"What would you really do to take these [bad] guys out? What it usually comes down to is, you poke their eyes out, you slit their throat, break their nose, brutal stuff. That kind of ends the fight kind of quickly. That's why you don’t see it too much. No wires, no Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon stuff. It's all going to be real world."Punisher will tell the story of a man whose family is killed, turning him into a vigilante with weapons and gadgets, in full costume. Jane has been undergoing physical training for the title role. "I'm working with Navy Seals," he said. "I've got two trainers, and I work out twice a day. I'm just exhausted all the time. I sleep." Artisan plans to release The Punisher in the summer of 2004.</blockquote>
