never saw the last one, this one looks better

hard to be hyped, the director got fired for refusing to compromise on music and some content, which means what will be released will be watered down to be kid friendly and full of Disturbed

shame, Titus Pullo looks like a good fit for the role

^^ Is this not rated R?

I can live with a wack soundtrack but not some campy shit like the last one. Are you certain they'll take it in that direction?

drizzle · Post by **drizzle** » Thu Sep 11, 2008 2:02 pm

well, nothing is certain but the thing about Lexi Alexander getting pwned by studio suits on his own set is factual

StormShadow · Post by **StormShadow** » Thu Sep 11, 2008 3:37 pm

Lexi is a chick actually and I highly doubt the studio would have released the hard R trailer if they were planning on watering it down

I'll eat my hat if this isn't a hard R

music will undoubtedly suck though

fuck the world, last punisher movie was borderline great

It had John Travolta playing a Cuban crime lord, that is fucking inspired casting.

drizzle · Post by **drizzle** » Thu Sep 11, 2008 3:45 pm

oh yeah, that is a chick isn't it

anywho, what leaked was comicon footage, not a trailer

here's the thing from AICN

"How can I say that? Well when I posted that Comic Con footage with the shitty music and terrible scratches (that otherwise rocked) - a source of mine that I've been in contact for years inside Lionsgate contacted me out of sheer frustration, whom I'll call JIGSAW. It seems that after a summer, where we've had incredible success with Superhero properties that were treated with respect by filmmakers that were left to do their thing... that Lionsgate has turned a deaf ear to all of that.

Lexi Alexander has been kicked to the curb - part of that treatment was her "honeymoon" from Comic Con. However, there's more totally awesome wedding gifts that Lionsgate has given the blushing bride. She's off the movie and wrapped up in a non-disclosure clause - so we won't be hearing from her anytime soon, UNLESS THINGS CHANGE RADICALLY - but Lionsgate isn't necessarily known for calming down. They've decided to market it HARD CORE - and they've decided to jettison the composer for the film in lieu of loud thrashing metal, because nothing says PUNISHER like raspy amps.

The music choice is very much about producing a soundtrack that'll sell well, fuck whether or not it serves the film. Jigsaw also told me - that the film may survive the manhandling, but will not be the film that lovers of Garth Ennis and Tim Bradstreet are hoping for. Expect an erratic head pounding METAL show."

ah, i know i'll watch it regardless; only very few comic book movies i skip out on seeing. the first punisher was dope; espeically with the fight scene with the Russian.

i hated the first punisher.

a few people swear by it though (on here and people i know)

we're looking at this differently I guess

the comicon footage IS a trailer, it's a trailer that premiered there

it's got Lionsgate's imprimatur on it plus marvel plus all the other hallmarks of a real trailer

it's not workprint footage or anything like that

however whether or not lionsgate cuts a bunch of shit out or what, I can't say but I would bet money that it's going to be plenty violent

I read that AICN thing back when curb talked about all this the first time and I don't doubt the music will suck, but I doubt the movie as a whole will be neutered

drizzle · Post by **drizzle** » Thu Sep 11, 2008 4:46 pm

you're right, we can only wait and see anyway

i am still hyped for Titus Pullo as punisher though, no denying that

The redband trailer from ComicCon is so fucking bad ass. This movie, if released in the proper form, will be seriously amazing.

My sentiments.

The 1989 with Doplh Lundgren is worth a watch though, and much better than the 2004-

Going to get all film nerd here, but there's a Dutch print out there of Dolph's The Punisher that's supposedly improves the film.

I had the opportunity to cop it back in my Psychotronik Video haunting days but bought something else. Never saw it ever again. Gutted.

HopeLess · Post by **HopeLess** » Fri Dec 05, 2008 11:50 pm

So who's seen it? I had to work Today...But I am catching it tomorrow...Pretty hyped...Loved the 2004 version, and think this could be great.

Ebert is saying that it could be the "best made bad film ever"
The whole thing about the music sucks, but I think as long as it's gory, action pack and Titus delivers a good Frank I will be satisfied.

co-signed to the fullest.

I actually was at the set of the Stallone movie and I already was able to tell it was going to be a disaster.

Rebellion, who hold the rights have been saying over the last few years that they are planning to get at least two Dredd movies off the ground.

Since I'm perhaps the biggest Dredd geek, here's a model I made a couple of months back of Old Stoney Face himself. He better look like that and not that whole Vercace style.

Shitty vinyl kit I copped off ebay that I bought for about $16.

Built it, modified it and then painted it up.

"Wrong...WRONG!!!"{/Charlie Murphy}

Shit was one of the best times I have had in a theater, beating out me gettin beat off in the 2nd row when I was 13

Whole theater was packed at midnight with everyone seemingly as drunk as me, laughing in unison, ooohing and ahhhing at the gore and clapping(I dont do that tho,lol)

Shit was right out the gates bloody, gore filled, classic kills, just classic, get the big popcorn and large white cherry slushy and enjoy

Only gripe couldve been bout 15-20 minutes shorter but it was all good

I will be coppin this dvd day of
