BigFanBoy.com spoke to Thomas Jane about The Punisher 2. Here are the excerpts:

Things got off to a great start when Thomas Jane talked about The Punisher 2, which looks to finally be making some progress. Tom announced that the latest draft of the screenplay is going to be written by Stuart Beattie, who penned Collateral for Michael Mann, and worked on all three Pirates of the Caribbean screenplays.

Concerning The Punisher 2, Tom says he'd like to make a drama, without any goofy stuff. "Just straight noir, drama, with the inherent blood and guts in it." Jane also says it will definitely take place in New York.
