Lexi Alexander's "Punisher: War Zone"

To:  Lionsgate Films

To: Lionsgate Films

Recently, Punisher: War Zone was released theatrically. Unfortunately box office returns were not as high as expected. Lionsgate, Punisher fans and comic book fans alike are equally as disappointed, as the film has the potential to do better.

Fans who have seen the film are very vocal about their feelings and the consensus is overwhelmingly positive. This is the film the fans wanted and deserved, but it does not end here. Lexi Alexander is a visionary director, and a director's vision begins on paper and ends in the final edit of the film.

Judging by the previous Punisher film and many other Hollywood films, this film is very likely to do well on home video. DVD/Blu-Ray has revolutionized home video, due to the inclusion of the "director's cuts" of countless films.

Lexi Alexander worked very hard on Punisher: War Zone and deserves to have her director's cut released on home video. Unfortunately, films that aren't financially successful are not top contenders for director's cut releases. Lexi has kept the fans at heart during every creative decision made on this film and her edit of the film is just as important to that affect as the individual images that end up on celluloid.

Please, give Punisher fans and audiences alike the complete Punisher: War Zone experience, by releasing Lexi Alexander's director's cut on DVD and Blu-Ray when the theatrical cut of this film is set to be released on home video.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
