Weekly Roundup: 04/13/08
April 13, 2008We’re taking a break from Spirit Week to give you another Roundup, but in keeping with the spirit (See what I did there?) of The Spirit’s adapted nature, every bit of news that we’ll be bringing you this week will be about films based on other media (books, comics, shoes).
Anyway, I have to be at a cousin’s wedding (Marriage?! Love?! Happiness?! SNOOORE!) in the afternoon so let’s get down to business:
1. Punisher: War Zone has been pushed back from an originally slated September 12th release to December 5th. In other Punisher-related news, the film’s director, Lexi Alexander, is really, really, really hot. That’s her with Ray Stevenson as Frank Castle (right) and his stunt double.
And aside from being really, really, really hot, she apparently also has a dirty, filthy, whorish mouth. Here’s what she had to say after being told by her reps that a December release would benefit the film’s box office tally:
I myself would have thought that people will think twice about going to see an extremely violent movie the closer it gets to Jesus’ B-day, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa or whatever other holy holiday you’re celebrating. Well, the box office records prove different and instead, all you sick fucks get more blood thirsty that time of year. (And I say that with lovingly affection, cause I’m relying on all the sick fucks to show up).
MARRY ME.
2. In an interview with Howard Stern this week, director Jason Reitman (Juno, Thank You For Smoking) revealed that he recently turned down an offer to direct Justice League of America.
3. Tony Stark does some thrust capacity tests in this new, 2-minute clip from Iron Man.
