Sorry if this has been discussed -- I couldn't find it.
Has anyone heard any buzz on the upcoming sequel Punisher: War Zone? New director, new actor playing Frank Castle. Sounds like it's based on the original Garth Ennis story.
I've still not seen the original (which, by the way, when I do: theatrical or extended?), but I'm mildly interested in doing so, as I'm generally a sucker for comic book movies. Any word on this sequel?

The Extended version is a mild improvement over the theatrical, but mainly fleshes out a couple supporting characters, so it doesn't add that much, though it reveals who was responsible for informing the Saints' about who Castle was, which leads to a rather good scene. However, there could be a sense of a slight drop in pacing due to the added footage.
It's a shame Thomas Jane had to leave the sequel due to creative differences- he really was hardcore involved with the character.

I wonder if they'll be filming in Tampa again. I'd love to be an extra.

Pretty certain they're moving it to New York or another more grittier environment.

Ever since Thomas Jane left the project, this movie has had Direct-to-Video written all over it. And in a year with Batman, Iron Man, Hulk, Hellboy, Indy, and Speed, I doubt it will do well in the box office.

How can you put speed racer in that group ? it looks like the power rangers on acid. The only good thing about the movie is Christina Ricci.
Hopefully that's what your reffering to anyways

Bump- thought we had another thread from when the first teaser trailer went up around Iron Man or Hulk's release, but oh well. IGN has the ComicCon promo footage up
Nice and violent. Anyone know the song used in that? The soundtrack for the first movie was one of the better ones I've ever heard, and this would fit at home nicely on that.

The bad gets worse: The movie will be rated PG-13 instead of R to attract a broader audience; Director Lexi Alexander, who wanted more violence, apparently was fired.

Ah. That's not good... I wonder if we'll get any SHIELD references, however, as all Marvel films seem to be wandering that way.

Nah. The Punisher movies aren't "in-house" productions; they're not part of the shared universe that the Avengers films are in.

That sucks- the extra violence and action was about the only thing the movie had going for it after Thomas Jane left.

Well that's good news...I guess. I'm still very apprehensive about this movie. I really enjoyed Thomas Jane in the last one. However, from what I've seen of the trailer, Ray Stevenson seems to channel Garth Ennis' Punisher more. Which is a very good thing.

The trailer looked kind of silly to me. Didn't really seem very menacing, looked more... silly.
Hopefully, I'm wrong. I wants me a good bloody nasty Punisher movie.
