Director Lexi Alexander has once again updated her blog over at her official website in terms of the upcoming adaptation Punisher: War Zone. The director talked about showing her first cut of the film to the executives over at Lionsgate and a bit about moving the release date to December 5, 2008.

Plot Summary: 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.

This woman is so hot!!! Who cares about the movie...it's all about her hotness???!!! It is so hot when a hot woman says that something is as "Funny as hell,"...now, that is hot!!! She's a director, that's hot to begin with...and she's directing an action film, based on a comic book...and she is a martial artist??? That's is oh so hot!!! And what is even hotter, is that she's hot enough to know...that's hot???!!! Last but not least, when a hot woman says..."Fuck, what if I'm crazy and I made a piece of shit film?" That is...so very hot--even hotter than hot!!! Plus she called us a bunch of sick fucks, twice...now that is hot!!!

I half to agree....Oh so Hot! Lets Hope this is a Good Film..thirds the charm right?

METALWATER, i SECOND EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID. pLUS i BELIEVED ALL ALONG THAT SHE WOULD MAKE A GOOD FILM JUST BASED ON THE ENTHUSIASM SHE HAS SHOWN AND THAT IS BASED ON THE mAX LINE SERIES. aLSO i'M A LITTLE MORE AT EASE NOW THAT SHE EXPLAINED WHY THE FILM WAS PUSHED BACK. i CAN BUY BEING A FINANCIALREASON BEHIND IT AS OPPOSED TO EDITING PROBLEMS. i STILL HAVE FAITH WE'LL HAVE A GOOD FILM.
FUCK, MY CAPS WERE LOCKED AND I'M TOO LAZY TO RETYPE, SO NO I'M NOT YELLING THIS OUT.

Man, you know you`ve been on a computer too long when you read someone`s comments in CAPS like they are yelling it, in your head.
Lexi is a hottie and I`m looking forward to this flick. Dec 5th is my Birthday so I at least know where I`ll be for some of it.

oh man... i ve said it once and I agree with you all, she is a hottie...man o man....a woman like that behind the camera is bad ass... I never thought of myself as a sick fcuk.. I cant wait for this movie...

HUBBA HUBBA HUBBA HUBBA yup she is smokin like Maura Yierney. And hopefully with that picture people will quit calling Ray a fat ass. Although the statements do hint it is not a perfect film but I can handle that. I just hope he and MICRONewwman have the snake in the van that crushes people who tresspass.

Plus, I love it when a hot woman can kick ass. That's what I loved about Alias, along with many other shows/movies too numerous to mention.

Tom Jane was Frank Castle as Eric BAna was Bruce Banner.....nuff' said!

SONYMANswallows • Apr 09, 2008, 08:53am •
Do you think Geore Clooney was Batman also?

Yep they both were and now they are not since better movies of HULK and PUNISHER are coming out. Bana looked like he was doing a bad impression of Totem Pole Maguire as Banner and Totem Pole did that himself as SPIDER PIG.

And Vincent D'onofrio was Thor as was the guy who worked for Norm KRIETZER Petersen in Cheers when he was Thor in the 1988 Hulk movie where Street Hawk was Daredevil.

All these revamped characters are revamped revampings.
When are gonna get a revamped revamping of a revamped vampire film? Oh wait we already do as Dracula gets revamped every year. Now all we need is to revamp the word revamped or better yet revamp the Chris Makepeace Vampire film VAMP. Who could be a good Vamp that could be a good revamping of the Vamp Grace Jones? Not Naomi Campbell she has to revamp her revamped flight schedule. Wait Alicia Keyes could be a revamped Vamp in a revamped version of Vamp.

Dolph Lundgren was punisher.

bill bixby was Hulk

Adam West was batman

George clooney is Seth Gecko , his brother ritchie died...
