Fans who feel as though they got a slug to the gut after last week's rumors that "Punisher: War Zone" might be tacked a kid-friendly PG-13 rating can breath a sigh of relief, as word broke out over the weekend (via the film's Cinematographer Steve Gainer on the Raw Studio forums) saying those rumors -- in addition to others that have been floating around the 'net -- were unfounded. Or, in the poetic words of Gainer, "bulls**t."
Along with the promise of an R-worthy bloodbath, those who have been anxiously waiting for the new "Punisher" flick can also take comfort in the reports that Director Lexi Alexander is still attached to the project, and is currently in the edit room making the final touches on the film, set to hit the multiplex on December 5, 2008.
However, many across the internet feel that all of these rampant rumors and message board contradictions may be slowly killing the film before it's even released, and that nothing short of Lionsgate coming out and publically saying that the film will garner an R-rating and that Alexander is still attached will save it. Stay tuned, true believers, this story doesn’t look to be going anywhere anytime soon.
Are you still dead-set on seeing the new "Punisher" flick, or has the rumor mill killed any interest you had, Frank Castle-style? Let us know in the comments.
