Punisher 2 Title Revealed
And it's straight out of the comics.
by Stax

August 28, 2007 - The official publicity site for Lionsgate Films has revealed that the title for the Punisher sequel will be Punisher: War Zone. No release date for the Lexi Alexander-directed sequel was given; the film is only listed as "coming soon."

Earlier reports had pegged The Punisher 2 as being called The Punisher: Welcome Back, Frank. The Punisher: War Zone was also the name of a Marvel comic book series that ran from 1992-95, as well as the title for a previous film sequel screenplay penned by Jonathan Hensleigh, who also directed the 2004 Punisher film.

Ray Stevenson stars as Frank Castle in this film, succeeding Thomas Jane in the role. The screenplay was written by Nick Santora, Kurt Sutter, Matt Holloway and Art Marcum. Filming begins this fall in Montreal for a release sometime in 2008.

Maybe some mod could rename the forum??

I was happy w/welcome back frank but this is fine. I actually wouldn't mine a Max title or logo attached to this to separate it even more from the last film.

Thank God

Nice. It actually sounds like a theatrical movie title now.

The Punisher fans have spoken and we're being heard, awesome.

 

[Sebastos]

Good news, now all we need is the forum name to change.

 

[FireandIce213]

yea i voted for punisher: war zone in punisher 04's poll...but now come to think of it a max punisher title wouldve been kool especially since it seems that might be the direction most fans want to go and ray stevenson looks so much like the punisher we see in that series anyway.

 

[citizenpain]

nice! i didn't have a problem with the welcome back frank title, but war zone is definitely a much better choice.

 

[jrd550]

Like the title!!! Do you know what else those writers have written before?

 

[The Lumberjack]

Punisher: War Zone. Hmmm....




Oo-rah, marine. That just made my dick move.

Very glad to hear this!! They have to be reading these boards!! They have to! There was a lot of criticism going on for "Welcome Back Frank" on these boards. That was the title to the book the '04 movie was based on. To name the new movie that made no sense. Now, this new film may not be based on the War Zone book, but it is a MUCH, MUCH better choice in my opinion and the one I was championing for.

 

[Mauser9910]

It was obvious they'd change the working title for War Zone.
Someone will have to change the name of the forums, tee-hee...

 

[cthulhu]

I like it - the more I hear the more I hope this film will kick some ass. t:

 

[antsiou]

Just beat me to it.

And yet, you just got the nice credit on the homepage

 

[JTStarkiller]

I was kinda hoping for The Goddamn Punisher.

 

[Spider–Man]

Maybe some mod could rename the forum??

What I was thinkin'.

 

[TripXyDE]

but i loved "THE PUNISHER: WELCOME BACK, FRANK"

too bad

it's not cliché

 

[ElToro]

Yes!!!I perfer War Zone.
I was in IGN.com and i read that it was going to be called The Punisher War Zone.

 

[Lobo]

I like the War Zone title more than Welcome back Frank
