Punisher: War Zone Lenticular Poster

Is the director still onboard? Did the studio butcher the film for a meek PG-13 rating? Is the soundtrack all rap metal? Who knows what’s true anymore when it comes to Frank Castle’s ongoing war in the cinemas. What we do know, though, is that the film has indeed gotten a “R”...

Punisher: War Zone Official Site Goes Live

Ray Stevenson sure is looking a lot like the Punisher, I’ll have to admit (a grittier, tougher, ex-Marine Punisher, just like in the “Big Nothing” as drawn by Mike Zeck), and now the movie has finally gotten off its ass and put up an official site. Nothing there right now except for...
