Punisher: War Zone Changes Release Date to December 5th

---

At an internal screening that went "reasonably well," it was decided to move Punisher: War Zone back from its original September 12th release to December 5th. Director Lexi Alexander also hinted that the R-Rated movie will be bloody.

These statements were made on her blog (< a href='http://www.lexialexander.com/' target='_blank'>located HERE) Monday.

I spoke to Ray Stevenson on the phone a couple of days ago. He is still in New Orleans, playing a Vampire. I wanted to update him on how the director’s cut screening went which he knew was happening on April 1st. (I thought it was fitting, fools day) ;-)

See, what a lot of people don’t know about Ray is that besides his wicked acting skills, he is also funny as hell. He answered the phone with: "So, how much of a committee cut are we going to end up with?” I almost fell out of my chair laughing and trust me, I needed a good laugh that day. A screening like that is pretty tense. You sit there thinking: “Fuck, what if I’m crazy and I made a piece of shit film?”


Well, thank God it went well and, although I'll probably have to compromise on a few minor notes, it’s not nearly as bad as some of my filmmaker friends predicted it would be. I guess I got away with an actual okay studio experience (knocking on wood since it’s not quite over yet).

They also moved our release date to December 5th, which is, according to my reps, a much, much better date. I myself would have thought that people will think twice about going to see an extremely violent movie the closer it gets to Jesus’ B-day, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa or whatever other holy holiday you’re celebrating. Well, the box office records prove different and instead, all you sick fucks get more blood thirsty that time of year. (And I say that with lovingly affection, cause I’m relying on all the sick fucks to show up).

All right folks, that’s it for today, I leave you with a pic of The Punisher himself, Jeff Wolf his stunt double and little me in the middle. Aaahhh! Good memories.
