Punisher 2 Gets Held Up
Filed under: Action, Fandom, Scripts, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Remakes and Sequels
Unfortunate news on the Punisher sequel front, True
Believers. Tom Jane recently gave another Q and A session over at his message boards, and in the very first question
Tom back-tracked on his earlier suggestion about the movie filming this summer. According to Tom, P2 is
"still looking for a good script," which the team hopes to have in place by sometime this fall. In amusing
other news, Tom also verified that he did indeed drink actual Wild Turkey on the set, not just colored water:
"That was my favorite day of shooting on set." Tom also indicated that his favorite scene in the film is the
fight with The Russian, which took four days in a "rush job."Well...unfortunate that the film is being delayed, but at least it means they're not trying to just shove out a sequel to make some quick cash. Hopefully the effort they're putting into it will result in a great Frank Castle film.

Hmm- considering the box office flop of The Punisher 1 is this all just wishful, Duchovny-like thinking on Jane's part?

I just hope they put The Punisher in the city he belongs in...that being NYC and not Tampa again...
ps. Elrond, box office doesn't matter anymore. Its all about DVD/home market. *Blade* and *Austin Powers* both got sequels not because of their original box office takes, but due to the fact that both properties were wildly successful in the home markets. Although box office does "help" matters.
