The Punisher (2) movie

Saw a note in this article with John Travolta and Denzel Washington about a second "The Punisher" movie in the works. However, it looks like John Travolta will not be in this one. He was pretty good in the other one, and will be missed. I can't recall if his character was killed in the other one or not. It's been awhile since I saw it last.

Anyway, look closely in the second paragraph of the article to find the info about "The Punisher" movie:

Travolta's character was killed. That doesn't mean he couldn't return, but it would be hard to make it believable.

I don't expect much from Punisher 2 right now. I really enjoyed the first one, but I've read that the main lead has left the sequel project because he felt the script was of low quality and that the fans would not like it. That doesn't bode well for the film at all.

Travoltas character was Howard Saint, and yes he comes back. His villan name is Jigsaw and he's the biggest thorn in Frank Castles side. He constantly reminds Frank of how his family was killed and uses that to make Frank act faster than he can think. I really look forward to seeing Jigsaw. =]

As for the second villan, I'm guesssing that The Russion will come back. It's not going to be pretty though.. In the comics, his head is grafted onto the body of a woman and he constantly feels himself up. I had nightmares over that one... HaHa! You Cant see what I'm typing unless you highlight it... which means... you can see me tying....

The Punisher.. the most hardcore anti-hero in all the known universe. To be honest, the movie dissapointed me. All the comics have so much more gore.

Please remember to use spoiler tags when revealing plot details of upcoming films, thanks.

>_> Oops. Sorry thoul.

Lol, you can still see the smiley, even in the spoiler, XDDD

That's too bad. I thought he was quite good if it was the guy who played in the first movie, that is. I wonder who they will get to replace him. Anyone have any choices as to who they think would make a great "punisher". I think Dolph Lundgreen would be great in the role, but I haven't heard anything about him in ages.

I don't think he could pull off the look now. I saw him not too long ago in one of those VH1 remembrance programs (I Love the 80s or something, talking about Rocky IV). I didn't recognize him until they put his name at the bottom of the screen - he's changed that much. He was okay in the original Punisher movie (when was that? probably the 80s too), but I don't think he could pull it off now.

I was hesitant about seeing the movie because of that. I was afraid it would be very gory, which I would not have enjoyed at all. As it was, I think the movie was a perfect way to introduce today's film audience to the character.
