Lexi Alexander talks Punisher: War Zone

Punisher: War Zone was delayed to a Dec fifth release date, and the studios got to see their first draft earlier this month. Lexi Alexander spoke out about their reaction to it.

FirstShowing says:

Lexi explains on her official blog that she screened the film on April 1st to the studio and said “it went well” and she’ll “probably have to compromise on a few minor notes”, but “it’s not nearly as bad as some of my filmmaker friends predicted it would be.”

So despite her positive reviews on the first cut at least they are fully aware that this film wouldn’t stand a chance in the summer blockbuster club. With other big name superhero films coming out this summer, this niche comic book action film pales in comparison.

Punisher: War Zone doesn’t exactly get on my radar as the character is likely my least favourite character in the Marvel Universe. Yeah he has a great little sob story about how organized crime took their crazy gun toting criminal and killed his wife and kid, and then uses it to become a crazy gun toting criminal… who shoots badguys.

Dumbest concept ever.

Combine this with the very vocal Kurt Sutter calling this script unoriginal after admitting that the script he wrote was rewritten out of existance (he had his name pulled from the credits) and almost in spite of my wonderment for Julie Benz, I don’t see a lot happening to make me want to see this.
