Well now know for sure that he wrote the script. So, does this mean Stuart Beattie was never really involved with the script or did the two work together?

 

[Advanced Dark]

^ LOTN,

Rumor was Beattie only got 5 or so pages into his script and left the project. Whether he left on his own or was asked to leave is unknown to me.

 

[SWAT]

Good job AD!!

 

[Advanced Dark]

As usual I directed him to this thread as an invite.

Alright thanks. Haven't really been keeping up with all the news on this movie lately.

 

[Sun_Down]

Cool, thanks AD

 

[Kable24]

Now that's the news I like to read. Way to go AD

 

[ObakeTora]

awe! So Stuart beattie jumped ship? Oh well, thanks for the news AD! You are the fing man!!!!

 

[Advanced Dark]

I have a feeling we'll be hearing alot more soon.

Especially with Tom Jane meeting w/LGF supposedly this past Monday. I think Tom is probably just as fed up as the fans about this project and I think things are beginning to iron out. I'm still betting this comes out in 2008.

Thanks for the update AD. keep pulling those strings man...

 

[Advanced Dark]

Yank!!!

 

[Retroman]

Awesome scoop AD!

So Stuart Beattie bailed on Punisher?

 

[Advanced Dark]

Sorry for the lapse...yeah I guess he bailed. Now it's a waiting game...

 

[frank the tank]

yet another waiting game, but zorro didnt get a sequel till like 7 years later so who knows.....

 

[Colossus24]

I just read in espn the magazine that Chuck Liddell (the UFC light heavyweight champion) wants to be or is involved with "Punisher II"

 

[Advanced Dark]

I could see Chuck as a 2nd tier henchman in this film but not as any lead.

 

[FireandIce213]

Chuck Liddell in Punisher 2, OMG that would be so badass...I would like to see him as a henchmen who fights Frank, in a real brutal one on one fight.

 

[Colossus24]

"I'm interested in Hollywood," he says. "I'm trying to do Punisher II. I may get to play the villain's crazy brother. I'll probably start taking acting classes." --Chuck Liddell

 

[Punisher 04]

"I'm interested in Hollywood," he says. "I'm trying to do Punisher II. I may get to play the villain's crazy brother. I'll probably start taking acting classes." --Chuck Liddell

Nice find, that probably means they are starting to cast for the movie and they're going with Kurt's script!

 

[Costa]

Is he going to play one of the Costa Brothers from The Costa Familly? He kind of resembles them. Maybe face wise. Body wise a question.

 

[The NZ Natural]

If Chuck ended up as a henchman or bodyguard type character, that would open up the door for a fantastic fight sequence, something I've been wanting to see in these movies for a damn long time. I was ecstatic when not a single jumping back kick was thrown in the first film . . . if Chuck lands a gig on this, could it be the second time a triangle choke has ever been used to finish a bad guy in an action movie (see: Lethal Weapon)?

That would be nine different kinds of awesome.

 

[dude stannis]

To be fair Frank did try a Triangle Choke on the Russian, but opted for the hot soup.

Ha! Yeah, you could look at it that way - I always thought he was just using the knee for separation, but if he was pretty flexible, the triangle could've gone on from there. Good point, dl!
