The Cast Is Punished

[Lexi Alexander: the director of the upcoming re-vamp]

The newest news on the front about the coming-soon Frank Castle flick is that it's going to titled Punisher: War Zone. And, the cast has been announced (the main actors, in any case).

Lexi Alexander (the director, shown above) has announced three new actors to the show on her official website, lexialexander.com.

'There are not a lot of directors in the process of making a studio action film who can say that they don't have at least one bad actor somebody made them cast. I can say that. Still. (Knocking on every piece of wood as I speak),' Alexander says, 'I have the best cast on the planet. The movie Gods were watching over me.'

Joining Ray Stevenson (who'll be playing the Punisher himself) are Dash Mihok as Detective Martin Soap, Colin Salmon as Agent Paul Budiansky, and Doug Hutchinson as Loony Bin Jim.

She also boasts that she has the best, best, best person in line for Jigsaw - the main bad-guy and all-around not-nice-fella.
