Thomas Jane is back as THE PUNISHER!!!

The day after the conclusion of Comic Con is typically one of nothing newsworthy to note. Actor Thomas Jane decided to break that expectation by releasing Dirty Laundry, an unofficial and unashamed "love letter" to fans of Marvel's The Punisher.

This 10-minute short film is unapologetically unrated and filled with ultra-violence (once Tom Jane's Frank Castle gets going.) In short, if you were somewhat unsatisfied by the PG-13 approach of Jane's first portrayal ofThe Punisher in the 2004 movie, or the last big screen outing of the character (Punisher: War Zone), then "Dirty Laundry" is the grim, gritty and gory Punisher story that you've been dying to see. And who's that also showing their face in the short? Hey, it's Mr. Hellboy himself, Ron Perlman!

From what I've gathered, Jane and his creative team made this film for no money. I know that the guy is a bonafide comic book fan (he co-created the Heavy Metal-esque Bad Planet comic series with Punisherartist Tim Bradstreet) and he's not ashamed to show his geek pride. I have no doubt that he made "Dirty Laundry" just to step in the soul of Frank Castle one more time, but it's also a damn good Punishertale.

Here's the short, and again, it's NSFW/mature audiences material:

WHAT IS THE NEXUS?

 

The Nexus Group is an association of freelance Nigerian screenwriters with years of experience writing for feature film, TV, and new media – aimed at developing brand new entertainment content for the “New Nollywood” experience. The Nexus is an exclusive club of the best Nollywood writing talent, who plan to equip Nollywood Producers, Directors, and other industry professionals with the next generation of blockbuster entertainment storytelling from the heart of Africa and beyond.

VISION:
Nigeria is the third largest film making nation in the world with its lucrative movie industry dubbed Nollywood churning out an ever-increasing number of films made monthly (if not weekly). However, most of these cheaply made films lack vision in their storytelling and boast sub-standard filmmaking techniques. This is further fueled by the unwillingness by those who have entered into the business with little or no filmmaking pedigree to begin with to quit.

Thus, the Nexus Group is geared towards raising the standards in Nollywood scriptwriting nationally and internationally by penning the next generation content for Nollywood.

MISSION:
The mission of the Nexus Group is to lift the standard of Nigeria scriptwriting and promote African stories for a global audience. The Nexus will provide a platform for writers to cross-fertilize ideas and create stories to entertain the world with lovely Afro-themed stories and concepts.

THE NEXUS IS COMING SOON!!!
