Thomas Jane Drops Out of Punisher 2, Touch With Reality
I just love my new triceps. Thanks, meth!
Thomas Jane is pulling out of Punisher 2. In a barely coherent strongly worded letter to AICN, he writes,
"I’m writing to tell you that I regretfully and painfully had to pull out of P2. I can’t tell you how completely broken up I am about it. After busting my ass at the gym four days a week for almost two years, watching every character driven action pic that any fan would ask me to watch while I was standing in line buying egg whites and Tuna fish (Leon the Professional, Oldboy, The Seven-Ups (GREAT flick), Point Blank, Escape from NY, The Driver, Magnum Force, The Mechanic, The Great Silence, Sexy Beast, Nighthawks, Cry Vengeance (check it out), Road Warrior, Man on Fire, Outlaw Josey Wales, Rocky (think about it), Serpico, etc etc etc.) after countless Saturday nights making notes and drinking soda water and munching on seaweed sticks while my daughter slept on my lap to the sound of automatic gunfire, (now she can’t sleep without it. I had to make a tape of automatic gunfire to play in her room at night) after hauling myself to any ‘Guns! Knifes! Ammo!’ show in any small town that I found myself in shooting Killshot or The Mist or Mutant Chronicles, after torn ligaments, screwed up rotator cuffs, thousands of $$$ on ridiculously huge vitamins, overly long conversations with frighteningly tall men about The Fastest Way To Kill Someone With Your Bare Hands, and after a dude refused to sell me a Fatburger at 2am on Santa Monica Blvd, I am, sadly – no, make that heartbrokenly – f*** it - just rip out the heart and stomp it into the pavement a couple of times – pulling out. Punisher fans are already fighting an uphill battle as it is. And I’ve always felt a responsibility to fight that fight for them and with them so that Frank Castle gets the treatment he deserves."
To me, the two most shocking things about this story are: A. They were making a Punisher sequel? Why why why? and B. Wow, Thomas Jane must do a lot of cocaine.
Seriously, buddy, after a ramble like that I think it's clear you need to switch to Adderall.
On the bright side, perhaps they can get Dolph Lundgren back! I heard he's not doing anything. From his grandma. With whom he now lives.
Turns out Nickelodeon is good for something beyond keeping your captives compliant and sedate. Included in one of the commercial breaks during this past Saturday's Kids' Choice Awards was a new spot for Sherlock Holmes' upcoming Iron Guy movie. The footage was comprised mostly ... / Continue →
Okay, now in this "scene", I'm going to beat a hooker to death with a stick. Ready on set?
Director John Dahl has backed out of Punisher 2. Not that I really care, there's no way in hell I'm seeing the sequel to a shitty movie that was a remake of another shitty movie.

This raised eyebrow is as far as it's gonna go before marriage, honey.
Holy fudge! Fantastic Four 2 has gotten a PG rating! Well yippie kai-yay Mr. Falcon! Let's go celebrate by doing something non sexually suggestive (that will come off as unintentionally homoerotic!)!
