Updates From The Set Of The Punisher Sequel
Meanwhile, somewhere in Canada, director Lexi Alexander took time off from her busy schedule to give an update to fans on the progression of The Punisher: War Zone (due to his theaters in September). I've been following the development of this film with some interest, as the director's cut of the 2004 version of The Punisher is a guilty pleasure of mine. However, based on Ms. Alexander's blog, it sounds like things are heading in the right direction and that this film with be much more true to its comic origins:
Tim Bradstreet was especially helpful to us during prep and we were lucky enough to get him on the phone a couple of times to pick his brain. So you can imagine how stoked I am to get Tim’s first reaction to what he had seen of the film so far. Here is an excerpt from his email: “I had an opportunity to see a ton of stills from the film and it looks sensational. The Jigsaw makeup is top. LOVED seeing Doug Hutchinson look like such a hard assed nut, and of course, Ray Stevenson looks AWESOME. They lit a lot of it like I light and [they] did a great job.”
Having looked at the pictures Alexander posted, I have to agree: Ray Stevenson (even though he no longer is wearing a toga and slaughtering Romans) does look fantastic as Frank Castle.

Even though I'm a Jane fan, I'll definitely give Stevenson a chance as Punisher. I'm looking forward to the movie because the first one was a nice change of pace from the X-men/Spiderman films.
