I cant seem to view the trailer, computers fucked again. Who is playing Frank Castle anyone know? Written and directed by whom? Garth Ennis is an excellent writer for this character(if your into comic books) He also did a Hulk special comic that was good, it has the Hulk throwing a tank just like in the movie, he also did a post apocalyptic comic called Just a Pilgrim which was good and then he did this little comic book series called Preacher. That would make one hell of a mini-series.

Frank will be played by Thomas Jane of Dreamcatcher fame and Travolta will play the villain. Not familiar with the director as this is his first film.

Who exactly is the "villain" ? A character made up for the movie?

yea who is the villain. i like marvel comics but have only read a little bit of the punisher. i like fantastic four (if you haven't seen their movie you should consider yourself lucky) spider man, x-men, the new hawk eye series is shaping up ok, avengers are cool too.

i think that kevin smith should have wrote the daredevil movie it probably would have been better.

Re: THE PUNISHER
 

Dmihatmttl, a friend of mine just told me that the film will be based on the Welcome Home Frank books.

youre goddamned right Dolph fucking rules. I was dissapointed to hear he wasnt gunna be in the new one.
My only beef is this, this movie better be violent as hell. This isnt spiderman, and it isnt x-men. This is frank castle the punisher who kills mutherfuckers. thats his gig. thats what he does. he kills people with guns and knives and grenades and shit. If this movie goes all "Spider-Man" on me Im going to lose it. I want to see motherfuckers get shot. I want zero remorse. I want to see him standing over their bloodied corpses smoking a cigarette, saying some metal as balls one liner, flicking the butt onto them and walking off into the shadows. In my eyes, the punisher is one of the last bad asses left.

sadley im willing to bet my balls that itl be verry child friendley so to speak, i mean shit... have you seen any non horror movies being released lateley that uses the kind of violence wed all know the punisher would use? all movies are being aimed at kids these days...

Im with moon on this one, if hollywood is makin it, you better believe they're gonna water it down to make the most possible money from the biggest possible audiance. A marvel film rated R? lol.

thats exactley what the problem with todays movies are, they are watered down to minnimum just to make more money, i mean even horror movies have an age limit 15 these days...that aint right, it should be messy.

It'll probably be worse than The Hulk...
