I can’t say I saw this coming.
In one of the bigger pilot deals for the 2012-2013 season, Fox (not ABC, a Disney network) has lined up a ‘put pilot’ for an adaptation of the Marvel Comics hero, The Punisher.
For those, like me, who don’t know what a ‘put pilot’ is, this means that Fox HAS to order the series, or they will have to pay some super big fines to Marvel for not producing it. Â So I guess we’ll be seeing Frank next fall.
One of the unique things about this new take on The Punisher is the twist – Frank Castle will be an NYC cop by day, Punisher by night, so I guess we’ll get to see how Frank works on the ‘right’ side of the law.
That’s all the details for now, but it could end up good. I mean – it’s going to be better than the Dolph Lundgren version, right?
