Doug Hutchison sat down and talked with Italian film site Comicus about the upcoming Punisher WarZone. The biggest thing that always seems to come up is whether or not the movie will be like the last film which was panned by comic book fans. His response is quite clear;
This movie will be nothing like any of the previous Punisher films. In fact, it's not a sequel. It's its own entity. "Punisher: War Zone" is going to blow you away visually. It will be very close to the "look" of the graphic novel. The lighting, the sets, the costumes, the style: all of it is going to have a dynamic gothic gritty urban timeless feel. I think it's going to look as stunning as something like "Blade Runner".
If this movie looks half as good as Blade Runner then it will be all good in my books. Blade Runner was a definining movie not just because of the story and the directing but because of how it brought a new look to the scifi genre. Doug plays the character Looney Bin Jim who is the brother of Jigsaw the main nemesis. He said the following about his character in the movie;
I changed physically. LBJ resided in an asylum for the criminally insane for 10 years. So, I shaved my head and worked diligently with our make-up artist to add a pale pallor, dark circles under my eyes, and a gaunt "craziness" to my appearance. I worked with our dialect coach to hone a Brooklyn accent. Also, LBJ disintegrates both mentally and physically throughout the film as his medication wears off and he grows increasingly violent. I "scored" the script (and my character arc) with Lexi in order to keep track of the gradual transformations. Other than that, I just had a hell of a lot of fun playing a deranged psycho!
