RETURN FROM THE WARZONE (12/27/07)

All right, people. Its done. Well, except one exterior scene that we couldnt shoot because of the snowstorm, which we will have to shoot in the near future.

Im sorry I havent been blogging, but trust me when I tell you, every spare minute I had outside of work was used to catch as much sleep as possible. 40 nights of shooting in the freezing cold. Im surprised my cast & crew showed up every single night. I was lucky. Everybody was great and really involved in the film.

There were a few surreal incidents that happened during the shoot. One was that for the first week of shooting, every time Ray Stevenson stepped in front of the camera, it started raining. It gave us all goose bumps because Ray portrayed Frank Castle with all his pain and history so well that the rain was perfect for the dark mood and feeling of those scenes. Im sure everybody will think I used rain machines, but cross my heart and hope to die, there were no rain machines.

The other even more bizarre incident was during a scene we call the Alley Fight. The location looked beautiful and pretty much everybody was mesmerized by the colors and lights we had chosen for it. It wasnt until the next day when we watched dailies in my trailer that we realized there was a huge lit-up skull -- identical to the Punisher skull -- glowing through the front door of a building in the background. I immediately complimented my DP and the key gaffer on the great idea, but they were as stunned as I was. Nobody had planned that. It just appeared.

Thats pretty much how the whole movie went for us and other than the two major snowstorms we had to endure, the movie Gods were clearly on our side. The cast was fantastic and they all exceeded my expectations. Ray was so intense and he really, really became the Punisher. Dominic made Jigsaw so much more than he was on the page. I finally got to work with Doug Hutchinson and boy oh boy, does he have some acting chops!

Colin Salmon and Dash Mihok were brilliant in their respective roles as Agent Paul Budiansky and Detective Martin Soap. They also received a huge standing ovation from the crew when they wrapped because of their constant professionalism and kindness to every member of the crew. Julie Benz as Angela Donattelli was amazing and she is one of the sweetest people I have ever met.

There are two actors I cast once I was on location whom I havent introduced. Im so glad they were available because they are both very, very special.

Marc Camacho as Pittsy and Keram Malicki-Sánchez as Pittsys son INK

I hope I get to work with them again.

In the new year I will get back into it with refueled energy and enthusiasm. No time to waste with a 12th of September release date. Stay tuned, Im sure more stories about the shoot will pop back into my head that Id like to share with you all.

Thank you for your support and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lexi

damn i didnt even know pittsy and ink were both gonna be in this, i thought it was just ink...i personally dont mind them making ink pittsy's son its just a minor detail for two relatively minor characters...O and the whole thing about that skull appearing during filming sounds pretty creepy.

Balthus Dire · Dec 29, 2007

...his son?

....weird.

Pittsy and Ink as father and son? I really hope they don't go into details with that.

Arsh · Dec 29, 2007

Well... it's already all but determined that they'll both be dead by the end anyway.

Glad to hear that everyone ran smooth.

I'm sure Ink being Pittsy's son will have little or no influence on anything in this movie. So why not.

Figs · Dec 30, 2007

Unless I misread that, why no love for Wayne Knight??

I want to chime in with my theory on electromagnetism but I wont for fear of being flamed. I wonder if the skull they mentioned was due to a punisher fan?? If so I wonder if that person is here on the boards.
