Hulk Hogan to THE PUNISHER -- 'Punish this, brother!'

Published at:  Aug 21, 2003 11:31:03 AM CDT

Hey folks, Harry here... Well, in a talk back dream, it seems that Thunderlips hear the southern drawl of THE PUNISHER - at least I hear he has a Southern Drawl. Well, as bizarre as this casting may be... ah heck, we got Sharon Stone as the villain in the (NotReally)CATWOMAN flick, Rachel Weisz reteaming with her CHAIN REACTION star - Keanu Reeves in CONSTANTINE, and Mr Van Wilder aka Ryan Reynolds in BLADE 2.... Well, I know what happens with 3 strikes, but what about 4 or 5? What a day for comic haters!





'TVD' has stated that WrestlingDotCom has an update about wrestler Kevin Nash's role in The Punisher and more...Former WWE icon, Hulk Hogan called in to the Bubba the Love Sponge radio show recently. He noted Kevin Nash's haircut and the fact that it was for a part he has in the coming "Punisher" movie. He said that Nash will play the part of a wrestler in the movie, and that he himself will have cameo appearance in the movie as well.

    Catwoman now sounds like Supergirl

    by drath

    Sharon Stone is playing Faye Dunaway! Who know? It's still got Halle, but I wish they'd call it something else because it is NOT Catwoman. I know, it's to get the name recognition, but it creates false expectations and will just make us think "man, they couldn't even get Michelle to come back to this turkey." And I'm confused by their wanting a no presence like Josh Lucas to play some hackneyed police detective love interest. Don't they want it to be good? I know: make it Batgirl, keep Halle, cast Morgan Freeman as her dad Commissioner Gordon, make Sharon Stone the REAL Catwoman, and cast Colin Farell or Orlando Bloom as Nightwing. Ah hell, make it a Gotham Girls movie, with Nicole Kidman as Poison Ivy and Kate Hudson as Harley Quinn! You'd have it ALL! Just say Bruce Wayne is in Metropolis that week! It could WORK!!! HAHAHAHAAAAA!!

    SOMEONE GET A PART FOR RIC FLAIR......WHOOOOOO!

    by notchjohnson

    DEAR CASTING PEOPLE WHO READ AIN'T IT COOL NEWS - Let's get some parts for "Nature Boy" Ric Flair in some feature films. Ric is the greatest wrestling champion of all time, in terms of wrestling skill and ability to get other people "over" (like Lex Luger, Big Show, Nikita Koloff, and Barry Windham). He's held world titles in the NWA/WCW and the WWF/WWE, and has a great presence. I'm a college-educated guy, but even I "mark out" when Flair comes down to the ring. He's now part of Evolution with Triple H and Randy Orton, but he should be given a chance in Hollywood. Not all wrestling fans are trailer trash with ninth-grade educations...the other five percent are educated folks like me, who can count to 20 without taking off my shoes. Notch out.

    How about "R V D!!!" teaming up with that washed-up Jean Claude Van Damme? They could make one of those low-budget cheapies that lasts about three days in the movie theaters, then shows up on DVD three days later. Why not? It MIGHT give RVD something to do instead of BORING THE FRIGGIN' AUDIENCE TO DEATH WITH THE LAME RVD-KANE FEUD. How many times now are Kane and RVD gonna feud this year? Forty times? Break them up completely, let Kane tombstone the McMahons, let RVD fly high against Rey Misterio, Chris Benoit, and Jericho. Notch out.

    Anyone else HATE the haircut angle with Kevin Nash on WWE RAW? That darn fool grew his hair out about four weeks, so when Jericho went to work on it, he was basically chopping Nash's hair down to normal level. I HATE "haircut" matches, because they don't do them like the old days, when Jerry "The King" Lawler would drag some washout like Tommy Rich into the middle of the ring, and have a barber shave them bald. Those days are gone, ain't coming back. Notch out.

    by notchjohnson

    I saw Hurricane and S.H.I.T. Rosie on RAW last Monday, and I'm realizing that they could be a great tag team, especially for energizing the mid-card crowd. The Rosie skits have been HILARIOUS, especially with the cat "Snuggles" or whatever the cat's name was. I never thought that Rosie losing his 3 Minute Warning gig would be a good thing, but if he and Hurricane can gel, I can see them in awesome feuds with Haas/Benjamin and maybe even a friendly feud with the Dudley Boyz. (Darn, I forget, Dudleys in RAW or Smackdown??) Notch out.

    Well They do put on a weekly soap opera and Once a Month Play called pay per views. The Only Hulk Hogam movie I could ever stand was "No Holds Barred" But I was 10 when it came out and a bigg WWF fan *Looks around so a big Panda doesnt attack me for using the acronymn) The rest of his movies have been well lets just say the people behind Gigli said damn what were you doing. Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock as got the Movie carrer well 1.5 movies and this thing coming this fall with Stiffler and Christopher Walken. If Hulk Hogan is just a strongarm or a gang member and hardly speaks but when hes there your like oh thats Terry "Hulk" Boohlea it would be ok but Hulk Hogan in a movie in a strong role is worse then a Carrot Top/Pauly Shore road movie to see there uncle Tom Arnold

  • which it wont be because most people who run the movie industrry think comic books are for kids so it will be PG-13 or AA here in my homeland of Canada EH!. I remember the 80's piece of crap that was the Dolph Lundren movie called The Punisher. Ive seen the Roger Corman FF movie too many times and also The Captain America 80's movie which really makes you think that Darwin was wrong that we didnt evolve at all. So what im saying fanboys and AICN talkbackers is we live in a decent time. Weve had kick ass comic movies like "Spider-man" X-Men 1 and 2 both kicked ass and that chicck who played Siryn is the sexiest tomboy beanpole on the planet. Hulk and Daredevil were average they were like having sex with a fine looking woman and then finding out its your friends New GF you remember the good sex but you also feel weird about it when your with that friend. Daredevil and The Hulk though average medicore films thats what they were to me. American Splendor and Ghost World are by far Some of the Best Comic book flicks in the last 5-7 years. I look foward to a high budget Punisher like I look foward to any high budget comic book flick. So until Joel Schmuacher gets into his mind and they allow him to make Batman 5 and Ra'AsGhul be played by Will Ferrell with the same exact costume as Zoonlander I look foward to this movie and I say if you get Hulk Hogan in there you gots to get Mr T some work too. Remember what T said he said Go to Drugs Drink your School and I pity the fool that dont follow T's words Fooooool

    World Champion Triple H

    by virtual satyr

    Word has it that Triple H is under consideration for a role in the latest Blade installment, "Blade: Trinity".

    New Line has declined comment on HHH specifically, but did mention that casting is still going on - which means that HHH has not locked on a role for the film, but has not been passed up either.

    Additionally, he and fiance Stephanie McMahon were said to have spent time in Hollywood recently trying to get the wrestler some movie roles. HHH has been downplaying this, however, as he doesn't want to look like another wrestler who resorts to movie roles, even though that is said to be where his heart lies.

    " This ain't the Catwoman/Selina Kyle as played by Michelle Pfeiffer in 1992's Batman Returns. That is clear now. Our sources are telling us that Catwoman will likely have some extra powers that you haven't seen before. The superhero may have eyes that actually change into cat eyes and she'll be able to jump further than before!

    And while they probably won't be revealed for a while, Halle Berry is said to be donning two different Catwoman costumes in the film "

    by davidia

    Hulk Hogan will star in this quirky sequel. Mchale's Navy 2 and The Fabulous Time Machine of Pirate Wonderland. Hulk Hogan will star as the lead transexual pirate who must help Tom Arnold and his band of military misfits to stop Chris Cooper from releasing a swarm of killer bees upon the "National Grouping of Children at a Small Location Week". Upon their adventure, they'll meet up with Dr. Quacky Smacky (played by Dana Carvey), who will give them the gift they need to defeat the sinister Chris Cooper...the gift of love and heart. Hulk Hogan then uses the bomb in his ribcage to blow up Chris Cooper upon a speeding train ending fight sequence. Before Hogan dies, Hogan gives Mchale the power of his heart and love so Mchale can then protect all of the children. The movie ends with a twist. That twist? Bruce Willis is actually dead. The movie will cost 300 million dollars, will be directed by James Cameron, and will be produced by Bob Dylan and Whoopie Goldberg. It will include cameos of Ashton Kusher, Denzel Washington, and Regis and Kathy Lee as, who will for the small portion of the film they're in...reinvent the roles of The Munster parents. I am not a plant.

    Again...Doomed to repeat history!

    by kingofthefools

    We're about to see the death of comic book movies...YET AGAIN! Let's remember back to a disasterous little flick named Batman And Robin, shall we? The first Burton Batman kicked ass. The only thing Batman Returns had going for it was Catwoman. Then came Batman Forever. It was pretty good, and I don't care what anyone says, Kilmer made a decent Batman. But then came Batman And Robin, and it all but killed the entire comic book movie genre. Then a little movie named Blade came along and took the genre off of life support and put it into ICU. Next up was X-MEN. Took it out of ICU and put it in rehab. Spiderman and Daredevil got it out of the hospital and X2 made it a Olympic contender! But I'm starting to see cracks being formed yet again. The Hulk was OK. Nothing to write home about, but OK. Halle Berry as Catwoman who's not Salina Kyle, and has nothing to do with the Batman universe? Huh? And now this Punisher movie. John Travolta as the villian? "Oh my God Mr. Kotter...errr...Mr. Castle!" And now Kevin Nash. I guess he wasn't satisfied with just Super Shredder on his acting resume. Anyone else starting to see history repeating itself? I guess I'll just keep my fingers crossed for Spiderman 2, Daredevil 2, and X3.

    OK, reality check. Hogan's going to have a 2-minute cameo, like Randy (Constipated Since the Early 80's) Savage did in the wall-crawler movie. And, Nash as a big dumb villain isn't without precedent. Remember, wrestlers played Sabretooth in X-Men, and Bane in the Bat-Uma movie. Producers hire wrestlers because they want muscular guys with acting experience. I bet they don't even let Nash have any lines...

    think of it: all art entering its period of degeneration embraces absurdity. Cinema is well in its decadence, so it should be bad on a nearly mystical level. Jean-Claude Van Damme as Spider-Man? Beyond camp. A fourth dimension of awfulness! Cinema Dementia! They should have shot that! And this Kevin Nash person? If they look a little harder, surely they can find someone worse. This is casting on the John Waters principle. You find the most grotesque person you can for the part and let the movie rip. You know who would make a great Punisher? M. Emmet Walsh. His bafflement alone at the casting would give this movie the lurid watchability of a bathroom spycam.

    You can tell than Nash is about to do a run-in because the audience starts reacting about five whole minutes before he gets there. What ever athletic ability he may have once had is gone forever. I guess I should be happy if Nash is filming a movie because at least that will keep him out of the ring for a while.

    by darth_lag27

    As a kid I collected all the Punisher comics, the thing that set him apart was his violence and kick ass evil attitude. This movie will be tamed down to get a "coveted" PG-13 rating. That way all the kiddies and can go see it and beg their parents to buy them the toys. Just think little Frank Castle toys in their happy meals. Please Hollywood stop make these dumbass parodies of everything that was cool 20 years ago (Hulk, Starsky and Hutch, other shit movies to numerous to mention.)

    You guys are idiots

    by danno321

    Do you people understand what a cameo is? Lou Ferrigno (the original "Hulk") had a cameo appearance with Stan Lee in The Hulk, and it was all of 5 fuckin' seconds. That is what a cameo is, geez. Nash will be a wrestler in the movie, Randy Savage was a wrestler in Spider-Man (and did a damned perfect job), and he only was on for like a minute and a half. Nash, Hogan, and Bubba the Love Sponge will, basically, have absolutely nothing to do with the movie.

    And trust me, if you ever followed WCW, you'd KNOW that Big Lazy Kevin Nash can act when he wanted to. What you people fail to realize, is that when someone like John Travolta, Mel Gibson, and all of these other actors started OUT acting - THEY SUCKED.

    However, wrestlers have an edge as they are acting week to week, and are able to adapt to movie acting ALOT quicker than a typical actor. However, people automatically assume that they should be great actors right off the bat because they're on a weekly television show acting as wrestlers, which is a ridiculous assumption. There's a huge difference between improv'ing a match with an opponent along with cutting promos and filming movies.

    My point, any wrestler that is good at being a wrestler can be a good actor, it's just that, like all things, it takes time. With the exception of Rocky III (Which couldn't have been done better), Hulk Hogan was scripted into some terrible, low-budget movies. Not his fault he got the shaft.

    He was pretty likeable and showed he had a knack for comedy in 'Van Wilder,' and no matter how good 'Blade 3' will or won't be, it can't be any worse than that movie was. To say he deserves better is an understatement. Now the only question is whether or not his Vampire Hunter will be the craftsman-like comic relief or if our little poppinjay is trying to stretch his dramatic wings here.

    Blade was bad?

    by danno321

    I saw the first Blade, not the second (don't know why I haven't), and I thought it rocked at the time. I don't even care if it followed Blade's story-line to a 'T', since 99% of the audience didn't know Blade's story to begin with. Nobody even knew it was a Marvel comic-related film, so if you thought it left a bad impression of Marvel (which it didn't...), then worry not, since nobody thought of it as a Marvel film anyways. I, however, thought it was very well done, the action scenes were great, and the story was pretty good.

    Can't comment on Blade II since I haven't seen it, though I heard it was pretty much all non-stop action, and I didn't even know a sequel was being worked on until I heard you guys talking about it.

    HULK HOGAN RUMOR

    by ibiza

    I'M FROM TAMPA AND HAVE FOUND OUT THE TRUTH BEHIND THIS RUMOR. YES, HULK HOGAN AND BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE HAVE SMALL SPEAKING ROLES IN THE PUNISHER. I ACTUALLY WAS PROUD THAT MY HOME TOWN WAS GOING TO PRODUCE A BIG BUDGET FILM UNTIL I HEARD THIS NEWS. WHEN IS ANYONE WITH ACTUAL ACTING TALENT GOING TO COME OUT OF TAMPA? HULK HOGAN IS/WAS A GREAT WRESTLER BUT THAT ASIDE, HIS ACTING IS HORRIBLE. THE ONLT THING I CAN THINK OF THAT HE DID WELL WAS THE ROCKY FLICK AND I WAS TOO YOUNG TO REMEMBER. BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE LOVES ANY KIND OF PUBLICITY, SO DON'T BE SURPRISED IF HE TURNS AND WAVES INTO THE CAMERA. HOPEFULLY THY'RE SCENE/SCENES WILL BE OVER WITH QUICKLY AND IT WON'T RUIN THE FILM.
