Mike V Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Something interesting I came across. Kevin Feige said at the panel that he was "hoping for a 'Frank Castle' movie", take that however you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relias33 Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 A movie about Frank Castle and at the end how he turns into the Punisher. That's something possible. Or maybe he was just saying his name.... who knows. It'd be nice to see how he was a Marine and show him going through war, coming home, going on a picnic, the massacre, waking up and seeing how the law enforcement doesn't do shit and then BOOM he snaps and then it sets up the next film. Could be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AdminGuyX Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Well, Kevin Feige and Thomas Jane were in the same building this weekend. You never know. We can dream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike V Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 So was Dolph.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosella Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 It's hard to picture another person other than Tom portraying The Punisher. That's why I never went and saw Ray Stevenson. HBO should jump on board with The Punisher. It could even be a mini-series. That wouldn't be too much to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike V Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Stevenson was pretty good (really he was about the only good thin in Punisher: War Zone). And you know so was Dolph, each actor has brought different elements of Castle to the screen. Either they'll ask Tom back or get someone significantly cheaper.

johnpweber Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Working on building bases, I have not seen a lot of the DC DTV animated show that have been flooding out, but they seem to be doing pretty good in the marketplace. Maybe they could do a few animated Punisher DVD's (Something in the vein of HBO's Spawn, or even the Batman animated series that was out in the 90's). There's a lot they can do, they just need to hit the right market. I think by doing some dark animated stuff (R-rated would be nice, but even PG-13 can get pretty dark now days) they could expand that base a bit more, or at least try. Failing on a DTV animated flick is much better than failing on an actual film. I'm impressed with what Marvel has done so far, but I've been that way with the DC films of late (minus Superman) but look what they did with Jonah Hex. Punisher is Marvel's version of Hex (or vise versa) I's like to see them test the water before plunging in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's going to be called Marvel Knights, the Punisher popping up in that series seems like a given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Bradstreet Posted July 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Hey! There it is! Cool. I'll post in hot off the boards too. What I've been hearing on the wire is that the new Punisher may likely be a TV series. I ran into Feige the other night at the Sci-Fi (I can't yet bring myself to use the other spelling) party and he's looking at both options pretty seriously. Hung out with Perlman and asked him if he'd do the audio version of Red Sky Diary novel and he looked at me flat dead-eye for about 3 seconds . . . Then said, Timmy, write it in stone. Oh YEAH. - TB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relias33 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Yeah so why did they change the spelling of it? I filmed a proof of concept, post apocalyptic short and the creator is trying to get the SCI FI channel to pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike V Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Finally read Punisher Noir thought it was pretty good, if a little short, it probably could have benefited from being six issues instead of four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padre Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 ahh, the Punisher... what's going on with old Frankie? any great stories come out in comics in the last, say 3 years? Widowmaker by Garth Ennis. Bleak as hell but a really great story. The Slavers is pretty great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esco Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Some of the Max stuff written by Jason Aaron has been great. Aaron's always worth checking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnpweber Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hot Rods of Death and Get Castle were some of the better Punisher things to come out last year. Tom, you and Tim should hit up Marvel and pitch them a one-shot or a mini, maybe put a bug in there ear when/if they get Frank moving again in the right direction film-wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike V Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Yeah, pretty Garth's MAX run was perfect. The MAX one-shot have been hit or miss, Hot Rods of Death, Get Castle, Little Black Book, Tiny Ugly World (not really a Frank story, but a pretty interesting and fucked up read) have been the good ones. Which brings Franken-Castle, I have love/hate thing with that one. I loved that Marvel was doing this type of story with most of their monster characters, but the inclusion of Castle just didn't seem right. I really liked the art though.

I really liked Franken-Castle. Apart from the ending, I thought it was a solid story that far too many people were willing to shit on before giving it a chance. My other main gripes were the changing of artists too frequently. Yeah, every other story arc is fine, but when one issue has 3 guys doing 3 different styles in the middle of the action, it irks me.

I liked it too, I just would have probably loved it without the Franken-Castle stuff, and if they just grabbed some obscure character instead Castle. But then their wouldn't have been the whole Frankenstein pun stuff going on. But it was fun, which is something a lot of comics these days are lacking.

I was really disappointed that they had to just return everything back to status quo by the end of the story. Really, anyone can pretty much ignore the Franken-Castle arc and not miss a beat. While I usually hate whenever someone says "well what they should have done..", but I was hoping for some kind of conflict about whether he would want to turn back into a human. As this giant hulking beast he was 10 times stronger and could take more damage than before (a sword through the bloody throat!). But that's what I get for really getting into a major publishing book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
