Punisher 2 gets a Writer

I am a big comic book movie nut. I will take ANY comic book movie in and treat them all fairly. I honestly havent seen one I hated yet, but there are still a lot of Comic based movies to come.

The Punisher movie was one that was ok, but far from “great” but since other less popular comic book movies are getting a second chance, why not Punisher?

ComingSoon says:

Stuart Beattie (the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films, 30 Days of Night, Collateral) is writing the new script. Jane also described the film:

Concerning The Punisher 2, Tom says he’d like to make a drama, without any goofy stuff. “Just straight noir, drama, with the inherent blood and guts in it.” Jane also says it will definitely take place in New York.

So now with the writer for some of the best selling movies in the last couple years (and one highly anticipated one) is on board. This doesnt guarantee success for a sequel, but it sure as hell doesnt hurt.

This follows news of the Hulk getting a redux (not a sequel) and other superhero sequels playing against the shortcomings of its origins, will this spell a new phase for sequels? We often hesitate to get behind the news of a sequel because they tend to not stack up against the original, but it seems efforts are really being made to improve the quality of these followups.
