Dobre vijesti...One of the more gossipy events from Comic-Con was the absence of director Lexi Alexander from the panel discussing Punisher: War Zone. An announcement like “she’s on her honeymoon this weekend” would not have raised so many eyebrows if there hadn’t already been so many rumblings about strained relations between her and the studio, Lionsgate.
We got a call from an inside source, whom we’ll nerdily call Detective Soap, that’s been privy to a lot of the back and forth. He tells me that trouble between the studio and Lexi started months ago when Lionsgate sent her some publicity materials for her approval that she put up on her blog. Punisher fans (like us) gobbled that up and sent that link around, but it wasn’t all part of the marketing campaign that Lionsgate had in mind. (And when you figure that this is the studio behind franchise successes like Saw, figure they know what they’re doing.) When the studio asked her to remove the pics, she went a little bananas, claiming that this was unfair and stifling censorship - a harbinger of overreactions to come.
Since then, reactions to notes and suggestions from the studio – which are completely normal on a film of this size – have been met either with complete ease or raging hostility. “They say she’s a bit like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” the source confided.
When it came time to prepare for San Diego Comic-Con, Lexi realized that she was going to be on her honeymoon and saw no reason to change those dates. She was not removed from the panel or forbidden to come, but few at the studio were heartbroken she couldn’t attend. The honeymoon was not a lie or an excuse – that part is actual straight dope.
The funny part is, my source tells me, that the raw footage is fantastic. The visuals are great and there are some awesome action sequences – but like any film of this size it needs tweaking. Alexander’s previous films have been low budget independents and perhaps she’s just not accustomed to the machinations of larger budget filmmaking. There is, indeed, a new post-production team in place (and new composer), folks that have worked closely with the Marvel camp on their recent projects.
The project, though, has not been taken completely out of her hands as some recent internet postings might lead you to believe. She is still contracted as a consultant on the film and is involved in further decision-making. Detective Soap just hopes that it is more of the Jekyll and less the Hyde.

After all the talk of how violent and how gritty the new Punisher movie would be it seems it was just that... all talk. LatinoReview is reporting LionsGate will release the film with a PG-13 rating. This opens it up to a much larger fan base of young tweens and also will dissapoint die hard fans like myself who were looking forward to a very dark R rated Punisher sequel
It's A Bird... It's A Plane... It's SUPERA$H!!

jupi...
The cinematographer of Punisher WarZone has come out with both barrels blasting looking to make friends. He debunks the latest rumors of a PG 13 rating as well as Lexi being fired and then goes into a tirade of rage and refers to people like myself, and the LatinoReview crew as 'Fat Trolls' for writing about it. Some of the points he makes that are worth noting other then we are fat trolls;
Lexi is not off the film
Lexi is still involved in the edit process
The film is not (nor could it ever be) PG-13
Today I saw a cut that ran 91 minutes
Lexi did in fact get married
Lexi is an incredibly talented director, and this film kicks major ass, as will be proven when it is released IN THEATRES DECEMBER 5th
