Are you out of your f*cking mind!That guy at Ain't it cool news got it right:The pic looks like some lead paint drinking punisher fan playing dress-up in his parents basement.

This is not a good looking picture but it does not affect my faith in the actor at all.

Somebody probably said to the photographer "make this look like a Tim Bradstreet cover" and told Thomas Jane to make an ugly mugshot face to look like the guy on those covers. Whoever released this photo should be popped upside his head. But I bet that when people see Thomas Jane in action as Frank Castle everyone will forget this picture.

I don't know.Part of me is just happy they didn't do something incredibly stupid like cast Stallone in the role(looks even less like the punisher) but this does not look good.Pre-production still or not they should have done something with the hair.

A bulked up Ray Liota would have been a perfect punisher in the old school Mike Zeck vein.

Yea. We need Ray Liotta dammit!

Also: I`m not going to see that crap.

Is that picture for real? Cause that guy doesn't look like Thomas Jane... of course, I am tired... really tired... so don't quote me on that...

norrinraad · 04-30-2003, 10:04 AM

C'mon guys, it doesn't look all that bad, at least they've got the skull on the chest...However, I never saw Frank with blond hair but hey, it's still early...

Juvenilemike · 04-30-2003, 10:41 AM

Sheesh!

Ok, here's my reasoning behind thinking it looks cool. Batman and Robin. :P There's no scuplted ab's, no plastic, and importantly no nipples. It looks like a guy that's gone out to his local army surplus store and got the *real* stuff. There's a sense of realism that I think works better for Mr. Castle. Also, there's no leather. Furthermore, there's no spray on muscles on the t-shirt.

Yes it could be darker, and more shadows, and there could be a few more scars. But I think they've done more right than they have wrong. And the punisher logo *allways* looks cool!

Your kidding right? That has to be the worst rendition of the Punisher I have seen since Dolph. Logo included. They definatley have a lot of work to do before I'll be forking out any money to see this one. I think if you really want to see the Punisher, they should listen to Tattered_Troubadour and do it right! Now there's a Frank Castle/Punisher if ever I saw one!

You know I like Thomas Jane as an actor and I think he can even hold down the role of a few comic heroes such as Supes or Capt. Marvel...BUT...and a BIG BUT AT THAT IS...

THE HAIR HAS TO LOOK REAL.

Just ask Halle Berry who IMHO was smart to tell the make up artist on X2 to get the hair right.
