I dont knwo man, the last punisher flick was pretty damn violent. You dont need gore to capture violence, and most times, its when the violence is more psychological that it demands memory.
Well with the ghost rider movie it felt like they tried to make it too much like the spider-man movies and market more towards the younger generation and same deal with the first AVP.
Found this regarding the roles in P2.
It looks like it may be called Punisher 2 :Warzone
It looks like Paddy Considine will be playing Jigsaw.
UPDATED...Paddy Considine NOT Jigsaw..

Fair picture of Ray Stevenson
Well the director has said she is using the punisher MAX comics for material for the movie
What one thing do you think distinguishes your take on The Punisher, compared to the last Punisher movie, that fans of the comic book will truly appreciate?Lexi Alexander: The last Punisher movie wasn't really relevant to us. There's a lot of comparison to it, but none of any of the people on my team looked at it and said, "How can we be different or better?" We just made our own film. The one thing I concentrated on was to really really make it as close to the Max series as possible. We really acheived it in terms of the look, as well as the tone. When I look at the dailies that I'm getting, seriously, I think I'm looking at a Max comic book right in front of me. It's the same color tones, it's the same tone.
Not really.

Not really. People (directors, actors, writers) walk away from projects all the time- it happens Far more than not. You just don't hear about it unless you follow all movies as closely as you do Superhero flic's. And one thing is for sure, the reasons the studios and actors give are usually garbage... spin, all designed to make them look good and the other side look like the bad-guy. 99% of the time it is money, and don't be fooled.
The new Puhinsher has a chance. I think the studio learned a lesson and will allow this movie to go darker, and ditch the goofy side characters like Franks neighbors (and spare me the "but they came straight from Enis's comics!" It just didn't work on film).
I think Tom Jane made a good Punisher- not perfect- but good, but he just couldn't overcome the awful choices of 1) Travolta, and 2) the setting. There should NEVER be a palm tree or a sunny beach in a Punisher movie. Ever.
Actually, you want the perfect look, feel, mood, for a Punisher movie? Go see the movie No Country for Old Men.
Bone...
Chilling.

I agree with your assessment.

Wayne Knight as Microchip? I wonder if he's going to survive the film, because there would be cheering if he gets blown away.
Ray Stevenson looks good as Frank. Thankfully he will be the star and not John Travolta(who took up most of the poster space last time.)
Wayne Knight should be interesting as Micochip.

i agree. The Ghost rider movie felt like a buffy the vampire slayer episode. The first AvP, i believe avoided a complete teenage appeal because of Anderson. In retrospect, i think he really did a good job with what he was given. Even though the final product left much to be desired. AvP 2 was essentially aliens and predator at dawsons creek.
Thankfully, the dark knight, The incredible Hulk and hellboy 2 seem to be avoiding that avenue. Hopefully, the final movies turn out to be half as serious, dark and witty as the trailers make them appear.
As for the Punisher 2. I can't say that im excited for the movie, especially with the absence of jane, but it seems like fuking up a punisher movie would be a hard thing to do. The Punisher is a vigilante out for revenge. It is the oldest story ever told. Focus on the violence and resolve of the punisher's character and you should be golden, but i guess studio's have a tendency to fuk a good thing up huh
