LatinoReview has learned from one of their sources close to the “Punisher: War Zone” project that Lionsgate wants a PG-13 cut to be released. It is likely that this kind of mentality stems from the results of “The Dark Knight,” which is PG-13 and is headed to become the second largest earner ever. But The Punisher doesn’t catch criminals, he kills them. Just look at the ultra-violent restricted trailer for the movie, which will make you wonder how something like that could possibly be converted into a PG-13 flick.
Furthermore, it seems that director Lexi Alexander has been fired from the film. This has always been considered a rumor, but if you take a look at her official website, you will see no mentioning of the Punisher movie. After being so vocal about it, all the previously posted content has been taken down.
In the new film, continuing his crusade to punish violent criminals in America, former FBI agent Frank Castle (Ray Stevenson) arrives in New York to take on an underworld boss who plots to take control of the underworld.
