Should they make another Punisher movie?

[Steve Holt]

most likely, unless they feel obliged to shop it around

Question: Disney owns Marvel as well as the tv channel ABC

So would a Marvel live action tv series, like the Punisher, be put on there?

Im sure it was or is being brought up. Problem being ABC is a family oriented channel & Punisher is too dark for it.

 

[Steve Holt]

ABC had Lost didn't it?

Yes, but I think a true Punisher themed show is much darker then Lost would ever be.

Thats an understatement t:

Only HBO, Showtime, or MAYBE AMC could pull it off imo.

 

[Punisher_MAX]

FX and AMC would be fine.

I wish the Punisher had been brought into a Daredevil movie or with Spider-man. He made his first appearance with spidey anyway.
Punisher and DD has potential.

Joe Carnahan should write and direct it. If that were to happen = awesome.

 

[Dr.Negative]

Would like to see a Punisher Movie where Frank Castle and Nick Fury when they were in the army.

His movie Narc was tremendous.

 

[Punisher_MAX]

so after watching The Town i firmly support Jon Hamm as taking the mantle of Frank Castle and Ben Affleck could probably direct an awesome Punisher film.

 

[Steve Holt]

yay Hamm support

 

[Cagefighterkip]

Sylvester Stallone writing, directing, starring as the Punisher.

 

[MadVillainy]

Hell no

I still think they made a HUGE mistake by not carrying on with Tom Jane as The Punisher and just making a sequel to that movie, he has still been the best representation of the character on screen for me and that movies popularity has only risen over the years, really bad mistake on the part of Lionsgate.

Definitely. While I do like Ray as The Punisher, Jane is still the best for me and Lion's Gate should've overseen more of an effort to give the 2004 movie a good sequel.

One director I think would be a great choice for a Punisher film is Wayne Kramer, who directed 2006's Running Scared. I believe I suggested him earlier in the thread. His style on Running Scared was great, very ugly and gritty, which IMO would be a must for a Punisher film. Beyond that, the way the movie was shot even made me feel like I was watching a live-action graphic novel and the movie as a whole had the feeling of a Punisher Max storyline minus The Punisher himself. Just cut down on the shakier camera angles and take out the digital blood and replace it with practical gore, and Running Scared is a nice template for a good Punisher film, IMO.

Interestingly enough, Thomas Jane was actually supposed to initially be in Running Scared but couldn't do it due to other commitments he had at the time. Who knows if he may have liked Kramer's style for a Punisher film.

Shouda, coulda, but didn't. It's a waiting game now.

FX showed The Punisher earlier today, I caught the ending. Man I love Thomas Jane as The Punisher. The last scene was a great way to end the movie. Definitely going to watch it when it comes on again. Also, loved that they used direct monologues from Punisher: Year One in this!

 

[The Guard]

I really think Thomas and Ray both brought something to the table. If they could combine those approaches, absolutely there should be a third Punisher film. And I'm sure at some point there will be. It's not a film that requires an immense budget, and someone will get it right.

What Lionsgate should have done is put more effort into making the '04 movie itself, instead of handicapping everyone involved with absurd time and monetary restraints.

Six years later and it still burns my ass. The fact that Hensleigh & co. were able to make such a awesome movie despite those assclowns is a testament to the skill and dedication of everyone involved with the production.

Artisan was the studio that made 2004's Punisher, by the time the movie was done Artisan was bought by Lion's Gate, so really the only thing they had to do with it was releasing it. They were still dummies for putting it up against Kill Bill Vol. 2 though.

Artisan, then. Doesn't really change anything I said tho. Releasing it the same weekend as KB2 was just the final nail in an already screwed-up coffin.

For sure. It was like Artisan had no faith at all with the project and didn't want to put any effort whatsoever into it.

I can't see anyone taking a chance at another reboot for a least a decade. Unless they could tap someone high profile and talented like a Chris Nolan to Direct. But I don't see that happening, the Punisher has a terrible track record at the box office.

Not sure which studio owns the rights, but the only way I see the Punisher making a return to the big screen is if he shows up as a supporting character in another Marvel film.

I agree the only way I see him coming to theatres is as a supporting role or a villain role?
I personally wouldn't mind seeing him in a supporting or villain role in a DareDevil movie or cameo in Avengers or something??
