The script

[Sundancer]

I remember reading a few people have read the script or drafts of it. Could someone please post a link to any draft of the script or PM me? Thanks!

 

[1ThePunisher]

Yeah same here. Could someone please PM me the script too.

 

[Sundancer]

Either they don't want to share or they forgot where they got it. Either way....

 

[nomad662]

Which one do you want? I have Lexi Alexander's first draft, the Hensleigh script that was never made and a Michael France script that was never made.

PM me your email addresses.

Though, Nomad, i wouldn't mind getting a copy of the Michael France script. I'll PM you my email address shortly.

 

[KnightBatman]

Is it ok if I could have the scripts too?

 

[gridlockd]

I like to see the Micheal France script. I hear it's good. If it's no trouble, thanks.

 

[T.Bickle]

hey,can some one PLEASE send me the Michale France script PLEASE!

 

[Brendan]

Which one is the Michael France script? First I heard of another one that was available.

 

[T.Bickle]

all I know is that Micro and Jigsaw were in it.

 

[nomad662]

Hey, thanks a hundred, cap'm!

Orginal origin.
I like it already.
Off to a good start...

 

[gridlockd]

Franks' boss at the FBI? D'oh!

 

[gridlockd]

Don't people get that making him a cop defeats half the point? His origin goes from senseless tradgeity to occupational hazzard. It's harder to feel sorry for a guy who knowingly put his family in danger by accepting a job in law enforcement! The mob killed your family? Well, boo-hoo, maybe you shouldn't have been messing with the mob!!

Plus, he's already fighting criminals BEFORE his transformation. So, not as much arch there. It's like Peter Parker going from 150 pounds to 170. It aint that dramatic.

 

[S. Grundy]

Not really, he was fighting criminals but was doing it from within the law. And like he says at the end of the movie he sees the inadequacies of the law and decides to peruse "natural justice".

 

[gridlockd]

I understand. Just saying; he's still going from fighting criminals to fighting criminals. As opposed to going from civilian family man to vigilante.

Plus, as I said, I think the loss of his family is less tragic when you consider he kinda brought it upon himself. He's not an innocent victim of senseless violence. I think his family being murdered for no good reason is a better reason for a guy to go insane then if it's retaliation for something the guy did.
The Dolf version made the same mistake.

So by doing his job and a criminal being killed, he was asking for his family to get it?

Get a life.

Yeah, but he didn't bring about anything, he didn't pull the trigger, but for whatever reason Saint blamed him. He would have been fine had his friend not sold him out.

All violence is senseless, and his family was murder for no good reason. Is it because he was in law enforcement they had it coming to them, even though they've done absolutely nothing to the Saints?

 

[gridlockd]

I'm saying it's a chance he willingly took. His family didn't deserve to get murdered. But they were murdered as a direct result of him wanting to be a cop. The chances of you getting murdered as a police officer are much greater than you getting murdered as an supermarket manager. A supermarket managers' family is in much less danger than the family of a guy who is INFILTRATING THE MOB. I just think him being a victim of random violence would have a much bigger impact, dramatically speaking. Also the character of Frank Castle would be totally blindsided and this would be more damaging to his psyche. Thus, setting him up to be a crazed vigilante. Maybe it depends on what kind of Punisher character you want. I prefer him totally pyschotic. Mentally unstable. Out of touch with reality. As opposed to; cop who doesn't play by the rules.

And get a life? We're both on a Punisher message board right now, dude. Pot. Kettle. Look it up.

 

[S. Grundy]

Yeah, but he was undercover and barring someone selling him out (like in the movie) his actual identity is protected as well as his family. The only person really at risk was him, because if he slipped up he was dead.

if anyone has any of the scripts id like to have it also just so i can see what couldve been and to also reference its structure to help with my first script

 

[StylishHokie21]

The script was ****ing horrendous. I felt bad for some the actors to be honest. Kudos to them for being able to keep a straight face. I know I wouldn't be able to.

Script format's not really important - try writing a treatment - a 25 page synopsis of the story with all major plot points, dialogue and character summaries. Then see if your structure's good enough.

You'll be able to tell pretty quickly if you've set up three decent acts, ready for enhancing to a screenplay.

have anything I can reference? If you mean a basic outline then yeah I can do that but I'd like something to have as reference.

What he means is to basically write a prose story of your idea for the film, and then turn that into a script. Flesh out plot points, character histories and what not, and see how strong it is before you turn your story into a screenplay.
