLY damn creepy!? almost freekin scary!

Actually he looks like a crack-up, always making jokes.

has anbody else here seen Rome ?
cuz I think Ray Stevenson is the guy on the right with the crazy grin.
I think the stunt guy is the one wearing the skull shirt.
what do you guys think?
They should just give up on this character, the films stink big time! this new one will as well!
thank god for Dirty Harry!
