For some reason, not until this morning did I ever get in the mood to watch the 2004 Punisher movie. Well, I really enjoyed it... though I don't like the actor, I thought he did fairly well. Overall, the movie was quite enjoyable especially the fight against the Russian.

Now that we've got that out of the way, this fall we'll see a new Punisher movie that simply looks awesome. This shit is going to be great, and it starts off with the great cast they've assembled. Dominique West, which some of you will recognize from The Wire or 300 is simply a great actor, and he'll be playing the villian Jigsaw... then we have Doug Hutchison, who always looks very creapy and demented everytime he acts... then we have Julie Benz who I enjoy quite a lot; she's in Rambo, Dexter, Angel... and last but not least we have Ray Stevenson, Pullo from Rome, playing the Punisher. Ray Stevenson will simply be a kickass Punisher, I'm sure he'll be ruthless. He's a huge improvement from that pretty boy Thomas Jane.

The director is a chick called Lexi Alexander, never seen anything from her... but I've heard good things about her Hooligan movie. From what I've read from her interviews for Punisher, she seems to really want to put a good product forward, full of violence.... which I find great. Here's one of her interviews:

Waging his one-man war on the world of organized crime, ruthless vigilante-hero Frank Castle sets his sights on overeager mob boss Billy Russoti. After Russoti is left horribly disfigured by Castle, he sets out for vengeance under his new alias: Jigsaw. With the "Punisher Task Force" hot on his trail and the FBI unable to take Jigsaw in, Frank must stand up to the formidable army that Jigsaw has recruited before more of his evil deeds go unpunished.
