Talk:Punisher: War Zone

message: According to this August 12, 2005 script review at LatinoReview.com, the sequel would be called "The Punisher: War Zone."  As I'm hesitating to cite this source due to extreme POV, the only other mention I could find about War Zone (except in passing) is an August 5, 2004 news blurb from ComicBookMovies.com that quotes Thomas Jane: "There's a pretty good storyline in Circle of Blood. I like taking storylines from the comics and running them together. It would be great if Circle of Blood was one of them. And again, there's some pretty good stuff from the War Journal stuff. I'm hoping that number two is called The Punisher War Zone. Like we could do The Punisher: Circle of Blood or The Punisher War Zone. I think that'd be fun."  While this reveals the possibility of the name, the article doesn't confirm the title, due to the age of the article.  If anyone can track down further (and more valid) citation for the possible title, we could include it in the article. --Erik 14:14, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  ''War Zone'' 

message: Saying "For reasons unknown" about the director not returning to direct the sequel is a bit of information that will obviously change in the future.  With film articles, certain liberties need to be taken with some "future information" aspects such as release dates.  The citation about the director not returning does not mention why, otherwise that information would already be included in the article.  It's extraneous to state "For reasons unknown".  If a reason arises down the line, then that will be added to this article. --Erik 15:00, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The top of article needs some rewording, since this is actually the third film but the first sequel to the remake. I tried, but couldn't think of how to pull it off. --Steven Fisher 18:10, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I just simplified it to say that it was an action film and the sequel to the 2004 film.  I don't think that the first Punisher film is necessary mention in this film article.  Hope that helps. --Erik (talk/contrib) @ 19:01, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I plan to revise and merge this film article into the character's article.  It's apparent that there's no actual production taking place for this project, and the lack of such an event will leave an underdeveloped article.  The film article will be redirected to the appropriate Film section on the character's article. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 21:21, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Support this idea for Luke Cage. I'm not so sure about this one, though. The wheels of progress here are grinding slowly, and we do get new info on a bi-monthly, or more, basis. I'm not sure if merging is so good on this one. I know we'll have the history and such. ThuranX 02:21, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I think there might be something about a new screenwriter... I'll have to check my headlines that my Google Alerts have retrieved.  But I read something that Jane said, something like, "We'll begin filming this July... but that's what I said last year, too."  I'll revise the article here, and that'll give me an idea of where to go from there. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 02:31, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I notice IMDB have changed the title to the working title but we aren't in any rush and we might as well wait until the name is confirmed to save moving this around - the redirect can snag any casual searchers for now. (Emperor 01:18, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: UNfortunately, they also had Welcome Back, Frank as the title, meaning they can and do post working titles. Unfortuantely, this does not indicate that it's the actual release title. I'd love a solid simple citation on this, and whiel that's good, it's not iron clad due to their previous posting. ah well. ThuranX 20:08, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

text: I've just moved from Punisher 2 to Punisher: War Zone. As the other is designated 'Comic', simply put an 'if you're looking for ' tag on the film, to get to the comic. Otherwise, YOU can do the cleanup on double redirects, as I JUST finished most of it. ThuranX 20:39, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In your haste, you used a Cut n paste instead of a move. Now the other page requires admin intervention. Further, citation is that there's no definite article 'The' in the film's title. I've fixed the links and redirects, and I'm not doing it again. I put the page where the citation says it should be; the comic has a 'the', the movie apparently will not. leave it be. We have the if your'e looking for thing at the top, and that's enough.

thread_title:  Working title 

message: Per hte citation given, that of the production company's upcomign releases, the title is Punisher: War Zone. After a long 48 hours of page moves by numerous editors, it's been fixed, and is back here, at the current 'official' title. SHould it require moves in the future, find citation FIRST. The citation gives NO definite article 'The' in front, and thus it needs no disambiguation in the title, like "(film)". Leave it here unless a solid citation for another title can be provided, fan sites do NOT count. ThuranX 01:36, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Reviews 

message: Reception section features a quote that does not appear in the references article at all.  The reference has been removed and readded several times 
revision 280391520 readded SF Gate reference but the quote goes back many revisions further than that.  in revision 256254563 the quote is attributed to Mike LaSalle also of the San Francisco Chronicle but the reference give is to a review from Crave Online which doesn't feature the quote either. The name Mike LaSalle was removed from the article in revision 256356531 and in the process reattributing the quote. 
: Peter Hartlaub of the San Francisco Chronicle gave the film a positive review, writing that the "film was great. It stays true to the comics and the origin. Sure, the plot was a little thin, but it's one of the best action packed and violent films I've ever seen in my life".
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/12/05/DDOH14GTQO.DTL
Finally found it. the quote was first added in revision 256118845 without a proper citation but crammed in beside the existing unrelated reference from Crave Online. Quote is unverifiable. 
The article by Pete Hartlaub could potentially be readded as an example of a favourable review of the film but instead using a quote that actually appeared in the article.  Spent enough time on this, have removed the mistake and explained clearly why it was wrong and I'm amazed how it survived this long but I'm not going to spend anymore time trying to improve the critical response section. -- Horkana (talk) 18:30, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
