Fan Creation: Punisher: War Zone 2 Poster

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on December 6, 2008

Our good friend and confidant Christopher M. is not only a hound for photos and scoops all over the web, he also fancies himself an artist of sorts. When he head that Ray Stevenson is interested in making more Punisher movies, courtesy of an MTV interview, he got all excited. Stevenson told MTV that his “This is just the beginning” line in Punisher: War Zone was more than just dialog for moving the story along:

“[I wanted to] be bold enough to say ‘We’ve gone right down to the grassroots to show the Punisher,’ and [the fans] are all aware that if this works, if it’s successful, there will be sequels to this…This is just the beginning, and to the people who respond to it, there will be more if they want more.”

And when someone like Stevenson, who did play one hell of a Punisher, say something like that, fans like Christopher M. make stuff like this:

It is all part of the nature of geekdom. Movie comes out, fans dig movie, fans begin creating a sequel in their heads. Why else would I have a really cool desktop background of David Tennant as The Riddler in the not-yet-announced third Batman movie?

  • Let's hope there'll be another sequel. I was watching the first movie with Thomas Jane. I thought it was bad.

    Yep! 2004 was terrible! But it wasn't the first, there's a 1989 Punisher with Dolph Lundgren (the original Russian, of Rocky fame, and the reason for that lame character in the 2004 film). Let's start this franchise afresh with Ray Stevenson's Punisher. He seems genuinely interested in reprising the character, which is a major plus for any die-hard fans. One might almost think he grew up reading the comic book himself! This should be the first, and the 2004 movie should be quietly swept under the rug, and removed from the series.

    I seen War Zone twice, It was a MILION times better than the 2004 version

    Um, the Russian was NOT an inspiration from Dolph Lundgre. Obviously you just made that up yourself in your head, ever read Welcome Back, Frank? Written 1999-2000, 4-5 years before the 2004 movie, the book featured the debut of a Garth Ennis original character, the Russian.

    He was NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING, like Dolph Lundgren's Russian, other then they are both really big and strong, thats it.
