Is the world really ready for a PG-13
Punisher movie? Well, it seems that Lionsgate thinks so, and is pursuing a PG-13 rating for
Punisher: War Zone, according to a report from
Latino Review Lionsgate has already clearly had differences of opinion with director Lexi Alexander, who has reportedly been fired from the film, whose own
website no longer even mentions the film. Now it seems that the studio may be trying to find a way to bring in the higher box-office numbers that they believe a PG-13 rated superhero movie can bring.
The decision to strive for a more family friendly rating is probably due to the level of violence that Warner Brothers managed to show in
The Dark Knight. But there is a huge difference between violence in
Batman and the violence fans would expect from the
Punisher. Batman is a superhero, he doesn't kill people. The Punisher is a vigilante, and his enemies often are killed, violently.
We'll all know for sure what sort of final cut Lionsgate ends up with for
Punisher: War Zone when the film explodes into theatres September 12, 2008.

this will be good
need more friends so send me some friend requests thanks!
to make this movie work, they need it to be an R rating!
I don't know about Lexi Vs. Lionsgate..
But the movie will still be rated R! Just the way we like it.
That's what I want it as a Rating. I thing this the one and only chance for Marvel to take on a Hardcore R, with all the Violence, and Blood, and Gore.
Also i thought the movie was coming out in December
a rated R film dont mess with it over dollar signs
