Punisher gets R

JoBloJoBlo

Despite the insanely bloody footage shown at Comic Con this summer, there was a lot of drama around PUNISHER: WAR ZONE , mainly rumors that director Lexi Alexander had been booted and the studio wanted the movie to shoot blanks with a PG-13 rating.

Turns out there was no cause for alarm — Frank Castle will be blasting meaty chunks out of organized crime with a firm ‘R’ rating "for pervasive strong brutal violence, language and some drug use".

The movie is due in December, just in time for the holidays! Lock and load, ho, ho, ho.

If you haven’t seen it yet, the official site also has the latest trailer , which has more focus on villain Jigsaw.
