Watch "Dirty Laundry", The New Punisher Short Film

A new Punisher short film called "Dirty Laundry" was shown at this year's Comic-Con. The short stars Thomas Jane, who reprises his role as Frank Castle aka The Punisher, a character he first played in 2004's "The Punisher". This is not an official Marvel presentation, which Jane makes perfectly clear in the following statement :

"I wanted to make a fan film for a character I've always loved and believed in - a love letter to Frank Castle & his fans. It was an incredible experience with everyone on the project throwing in their time just for the fun of it. It's been a blast to be a part of from start to finish -- we hope the friends of Frank enjoy watching it as much as we did making it"

So, don't get your hopes up for a sequel to the 2004 movie, just yet. Still, who knows ? Maybe this will get Marvel moving on a new Punisher film. The short looks great and feels great. It's appropriately violent and gives us a neat tagline quote : "What's the difference between justice and punishment ?" Using the score composed by Hans Zimmer for the Joker in the "The Dark Knight" is a nice touch and fits the atmosphere. And I still maintain the opinion that Thomas Jane was the best Punisher and it's a shame that he never got the chance to do a sequel.

A few more details about the short. It's directed by Phil Joanou ("Gridiron Gang", "State of Grace"), written by Chad St. John (who wrote the upcoming "Motor City" starring Gerard Butler) and produced by Adi Shankar ("The Grey", "Machine Gun Preacher"). Also starring is Ron Perlman. And, the logo you see in the picture above is the new Punisher logo designed by Tim Bradstreet.

ClevverMovies gives us some insight into the new Punisher short presented at the 2012 Comic-Con called "Dirty Laundry", starring Thomas Jane, who previously played Frank Castle aka The Punisher in the 2004 movie directed by Jonathan Hensleigh. The short also stars "Hellboy" star Ron Perlman. If you're hoping that this may be some sign that Marvel is looking to revive the Punisher franchise, don't get your hopes up. This was strictly a fan project made by Jane & co. without any involement fronm Marvel.

MR. POPPER'S PENGUINS (2011) - TRAILER

In this family comedy, Jim Carrey is Mr. Popper, a driven businessman who is clueless when it comes to the important things in life - until he inherits six penguins. Popper's penguins turn his swank New York apartment into a snowy winter wonderland - and the rest of his life upside-down. Filmed on a refrigerated soundstage with real Emperor Penguins, MR. POPPER'S PENGUINS is a contemporary adaptation of the classic book. (c) Fox

I don't know about this. It looks really weird. Not that Jim Carrey is a stranger to weird. Although, I suppose being a family film aimed at children could account for that. It just caught me by surprise. Anyway, this is a short movie (42 min), so it's not likely to bore the crap out of anyone. Carrey doing the penguin dance from Mary Poppins, with a personalized finale, is a treat. Oh, and those real penguins they mention in the synopsis above, kind of look like CGI penguins most of the time. Due for release on June 17, 2011.
