[Advanced Dark]

I wonder if that guy Lieb is writing the script??

 

[Kable24]

if it's the Lieb I think it is, I highly doubt it.

Although he is or was a huge supporter of the Punisher.

 

[Advanced Dark]

It's the Lieb in the pic above I posted. That pic is from his site.

 

[Kable24]

What I am saying is that if that is Eric Lieb then NO he isn't writing the movie.

 

[Advanced Dark]

It is. Good that clears that up then. Check your PM.

Our production team has developed a track record for producing reasonably budgeted films with commercial potential. Our production division reviews hundreds of scripts, looking for material that will attract top talent. We then actively develop such scripts, working with the major talent agencies and producers to recruit talent that appeals to the film’s target audience. We believe the commercial and/or critical success of our films should enhance our reputation and continue to give us access to top talent, scripts and projects. We also develop films in other niche markets, as evidenced by the successes of our urban films, such as Madea’s Family Reunion.

The decision whether to “greenlight” (or proceed with production of) a film is a diligent process that involves numerous key executives of the Company. Generally, the production division presents projects to a committee comprised of the heads of our production, theatrical distribution, home entertainment, international distribution, legal and finance departments. In this process, scripts are discussed for both artistic merit and commercial viability. The committee considers the entire package, including the script, the talent that may be attached or pursued and the production division’s initial budget. They also discuss talent and story elements that could make the project more successful. Next, the heads of domestic and international distribution prepare estimates of projected revenues and the costs of marketing and distributing the film. Our finance and legal professionals review the projections and financing options, and the committee decides whether the picture is worth pursuing by balancing the risk of a production against its potential for financial success or failure. We typically seek to mitigate the financial risk associated with film production by negotiating co-production agreements, pre-selling international distribution rights on a selective basis and capitalizing on government subsidies and tax credits, where possible. We often attempt to minimize our production exposure by structuring deals with talent that provide for them to participate in the financial success of the motion picture in exchange for reducing up-front payments. In addition, we use certain Canadian tax credits, German tax structures, United Kingdom subsidy programs, U.S. domestic tax incentives and other structures that may help reduce our financial risk.

Television. During fiscal 2006, we delivered approximately 93 hours of television programming, which included one-hour and half-hour dramas, movies-of -the-week, mini-series, animated series and reality and non-fiction programming. To date, we remain a leading non-network affiliated independent producer of television product in the U.S. In fiscal 2007, we intend to have six series on the air, and numerous movies-of -the-week slated for production.

Jeez Retro good freaking find. There you go finally confirmation from LGF in print.

 

[Kable24]

Yeah, but it's date way back in March. That's 5 months old. We want something new.

 

[Advanced Dark]

Yeah but still we never saw it and that's about the time they filed for those permits in Louisiana and started on the site again.

 

[Brendan]

Was there ever any mention where exactly they would be shooting in New Orleans and if the scenes they had planned to shoot there were either interior or exterior? Because I still really want the story to take place in New York and not make the same mistake that the first movie did by filming it somewhere else.

My guess is that they'd mostly film in the Central Business District if it was going to be NY.

Way to go Idaho, good find. Never saw that report before.

Thanks. Its not much but at least it shows that LGF at least do have some intention of making Punisher 2.....after Saw 4.

No specifics on the where they will shoot in New Orleans. The most important thing now really is sign a good director, cast and get a production crew in place.

 

[Advanced Dark]

I've e-mailed a many people regarding this movie and other movies and have always gotten at least an evasive response when I ask questions (even from those who would know)...except when I mention Hayters name. Then there's never a response. That's the only constant but it could be just a coincidence.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^Well we could do with something a bit more concrete regarding this sequel. I mean there is still no guarantee its getting made. With shooting in February, you'd think casting will begin soon.

 

[Beelze]

I wonder what those red marks on his hands are?

What do you think he got the cigar for?

 

[batman7289]

i cant wait for this movie.
