Looking forward to this very much. I just got the teaser poster last night. Its glossy! I am a huge punisher fan going back to the limited series by Zeck. No other character has fans as rabid as he has and no other character has as extreme non-fans. Seems like you either like him a lot or hate him with your whole soul.

Big fan since I was in High School. The movies haven't done him justice so far, but I love the character so much I still watch them. The only fear I have is that Thomas Jane, who became a big fan himself, dropped out because he didn't like the direction the new movie was going. That's not a good sign.

Agreed. Jane is missed. But who knows, maybe this can be good. I'll see it no matter what at least twice in the theaters.

"Scare" isn't really the right word, how about "worried?" It's because Jane came to really understand the character and remained a fan long after filming was over. He even wrote a few of the Marvel Comics. If he left because he felt the movie wasn't worthy of the Punisher, then there's a good chance he's right.
Of course, you are correct in that he could be wrong. It could have been personal bias and the movie will be great. I'm watching it either way.

By all accounts, it's Jane's vision that was the problem. I loved his protrayal of Frank, but he wanted to turn him into, in his words, Travis Bickel. Which is not exactly what Frank is about. Also the script that he wanted to do with the director of the first movie was pretty horrible sounding (the final battle taking place inside a Wal-Mart???)
Based on all the interviews from people involved with the movie, the word "MAX" (as in the comic) gets brought up everytime. So I think that can be a very good thing. Also, to date, Jane has not written any of the Punisher comics (or Marvel comics for that matter). |

I'm kind of feeling the way that Roland does on this one. I read the Aintitcool article a few months back where Jane explained himself, and after reading it, I also felt a bit worried. Jane came off as a serious fan, and someone who left for right reasons:
Just found it: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/32673 Of course, you guys are right in that his opinion may diverge from any of our own, BUT he sounds to me like a fairly like-minded person (look at the movies he lists!), and most importantly, someone with a sincere appreciation for the character who left the movie because the studio wasn't treating the character the right way. Having said that, Iron Man and the early word on Hulk makes me want to give Marvel the benefit of the doubt. . .but then again, this one will be co-produced by Lionsgate. . . --edit: I like the idea of Punisher as Travis Bickel. Though Frank Castle may be a tad more of a sadistic fuck, they are both way, way off the deep end, in a good way .-- Last edited by karamazov80; 06-06-2008 at 01:06 PM.. |
