Punisher update!

[Leo656]

Not sure how much impact this will have, but latest news on the new "Punisher" movie has none other than KEVIN NASH (Super Shredder from TMNT2) playing a role in the film. Last night, Nash lost a "Hair vs Hair" match to Chris Jericho on WWE Raw, and his much-adored mane was cut down to a military-style crewcut. Today, it was revealed that Nash had scored a role in "The Punisher", and the role required him to cut his long brown hair to a short blonde crewcut.

I know that I will definitely be seeing this movie now.

Just for completist sake, aside from playing Super Shredder, Nash was also up for the role of Sabertooth in the first X-Men film, but was passed over in favor of Tyler Mane... who was Nash's tag partner for a time back in WCW in 1992. Funny how life works, aint it?

[malignant]

not funny....its just...Nash?..is not an actor..nor..can he act.

HHH will also be scoring a role in the upcoming new conan movie...more bad casting..

anyone see him in the Y2stinger commericals?..ha what a joke...

Wrestlers shouldnt act !

[Leo656]

But Nash isn't just a wrestler... he's Kevin Nash, God amongst ants! His hair is as legendary as his knees are bad. His sense of humor is unparalleled, and he's one of about 3 people who can actually wear leather pants and get away with it. I figure if he auditioned for a role, and got it, then the people making the flick must have seen something they liked when they saw him. I doubt it'll be a big role, but I figured it's still worth mentioning.

Since Nash is God and all.

Which Conan? The Barbarian or O'Brien?

[That Matt Guy]

Well I don't know about that, he really isn't that famous.

To whom do you refer, Mathias?

um...the Barbarian.

[Leo656]

:lol: Trips as Conan O'Brien would be kinda perversely amusing though....

[That Matt Guy]

Nash. God among ants? maybe among wrestling fans, but I would say is pretty much unknown to the rest of the world.

Oh, I guess that's alright....:(

[Leo656]

No, he really IS rather godlike. Fame has nothing to do with it. In fact, it says more that only wrestling fans for the most part have been able to recognize Nash's godliness which the rest of the world has yet to realize.

If you ever have to spend a year of your life painting your hair silver and dressing up like a wizard named Oz in front of thousands of people every night, and can somehow evolve from that into a multi-millionaire with several movie roles under his belt and the adoration of millions, I'd say that takes a pretty darn high level of godliness.

And if that doesn't prove it, then Vinnie Vegas does. :P

Either he's godlike or he just walked over tons of people to get where he is today.

[Leo656]

Doesn't one usually go hand-in-hand with the other? :lol:

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Conan O'Brien is Godlike!!

[Shellfox]

Another reason to go see Punisher, cool.

While I don't know much about Nashes asting career, he could probly pull off what leos discribes, hell is Hogan and Ventura could do it, I don't see why Nash can't


ANd sunday, I saw the trailer for Rocks new movie, I swear Mr. Nanny 2 would be better than this pile of crap

:lol: Yeah I saw it today, I swear I saw the Rock doing wrestling moves on Christopher Walken in the preview.

[Karpo_007]

The movie might be ok, but I fear it will fall into same cast as Daredevil... BTW it's the only movie that doesn't have a sequel in production.

[Raven]

Conan O'Brien is Godlike!!

joins in saying conan 0' brien is godlike.

I really dought the Punisher will share the fate of Dare Devil, Punisher has a better cast (and nash makes it better), the fights are suppose to be set in teh real world (little to no wire work), and the movie appeals to more people that most comic movies since hes a bit more well known than DD (at least I knew about punisher far before hearing DD or was into comics)

[damnhooligan]

As long as it's 100% Affleck-Free, there ought not be a problem scraping together a sequel. The cast looks solid enough. It's got Jon Pinette (comedian) who never ceases to make me laugh.

But alas, only time will tell. I just hope it gets carried in the English-speaking theatres out here.

[Taloniss]

That Nashole better not ruin the movie!

[Karpo_007]

It seems that the movie does have potential. Let's hope for the best.

[Leo656]

Seeing as how Nash's part specefically called for a "military-style" haircut, I'm guessing his role will be as one of Frank Castle's fellow soldiers or something in part of the movie where they discuss Punisher's time in the military. That said, I'm guessing Nash's role will be rather small, thus the odds of him "ruining the movie" are pretty slim. Then again, it's possible that his very prescence alone could draw people into the theatre....

Y'know, kinda like how the only people who saw "Universal Soldier: The Return" went to see it because Goldberg was in it. Same thing. :lol:

NEVER.......SPEAK........OF..........THAT......... .AGAIN :x :evil:

Bwa-ha-ha-ha-haaaaa....

I hope he's against Frank. Picture it, Nash starts toward Pun, falls over, grabs his quad, and screams. Frank looks at him, then shrugs at the screen and moves onto the next bad guy that needs taking out. That would be great.

[Shellfox]

I can see Nash working for Saint or some how being ties to Rebecca Roman Stamo's (big SP?) character

and I still say RRS should end up being Mystic at the end

[Dr. Doom]

I never was a punisher fan........don't like how they just have him kill everybody every so often out of continuity. Like he could really shoot down half the Marvel universe. Deadpool woulda slit his throat.

And what about Doom? How would he handle the Punisher?

you mean like in that one what if where he wastes every hero and villian cause they killed his family. After that book I truly believe Punisher is the deadlyest man alive.

I guess it would be to much to hope that teh movie have a gang of little people that cut legs off taller people.

From SuperHeroHype:

Former WWE icon, Hulk Hogan called in to the Bubba the Love Sponge radio show recently. He noted Kevin Nash's haircut and the fact that it was for a part he has in the coming "Punisher" movie. He said that Nash will play the part of a wrestler in the movie, and that he himself will have cameo appearance in the movie as well.

[Leo656]

Nash AND Hogan in the new Punisher flick? They've got my 8 bucks already....

[That Matt Guy]

God. If Hogan is in it, I'm sure George Jefferson will probably show up somewhere in the movie.

[Leo656]

:lol:

Seriously though, Hogan can do action movies. "Assault on Devil's Island" and "Hunt For the Death Merchant" were good flicks. As if the movie was gonna be more than The Punisher shooting people and stuff anyway.

[Taloniss]

It's only a cameo anyway (Thank god!) I think all these wrestlers saw "Macho Man" Randy Savage in Spider-man and want a peice of the action. HHH is having a part in Blade 3 as well.

[That Matt Guy]

They should have got Hogan to play Leatherface in the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre; he wouldn't have needed any make-up.

True but Savage made sence, he was part of the mythos, this I'm not sure about.

And I've seen the movies Leo metioned (even have devils island on tape) and yes Hogan can do action movies, its his comidy that ussually falls short (see: santa with muscles) its not all bad just not has specalty (except Gemlins 2)

[Dr. Doom]

WHAT WOULD DOOM DO?! HA! HE'D GO BACK IN TIME, SLIT THE THROAT OF HIS FAMILY'S MURDERER, KILL THEM HIMSELF, BUT THIS TIME MAKE SURE THAT GUN TOTING MORON BURNS IN HELL WITH THEM!!! AND THEN DOOM WOULD LAUGH!! OH, HOW HE WOULD LAUGH!!!
