IGN has Punisher 2 plot details

[Costa]

Will the Battle Van be in the movie? I hope so.

 

[Advanced Dark]

^ The War Wagon was NOT in the scripts before Marcum and Holloway took it so maybe it's been put in. Things have changed quite a bit actually since then so who knows.

 

[Brendan]

so maybe it's been put in.

Please don't say that.

 

[Advanced Dark]

^ I'm not saying anything. It's a "maybe" because I don't know and neither does anyone else since Marcum and Holloways' script details haven't included it so far.

 

[Brendan]

I know, but just the mere mention or thought of anything close to Micro or a high tech battle van being in a movie brings chills down my spine.

 

[Advanced Dark]

^ In a good way or bad way?

 

[Brendan]

Not a good way. Unless its an onscreen adaptation of In The Beginning.

I remember a year or two ago someone here came up with a really good casting idea for Microchip. I can't remember the name of the guy though. He'd probably make a good supporting character for a TV series if they reinvisioned him, but for some reason he and anything that relates to him smells of disaster if they put him in a movie. Mostly because it would feel like the attention would be focusing away from Frank.

As for a battle van, how bout just a regular van with some guns stored in the back?

 

[Advanced Dark]

I actually hope they make 3 Punisher films with Ray and spin it off into an ongoing series like the Soprano's on HBO.

It seems more possible now than it did before since we have a HBO TV actor as the lead role.

 

[Advanced Dark]

Hell they could make it a Jigsaw series and show it from the villains perspective. A kingpin series would be cool too.

 

[frank the tank]

this sounds really good needed a change anyway im excited bowt jigsaw when they gona cast!!!! and not vince vaugn he ugly

 

[Sebastos]

Gerald Butler would be my choice for Jigsaw.

And the title of the movie is perfect.

 

[Mr. Sinister05]

I'm not too into the series ideas until this movie comes out and we all are able to determine for ourselves whether it's good or not. All the negative points that I made earlier I was just havin fun with but I think they're all good points especially if they're trying to make it a representation of the max title.
However, the new name "Welcome back Frank" makes it seem even more obvious that the filmmakers are going for a mishmash of Ennis's earlier Punisher series (before the max) along with some of the earlier Marvel based Punisher comics. This isn't surprising since pretty much every Superhero movie is based off of taking the comics from different periods and throwing them in a blender. While this could definitely work, I'm hoping they're able to pull off the character as portrayed in the Max comics.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Sounds okay to me, hopefully it's better than those first two movies.

 

[Costa]

The Battle Van might be too early to use in the film. Maybe on part 3 or 4 it will be in it.

 

[Neo_aa]

Man... it's like 2 finally just became a reality, I'm not sure I can see it getting even one more sequel. Don't get me wrong, I'm hopeful for it, but it's a very big "if" at this point.

 

[X-Punisher]

he looks a little bit like tom jane on that pic.. the eyes and the nose...

i think the 2 or 3 days beard could work.. a different hairstyle and maybe some scar on the face and set the story of the movie several years later the other one and maybe it could justify the difference between the two guys.
i hope they don't change the skull though...

The eyes and the nose or in the movie biz "the triagular section" is the only the part of the face that matters when re-casting someone, so it doesn't ruin the illussion of the franchise. I only hope that Ray can play off an american accent that is similar to Jane's voice. If he does I'm hooked.

 

[dsarrio]

it's sound they changed names of the characters but not the stoyline. I wonder if it will be enough to get a better script...or exactly a right punisher script.

In fact,I was in competition to direct “The Punisher 2” for Lion’s Gate (I have a representative in LA ) and I read the script “Punisher 2” written by Nick Santora (Prison Break) and cleaned up by Kurt Suttertwo month ago…

In order to get a chance I produced and directed a teaser about my vision of this character.

[Brendan]

So YOU'RE the guy who did that teaser. Nice job!

Where do you get the money and resources to do projects like that? I ask because I'm actually interested in getting into filmmaking myself.

Very nice.

 

[ObakeTora]

Once again, I'm let down. First of all we don't Jigsaw, he is the most popular character, but not the best, if he were the best why do writers feel they have to re write him. He's only the most popular because he's the only well known survivor of The Punisher.

You know if they are going to title this movie "Welcome Back Frank" why can't they just use the source material? Why do these got dangit writers have to include over the top plots and added material which has nothing to do with the source material we all know and love? WHY?? These writers suck, and Garth I feel could do a better job as a screenwriter. I don't want people to think Castle is some Rambo rip-off!!!

GIVE US THE TRUE "WBF!"

GIVE US A TRUE BORN SEQUEL!!

Garth if your reading this, Im sorry your brainchild is going to be butchered yet again....




****, what the hell does it take for you got dangit producers to "get it?"

Damn. When will screenwriters get a clue on what will/will not work. Have they not learned their mistakes from the 1st movie at all?

Ok, I'm gonna have a bit of fun here and ***** about the plot details...

1) Throught the Max title, it seems they've kind of drawn the Punisher away from the Superhero world. Therefore, why do the screenwriters still figure that they need to create some huge diabolical plot that the Punisher needs to stop? I've read all the comics in the Max title and can safely say that the character is a loner and has his own agenda about what to get involved in. That's part of the fun of reading the character is you don't know what kind of **** he's going to start up next. He tracks people down that he doesn't like and kills them. Simple as that. By tying the Punisher into a big diabolical plot, that gives the movie more of a linear course towards how things are going to be resolved at the end. Plus, it offers the oppurtunity for him and the cops to be going after/doing the same thing which I don't like at all.



HELL YEA!


2) The comics always draw out the Police force as being somewhat reluctant to acknowledge or go after the Punisher since on the inside they kind of feel that what he's doing is right and makes their job easier even though they won't admit it. I wonder if Ennis puts abit of tongue in cheek humor into this portrayal since lets face it, what does this say about the character of the police officers? Also, if there was a mass murderer running around killing as many people as the Punisher does in the Max series, there would be a big public outcry. Don't really see how this portrayal really goes with a serious take on the Punisher minus the black humor.

I COULDNT HAVE SAID IT BETTER!



3) Heh. "Special" FBI Agent Luke McDonald and a tubby sidekick?

4) The FBI agent's main reason for going after the Punisher? Cause his partner was accidentally killed. Well come on, guess Frank Castle being a self-riteous stone cold mass murderering force to be reckoned with isn't enough? Throwing an obvious contrived reason out there robs the film of its impact.

5) Dante being Castles allie? From reading the Max Books it's pretty easy to see that Frank would want to kill someone even if they were an excon or gangbanger "just in case" (as he says in 1 of the comics). Besides, he hates anyone whose ever been associated with crime whatsoever. Once you cross that line even once, as Frank says "In the Beginning", you'd better "run".


Yes, even though in PWJ#11 (vol#1) he gave the former associate of Damage another chance, you are right, you better run. What the Hell does Castle need from a loser gangbanging idiot anyway?



6) Geez, the screenwriters gotta tie up everything with a bow by also having Jigsaw go after not just anyone but the wife of Donatelli. Hence, both the cops AND the Punisher arrive at the scene.

I'm sorry to say that this may need to go back to the drawing board.

I'm sorry to say that you speak the truth.

rewrite!!!!

 

[Brendan]

Jigsaw is still a great character and is pretty much the only villian in Punisher's rogue gallery, or at least the most interesting.

Ennis doesn't own the character. In fact I really hope Ennis uses Jigsaw one day and it does seem likely since the story arc he was rumored to do with John Romita Jr. is suppose to feature a classic character.

 

[Advanced Dark]

Oh hell guys I forgot I did learn one thing at the con that looks like it might be coming true...Chuck Lidell. I can't believe I forgot that. He's not only up for Jigsaw's brother but he's likely got it now. I can't believe I forgot though after the Con each night I visited every bar in the Gaslamp District.

Have a little faith. The source material has already been used, and that was in Jane's Punisher. Welcome Back Frank is already done. And plus, "Welcome Back Frank" is said to be a working title. For all we know, the title could be something different. Lets not start being doubtful or anything, lets wait for more on the film.

Well aren't you a good source, thanks for the info.
