For someone who claims to be so big on loyalty, she’s quite possibly the most disloyal, not to mention devious person I have ever worked with and that’s putting it politely.

And trust me, I’m far from alone in thinking that way.

Your words have already spread into the imdb and globalpunisherarmy, some of the most pro-Lexi sites on the web.

We would love it if you could share some of your experiences and impression with us hard core fans who have supported Lexi from day one on those boards.

Lexi, if you are reading this, we are all behind you.
I have much more faith in her vision for this than any damned LGF exec or the phony b*tch Hurd.

Did Gale Ann Hurd promise you a crew jacket? A job as her assistant? You clearly have
your facts wrong and if you would have done some responsible research and interviewed
any member of crew or cast, then you too would have joined the opinion shared by the
entire PWZ cyber community. You think it’s an accident that most of her crew and cast
members signed that petition that was created by a random fan? She has our loyalty
because she fought for all of us and she was there everyday, or better said every night,
in the freezing cold on brutal locations. ( I believe the actor who portrayed Paul
Budiansky signed the petition with the comment “loyalty for loyalty”.)
I have made over 30 films, many of them big budget and I have never experienced a
tougher shoot, nor have I ever seen a director more abandoned during production. They
just left her to run this machine by herself and if the great Gale Ann Hurd says anything
different, she is full of it. She showed up once in a while, but the Hulk was shooting
simultaneously and any of their crew members will tell you that she was with them
(although equally as ineffective on that production I hear).
As a matter of fact, some of us had a running joke about the legend producer. When we
were in the worst toxic location, Gale Hurd, we were told, was on location in sunny Brazil
for the Hulk. So whenever somebody was late or MIA on set, instead of saying “half day?”
we would say “Brazil?”
Lexi on the other hand, not only showed up every night even while she ran a fever and
had the skin literally frozen off her face, she also managed to inspire the entire cast and
crew to think of this film as a very special, special production.
When I first signed on to the job, I only did it for the paycheck. Punisher 2 wasn’t
necessarily on my wish list of movies I was dying to work on. After a few days working
with Lexi and her talented DP, we all felt we were working on a masterpiece. They were
so passionate about the film that we all got totally swept up in it.

In the beginning of principal photography, I used to feel sorry for Lexi because she was
so young and so little to be left alone on a shoot like that. I was certain she would fall
apart. I couldn’t have been more wrong. She is one tough cookie and essentially she
ended up getting all of us through this hell of a production.

After all of that, it makes us sick to see how Marvel, Lionsgate and Gale Hurd treat her.
This is so not right. A bunch of us have seen her cut and are aware of the changes the
studio wants to make and trust me, no Punisher fan would agree with those changes. If
the suits would have any balls at all, they would find a dozen hardcore Punisher fans on
the web, invite them to a screening of the director’s cut and a screening of the studio’s
cut, to see which they prefer. Personally, my money is on Lexi’s cut.

Who ever accused Lexi of being childish and erratic clearly has not met her. The woman
we worked for in Montreal was mature way beyond her years and I doubt she had a
complete change of character within the past six months.

Neil, the way we see it, you are the Judas who crosses the picket line because you were
offered a promotion.
Shame on you.

Head up Lexi, we’re with you

On all boards I’ve been to, aswell as the comments section on for instance Youtube, the response to that has been damn near overwhelming.

Has this helped LGF get out of panic mode? They surely must realize that the first trailer wasn’t the best in terms of editing.

1. Lexi Alexander was spoke highly of and described as a “tough chick” who was right for the movie and the statement about her being on her honeymoon just sounded like she was on her honeymoon.

2. The “gore” scenes they shown were indeed set to heavy metal type music and was introduced by one of the producers.

Sigh… The Spirit is a whole different bag of problems. Yet, I am not sure how I would react if Frank Miller would be taken off of it (something that certainly won’t happen). With Miller, I say let him put his vision out there and we will judge it on its own merits.

With Punisher, we are talking about constant problems — replacing Tom Jane with Ray Stevenson, bringing on Lexi Alexander (who is relatively untested), etc. This production is a mess and I can only hope that Marvel can help Lionsgate straighten it out before someone pulls the handle on the toilet.
