Why did they replace Thomas Jane with Ray Stevenson in Punisher WarZone the new movie? When the daughter of the now deceased under-cover FBI agent (who was shot by Frank Castle accidentily) was looking through case storage Frank Castle, she found a snow globe and Ray Stevenson (aka Frank Castle ) stated that it belonged to his daughter, but he had a son and his wife were killed by the Mafia, was this mistake or was he really a girl in the movie Punisher 2004?
Jane is not ready to return in the sequel scheduled for the Punisher L '. Lions Gate Entertainment had lit in green to make a direct result due to the strong performance of the film on DVD. However, the project remained in development for over 3 years. Jonathan Hensleigh completed a first draft of the script before leaving around 2006. John Dahl was in talks to direct the film, but withdrew, saying he disliked the script and the studio was not willing to spend enough money on the project. In a statement May 15, 2007 and two audio interviews, Jane Thomas said he withdrew from the project due to creative differences, and the film's budget being cut.
In an interview Jane said he withdrew the film by saying "What I will not do is spend months of my life sweating over a movie I do not believe in. I've always loved Marvel guys, and I wish them well. In the meantime I will continue searching for a film that one day might stand with all those movies that fans have asked me to watch. "
Thomas Jane said in June 2007 that director Zack Snyder had expressed interest in him throwing the adaptation of Watchmen by Alan Moore graphic novel. [3] But Tom said no to the role [4]. Tom also begin his directing debut in the fall of 2007 called Black Country that will also be featured in the main character. Tom said that the film is a Hitchcockian thriller and will be shot in stereoscopic 3-D. [5]

I think he had one, but she was killed with his wife and the rest of his family.
Lol .... the environment in which their murders took place was not even the same thing.
probably a mistake .. Anyway it was a very bad movie .. I thought it was worse than the 2004 version
action was not a war zone for the film by Thomas Jane. It was a completely new movie based on comics, like Batman Begins was the previous Batman movies.
In the '04 film with Thomas Jane, he had a wife and son were killed with the rest of his family in Florida during a family reunion. In war zone of his wife, son and daughter were killed while they are a picnic in Central Park, New York. The original War Zone is much more consistent with its origins in the comics. In a war zone, it has never been an FBI agent, he was just a sailor home against the war, as in the comics.
Thomas Jane did not like the script that will be used and it has left. When he left the studio was left without a star after them, they decided to do a complete restart. They got a new script, new director and a new lead actor.
