Wheres the new Punisher trailer?

[daTOAD]

Huge Punisher fan here. Loved every version i saw on screen[ though i no they were not perfect, just a chance to see Frank on screen makes me happy]. My problem is why arent they promoting the hell out this. The studio is probably saving the trailer for Comicon, but i need a teaser or something.

[Jiu-Jitsu-Dragon]

Also a big Punisher guy. Im sweating to see something too.

If you haven't already seen it, the teaser to Punisher: War Zone is on Youtube o or was, unless it's been pulled!! :)

[daTOAD]

Thank you, will go there now.

[daTOAD]

Thanks Karlos. The interweb is a beautiful thing, ask for it and it appears. Love this character[ sort of Marvels answer to Batman-the movies always come out in the same year since 89-hmmm]. Am kinda dissapointed they seem to have taken the John Woo route instead of Johnnie To, but ill still be in line.

[Karlos]

My pleasure, DaToad!

I was - and still am - a huge fan of ol' Franky boy, too!

I collected the original comics run from '87 which I still have and they're still a great read.

Dolph's movie version is really under-rated, I think, and whilst I was disappointed with the recent Thomas Jane offering, I think this new one looks pretty cool!

i'm sure i saw t.j. storm in the trailer i saw which is a plus

War Zone will have to be better than the earlier two Punisher movies. A big shame if it isn't.

and whilst I was disappointed with the recent Thomas Jane offering, I think this new one looks pretty cool!

I'm with you there. The new one looks like he could have at least a little bit of Punisher in him. I didn't see any Punisher whatsover in Thomas Jane.

[daTOAD]

I too feel Dolph's Punisher is underrated. I was introduced to Frank Thru The classic Mini Series in the 80s[Best covers]. Unfortunately i sold them a couple of years later thinking i would be able to get them again-one of the worst mistakes ever.

DaToad, a new 2 mins long red band trailer for War Zone is up on Youtube and IGN.com - looks good, although the story that the director has been fired doesn't bode well.

The 80's mini, Circle of Blood, has just been re-released as a really nice hardcover - I love that mini as well, apart from the 5th issue that was tacked on.

Keep your eye out for a War Zone 6 part weekly comic by Ennis and Dillon, to tie in with the film's release, too!!

[daTOAD]

Thanks. i just heard about Lexi- what the F***? Just saw the red band trailer[which is much better than the first one i saw], and am a liitle more excited. Looks to be as violent as the new Rambo was-YES!

[The Running Man]

Just saw the red band trailer and wow...this might actually be the first good Punisher movie. I guess third time is a charm.

And also a big middle finger to any of those that thought that women can never have the balls that a man would (this new Punisher movie is directed by a female director). Right on. :D

Truly looking forward to this one now.

[The Running Man]

Or maybe the third time won't be a charm.

It seems that there is a fued between Lionsgate and director Lexi Alexander on the film, with her possibly being axed from post-production. :(

Circle of Blood is awesome. pretty much the best Punisher story out there, and TBH they should use that story as the premise for a movie. Busting out of jail, copycats, a war on the complete crimeworld, etc etc. Plus it has anioce message and it shows both sides of The Punisher: the bad-ass, as well as the fact that underneath it all, he still has limits that he will not cross.

I know Welcome Back Frank was received pretty positively, but I never read it as the horrible artwork turned me off...

[Karlos]

For me, the perfect Punisher stories are Circle of Blood and the early monthly issues by Mike Baron, Klaus Janson and Whilce Portacio (whose art in those days was phenomenal - shame he only drew 10 or so issues).

Just the right amount of black humour, ultra violence and great characterisation.

However, after issue #50 or so it began to become a self-parody, I thought - remember the "Back To School" special from 1990? Grisly!

I normally love Steve Dillon's art - being a Brit I kinda grew up with it in the weekly comic 2000ad - but not on Punisher!!

:)

[daTOAD]

So what are the essentials? The 80s mini series molded my thoughts of the Punisher and i like the Ennis ,though only have a few issues. BTW in the trailer when Ray Stevenson says " Id like to get my hands on god." -priceless. That was Frank friggin Castle.

[Karlos]

DaToad, you gotta get this...!

Good looking out Karlos.

i hear now the new Punisher movie has been dropped to a PG-13 instead of a hard R.

That doesn't sound good.
