I already sent in my suggestions.

I emailed my support. Basically it wound up being a "In Jane I Trust" email. I like what Thomas Jane has said and I love that he's battling for a proper version of the character.

I hope Lionsgate wakes up and does this movie right. It has the potential to be a big hit. Marvel getting the rights back would just delay a sequel and probably mean no Thomas Jane.

Even if Sony were to acquire the rights, there's NO WAY Spider-Man will ever appear nor should ever appear in a film.

Here's what I sent

Who will star? Tom Jane as the Punisher, Cole Hauser as Jigsaw, John Billingsly as Micro in a cameo

What kind of film do you want ‘Punisher 2’ to be? I want it to be as violent as it possibly can be. On the verge of NC-17. I want a decent story with no love interest. Frank's only love is his family, so by putting in a woman for him, it defeits the purpose of what he does.
What directors would be perfect for ‘Punisher? I wouldn't mind Hensleigh coming back. Maybe even Tom Jane himself could direct. I also like Martin Campbell (Casino Royale), Michael Mann (Collateral), Zack Snyder (300), Robert Rodriguez (Desperado), Peter Berg (The Rundown).

Here's what I sent in summary:

Set in NY of course
Jigsaw: Vince Vaughn, Woody Harrelson, Matthew McCaunahey
Director: Wayne Kramer or I was fine w/Hensleigh
And trust Tom Jane. Must remain dark and more violent than first. More comedy = bad.
More interrogations of course.

My email summary-ish:
CQB? *****ing!
Jane= Awesome!
Cole Hauer= Jigsaw
McTiernan & Helgeland- Director choices.
Uncomprismising violence.

 

[darkseid26]

off subject and random, how about this punisher 3!

 

[Advanced Dark]

I had McTiernan down as a 2nd choice for Punisher director. I just thought of something a bit off the wall though. There is another director with ties to Lionsgate that might just work. I have to see how he handled Halloween though but the trailer looks awesome.

Yeah. Rob Zombie.

 

[frank the tank]

Set in NY wudnt care if they filmed it else were n looked good for budget purposes, im at uni studying media and have done many short films and understand problems anyway...

Jigsaw - cole hauser is cool, but would love armand assante

microchip i dunno bout him,apreist helping him salvation and all is a good idea, gives a secodary plot.
Better music score and theme from the game is ace, compared to the western style theme from the movie.

and i'd love to see a close violent knife fight with jig and pun maybe rippin sum stitches or leavin more scars.

 

[Advanced Dark]

Armand would have been good about 10-15 years ago no later than Judge Dredd. I loved his Gotti film. Cole could work I guess and wouldn't eat up the budget. However I still think they can get a bigger name to do a role like this to mix up their resume and not charge the studio a bundle. It's probably a pretty short shoot.

Regarding the pic above. Hell yeah. Punisher should cross over into a Spidey film. His actions wouldn't need to be R rated to make it work. Kind of like Arnold in T2 where the kid held him back. In this case Spidey would hold him back and it could lead to some humorous battles where they fight each other over morals while battling Kingpin or someone similar.

 

[Kable24]

Don't get me wrong, I love Rob Zombie's movies, but I think he wants to stick to the horror genre since he loves it so much. I just don't see him being a good director for the Punisher. I don't ever want to see the Punisher and Spider-Man cross over in the movies. What works in comics won't necessarily work in movies. I want Micro to just be a shout out to the Punisher fans like me who read more than the Ennis stuff. It could be where Frank gets some of his weapons. Hell, they could just go by his real name of Linus and a lot of people would get it. Small things like that always makes me smile when they reference stuff like that. It definitely needs to be set in NY, but can be filmed anywhere.
