Good News/Bad News

The good news is a release date has been set for Punisher: War Zone (9-12-08). The bad news is Thomas Jane will not be returning to play Frank Castle again. He has said he does not believe in the film.
It doesn't bode well for a sequel when the star of the original has no interest in being involved. I guess this shouldn't be a huge surprise considering the original was not held in high regard. I really liked it but I have a soft spot for comic book movies. I even liked the Dolph Lundgren version. I will watch Punisher: War Zone but my expectations are set pretty low.
