It seems like all it took for us to get a good Punisher film was to take the movie studios out of the equations. Several months ago, we were treated to Dirty Laundry, the unofficial Punisher short film that stared the best official Punisher, Thomas Jane. Now, we are getting another unofficial short from grindhouse director Mike Pecci, based off of the recent comic book run by Greg Rucka. Check out the teaser below.

This visually stunning fan film is a brand new take on the Punisher inspired by the recent series by Greg Rucka. The film stars newcomer Nick Apostolides as a younger, more rugged Castle who shares screen time with Evalena Marie (Steve Niles’ Remains) as Sergeant Cole-Alves.
