SYNOPSIS
Waging his one-man war on the world of organized crime, ruthless vigilante-hero Frank
Castle sets his sights on overeager mob boss Billy Russoti. After Russoti is left horribly
disfigured by Castle, he sets out for vengeance under his new alias: Jigsaw. With the
"Punisher Task Force" hot on his trail and the FBI unable to take Jigsaw in, Frank must
stand up to the formidable army that Jigsaw has recruited before more of his evil deeds
go unpunished.
Starring Ray Stevenson (HBO’s “Rome”) as The Punisher Frank Castle and Dominic

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION
When Frank Castle first appeared as the Punisher in the Marvel comic
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #129 in 1974, the character took the comic book world by
storm, ushering in a new era of anti-hero. Reflecting the growing moral unease and
cynicism of post-modern America in the late 1970s and 1980s, the Punisher complicated
the simple dynamics of good versus evil that had previously dominated comic book
storytelling for decades. Here was a bloodthirsty ex-Marine driven by rage over the
deaths of his family at the hands of the mob, not a superhero, but a mortal man with
extraordinary skills and unflagging determination, one who dispenses his own brand of
justice – involving murder, torture and violence – to the corrupt. Twenty-five years later,
the Punisher is still a fan favorite, having born multiple comic series and film adaptations.
Now, Lionsgate, written by Nick Santora and Art Marcum & Matt Holloway, director
Lexi Alexander, producer Gale Anne Hurd and Marvel have fashioned a gritty, violent,
absolutely faithful film adaptation of the Punisher, inspired by the hard-edged,
groundbreaking PUNISHER MAX series created by Garth Ennis in 2004.
“The great thing with comic books, especially a comic book like the Punisher
series, is that there are so many incarnations of the character,” reports producer Gale
Anne Hurd. “In this case we had an opportunity to deal with a very dark and violent
story. We didn’t have to make it light. We could really examine the tortured psyche of
Frank Castle.”
Fans of the Punisher have already seen two similarly named film adaptations of
the vigilante hero, Mark Goldblatt’s 1989 version starring Dolph Lundgren, and
Lionsgate’s more recent 2004 entry, a pared-down actioner starring Thomas Jane and
John Travolta. Alexander states that her version of the Punisher story embraces the look
and tone of the PUNISHER MAX series and writer Garth Ennis’ re-envisioning of the
Punisher. She says, “This is its own film, with a different script, a different filmmaker, a
different look, a different cast, a different hero. It's really not comparable.”
PUNISHER: WAR ZONE depicts Castle wrestling with the eternal questions of
good and evil and the repercussions of his contradictory moral code. Explains Hurd,

“Frank Castle sets out to eliminate an entire Mafia group that has killed an innocent man.
As a result, he finds something that he never expected: that in the process of punishing
the guilty, he’s actually killed an innocent man himself. So during the course of the
story, he not only has to wrestle with that, but he has to take on Jigsaw, the most
fearsome villain that he’s ever encountered, who he had a hand in creating.”
“Frank's the final solution in some ways, the final arbiter of justice,” says coproducer Jack Murray. “He is a take action kind of guy. He doesn't ask questions, doesn't
take names and numbers. When he sees something that needs to be fixed, he fixes it.”
“At the same time, this guy is a man's man who is incredibly sad, incredibly
scarred,” offers Alexander. “He's very dark and it's very questionable whether he's on the
good side or on the bad side. I think that's what really fascinates me because it's not all
about action and super powers. It's about this guy and where his soul is.”
Lexi Alexander’s previous directing work includes a drama about soccer
hooligans in London entitled, GREEN STREET HOOLIGANS (2005), as well as a short
film, JOHNNY FLYNTON, which was nominated for an Academy Award. “It was very
flattering for the studio and Marvel to come to me because I’m young, I come from the
independent film world and I have never done a studio film,” says the director. “It’s been
incredibly exciting working on something that has such a huge following.”
Initially, however, Alexander was unsure whether she was an appropriate choice
for a comic book adaptation – that is, until she read the PUNISHER MAX series. “I
really reacted to the mythology of Frank Castle,” she says. “He’s a guy whose heart just
darkened and who basically thinks he can only save the world by killing everybody who's
bad. And that's just right up my alley. I thought, ‘All right, I can do a good job with
this.’”
“Lexi is a visionary,” says Hurd, “and her passion and perspective are contagious.
She just believed so much in how this movie could look and she wanted to attract a high
caliber cast. I'm really excited to have her at the helm of this project.”
British actor Ray Stevenson (HBO’s “Rome”) admits that he was challenged by
the moral complexities of Castle’s actions, and he still maintains that the Punisher is not a
role model to be emulated, but a warning. “There is a kind of nihilism to his actions,”
says the actor. “He doesn't set himself up as a protector of the innocent, he's a punisher of
-5-
the corrupt. That’s a very clear line to draw. He knows he can't right the world. He knows
he can only do this one bit. But at least, for him, it’s the one bit he can do.”
Stevenson believes Castle remains sympathetic because he hasn’t lost his
humanity. In fact, Castle is often all too human. “He hasn't got super powers or lightning
bolts shooting out his eyeballs or anything like that,” he says. “He uses skills he's learned
to get his job done. I think people also identify with his personal story as a man who
suffered a tremendous tragedy in his life and decided on a route of vendetta, a vigilante
attitude that says that once people cross a certain line, they're beyond redemption.”
Adds Alexander, “What I would say is unique about this Punisher is that you’ve
got a great actor playing the part, Ray Stevenson. There is gravitas and a sense of sorrow
to his task, and along with the action there is a heart, one that’s been beaten down but is
still there.”
Dominic West (HBO’s “The Wire,” 300, HANNIBAL RISING) relished the
chance to play the villain, Billy “Jigsaw” Russoti, a vain mobster whose run-in with the
Punisher results in a gruesome accident in a glass crusher that leaves him horribly
disfigured. He recalls, “When I read the part, I instantly got excited about it because he
gets to be the most vain man in the world who then gets smashed up and becomes the
most evil man in the world.”
West describes Jigsaw as “absolutely amoral, disinterested in everything except
what he needs at that moment, whether he has to kill someone or get his money or
whatever. He's a total psychopath.” West sat in the make-up chair for two hours every
day for the necessary application of prosthetics, masks and wigs. “We wanted to come up
with something that was different than what's in the comic book,” explains visual effects
supervisor Robert Short. “What plays in comic books doesn't usually play onscreen. We
had to come up with something that was much more sophisticated.”
While he didn’t enjoy the hours in the makeup chair, West did appreciate the
benefits of working with most of his face covered. “It's very liberating to wear a mask,”
he says. “It means that you're not hampered by naturalism or even one's own looks. One
can be fully a different character, and I suppose that's always what excited me about
acting.”

Angela and Grace, played by Julie Benz and Stephanie Janusauskas respectively,
play a vital role in the film as the wife and daughter of the FBI agent the Punisher
mistakenly kills. In their presence, Frank wrestles with his guilt while also being
reminded of the emotional familial ties he once had and lost. “Frank’s a loner and he's on
his mission. Showing emotions is not what he does while he's out killing bad people,”
explains Alexander. “So here comes this little girl and he has no guard for that kind of
innocence. To me, the best moments in the film are when he just breaks down. There's
just nothing he can do, there's no wall he can have up against this little girl.”
Benz (Showtime’s “Dexter,” RAMBO 2008) explains that part of the appeal of
playing Angela Donatelli was the opportunity to step outside of gender stereotypes.
“Angela is a woman who has a little bit more of an edge, who's a little bit tougher,” she
says. “She's not just the damsel in distress who needs to be rescued. She's willing to kill
someone to save her child.”
Benz also enjoyed exploring the complexities of Angela’s relationship with
Frank. She says, “Angela has a lot of anger towards him for killing her husband. She
does think he's a very dangerous man but at the same time she has to rely on him for
protection and to protect her daughter. And I think there's an understanding of pain
between the two of them, this loss of a spouse.”
Agent Paul Budiansky, the FBI agent who hunts down Castle in order to avenge
the death of his partner, who Castle killed, contributes yet another layer of moral
complexity to the story. Budiansky is committed to putting Castle behind bars, until the
FBI makes a deal with the very murderers his partner died trying to bust. “Therein lays
the quandary,” explains actor Colin Salmon (MATCH POINT, ALIEN VS. PREDATOR,
DIE ANOTHER DAY). “The murderers are released, which throws my character into a
serious moral debate. I start to gravitate toward Frank Castle's philosophy, to actually
help him. I come to understand that there are certain things outside of law that need to be
done.”
Budiansky teams up, despite his reservations, with Detective Soap, played in the
film by Dash Mihok (THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, THE PERFECT STORM,
ROMEO & JULIET). A behavioral psychologist who has been tracking the Punisher for
years, Soap plays the bumbling fool, though his soft-headed act helps hide a more
-7-
cunning side. “I was really attracted to the opportunity to offset all the action with some
humor,” says Mihok. “Soap’s really kind of socially inept and odd but there’s something
about him that most people don’t know. He has two sides, and that dichotomy is really
fun to play.”
Linus “Microchip” Lieberman, played by comedic actor Wayne Knight
(JURASSIC PARK, “Seinfeld,” TOY STORY 2, BASIC INSTINCT), continues the
tradition of the superhero confidant established by the likes of Batman’s Alfred and
James Bond’s Q. Linus provides weaponry for the Punisher as well as moral support and
an intimate knowledge of Castle’s psychological demons. “Even though he’s involved in
vigilante justice,” says Knight, “Linus is a highly moral guy. He’s not a man of action: he
facilitates action.”
The last lead role in the cast is the only one that doesn’t exist in the PUNISHER
MAX series. Loony Bin Jim is Jigsaw’s brother, a mentally ill man freed from an insane
asylum to wreak havoc on the Punisher and arguably the most deranged villain in a film
teeming with psychopaths. “It's fun to play a cartoon character because you can do
anything you want. You can bump it up a little bit,” says actor Doug Hutchison (“CSI,”
“Law & Order”, I AM SAM). “I shaved my head and really got a visual of this character.
Throughout the course of the film, my medication is wearing off. I decided that it would
be fun to try to create this arc so that when you first meet LBJ, he’s very focused and
still, soft almost, but dangerous. As the film progresses, little by little, he starts to
deteriorate physically and mentally so that by the end of the movie, when he has this
incredibly insane fight with the Punisher, he’s just a rabid madman unleashed.”
Hutchison and West also enjoyed forging a disturbingly intimate relationship
between their on-screen characters. “There's this intense brotherly love between us, we'll
do anything for each other,” says Hutchison. “We tried to find windows of opportunity to
show how much we love each other. It's a little disconcerting because we're these
monsters and yet, when we're together, it's gentle hugs, consoling and supporting each
other. It's an almost emotionally incestuous relationship.”
During production, Alexander and her design team made every effort to re-create
the look of the graphic novel, settling on a color-saturated aesthetic that mimics the bold
colors of the PUNISHER MAX comic. “We were able to visually embrace the
-8-
PUNISHER MAX series in terms of the dark, really intense and violent world that the
Punisher inhabits,” explains Hurd. “It was very important to Lexi Alexander, our DP
Steve Gainer, production designer Andrew Neskoromny and costume designer Odette
Gadoury to really bring those comic book frames to life. That was something that we
worked very hard to achieve with the film.”
“At times, it was almost a color of emotion, depending on what's happening in the
scene,” explains production designer Andrew Neskoromny. “Violence would be, of
course, reds and oranges, and other moments that were more somber were cooler, blues
and greens.” Director of photography Steve Gainer avoided realism whenever possible,
using a series of filters and gels to create a vibrant, graphic style. “We did several weeks
of testing before we shot the film, where we basically went through the color gels that
seem to match the colors of the comic,” says Gainer. “I even spoke to one of the colorists
from the Ennis series to make sure we got it right.”
“I think the fans can look forward to a far more visceral interpretation of the
actual comic books,” says Murray. “Everything down to the palette being used to the
locations and the characters are drawn directly from the comics. They are not caricatures.
They are actually characters inhabiting this dark, gritty, urban, sodium-lit world of neon
lights and atmospheric, heightened shadows.”
Additionally, Hurd solicited design advice from famed comic book artist Tim
Bradstreet, who is responsible for some of the best art in the Punisher series. The writers
also peppered the script with references to the original comic as a shout-out to diehard
fans. A hotel in the film, for instance, was named the Bradstreet Hotel, after the artist.
The Punisher’s iconic skull was also a crucial element of the visual design. “When I did
the artwork and design for the skull, I wanted to create something that was more like a
bulldog, more stocky, more just pure bulk and strength to kind of go along with Ray,”
explains Neskoromny.
One of Hurd’s priorities was to ensure that the action sequences in PUNISHER:
WAR ZONE were as punchy and original as possible. “It was really important for us to
keep it fresh and interesting and to do something that people have never seen before,”
says Hurd. “We have action on the street, we have hand-to-hand combat, and we have the
most exotic, interesting and amazing gunplay that you can imagine. We have innovative
-9-
scenes where Frank Castle, as the one-man Punisher army, takes on twenty or thirty
people. We have free-running action, rooftop fights, sequences that take place throughout
every imaginable urban setting.”
Alexander, whose professional career began first as a professional martial arts
competitor, and later as a stuntwoman for Hollywood films, worked carefully with
longtime friend, stunt coordinator Pat Johnson, to create fight sequences that were
faithful to the feel of the comic book. “There's nobody more qualified to do this film than
she is,” Johnson avows. “It's one thing to tell the story but Lexi knows what it's like to be
in a head to head fight because she's a fighter herself. She understands fighting. She’ll
say, ‘Let's change that kick. That looks too much like a martial arts film. Let's do
something else.’ She knows what she wants, for which I will make the adjustment, and
100% of the time she's been right. This film probably has the most realistic, brutal fights
of any that I've ever done in my thirty-five years in film.”
Not all the choreography involves violent combat, however. Audiences will be
amazed by Jigsaw’s band of hired thugs, lead by TJ Storm’s character, Maginty, who all
move with the signature dexterity of ‘free-runners.’ Widely known as parcour, freerunning is an extreme sport that was born in the urban, industrial areas of Paris. The sport
essentially re-imagines any environment as a massive jungle gym, with practitioners
acrobatically running, jumping and climbing up and down buildings, walls and stairwells
without any safety ropes. “Parcour is a sport that requires you to be really agile, able to
jump over things, flip over walls and all of that kind of stuff,” says Storm. “My martial
arts background really helped me in this movie.”
“I think one of the things that the die-hard comic book fans can look forward to
with this film is the absolute dedication of Ray Stevenson, who looks like he came right
from the comic book pages,” says Hurd. “I have never seen anyone work as hard as Ray
Stevenson did.”
Stevenson, who had no previous fighting experience, spent months before
production training for his role. “We had quite a bit of time to train him,” says Johnson.
“We worked five hours a day, six days a week. Ray actually lived at my home in
California, so that I could be sure that he was going to be out by five o'clock in the
morning to start training at 5:30 a.m.” Endurance was one of the prime objectives, as
- 10 -
Stevenson faced weeks of twelve-hour days in which he was performing nothing but
stunts and hand-to-hand combat.
Not simply satisfied with achieving a high level of fitness, Stevenson also trained
with military advisor Jon Barton, who taught him how to handle and fire a vast array of
weapons, as well as how to move like a man with military training. “Part of what makes a
military man stand out is his ability to move through buildings and open areas. It's very
distinct, and it takes practice,” explains Barton. “We did a lot of work with weapons:
transitioning from a rifle to a pistol, using two pistols, using two pistols and a rifle,
grenade launchers and rocket launchers. After six weeks, we started doing what we call
force-on-force, which is where I had Ray engage my fellow employees in mock battle
sequences where he would be the Punisher and he would have to kill everybody, and they
had to try to kill him. That was really fun because it gave him a chance to be shot at.”
“In some cases we have thirty-five people in one scene fighting, battling each
other, probably eighteen against eighteen people,” explains Johnson. “We had an entire
floor of an old college dorm, explosions, the use of all sorts of weapons, grenades, rocket
launchers, everything. The audience will never have seen anything, as far as fighting and
war combat, in a film before. They will never have seen it on screen. I promise you.”
While the film certainly aims to please die-hard Punisher fans, Murray believes
PUNISHER: WAR ZONE will undoubtedly attract new audiences as well. “I think that
the Punisher is an appealing character because he's flawed. With a lot of superheroes,
there's right and wrong, but Frank lives in a grey area. He's a character that sees injustice
but actually corrects it with an injustice. A little bit of doing the wrong thing is ultimately
right.”
“I think audiences are going to see this film as a morality tale, a very exciting
movie that is challenging in a way,” offers Knight. “It is not a kiddy take on the violence
of crime and payback.”
“It's an R-rated film so we don't pull any punches,” adds West. “There are levels
of nuance. There's parody and irony. There’s satire on things like the vigilante hero, the
American health care system and certainly, as played out in my character, recruiting
people for the Army. I think there's a lot of grown up humor in it.”
- 11 -
Hurd is confident that the filmmaking team, with the help of Marvel and
Lionsgate, has created something unique. “PUNISHER: WAR ZONE is an intense,
exciting, action-filled, very violent ride that is an opportunity for audiences to see the
Garth Ennis-style Punisher on screen with all the colors and all the action that they
expect. They’re actually going to experience what they see in the comics.”
“It’s the graphic novel come to life,” adds Alexander. “If you love the graphic
novel, then PUNISHER: WAR ZONE is really going to be exciting for you. If you have
no knowledge of it, I think you'll have a very entertaining ride anyway, one that brings
you into a very surreal world but still has characters you can relate to.”

ABOUT THE CAST
RAY STEVENSON (Frank Castle / The Punisher) is perhaps best known for playing
the character of legionary Titus Pullo in the BBC/HBO television series “Rome.” He shares the
lead starring role in the series with Kevin McKidd. His portrayal of Pullo's fierce and loyal
character and the character's development and adaptation to the changing circumstances of life
and history has won both critical and public acclaim.
Stevenson recently completed the horror movie OUTPOST, in which he stars as the
leader of a team of mercenaries hired to retrieve an alleged geological find inside an old WWII
bunker located in a remote area of eastern Europe.
Other film roles include playing the part of 'Dagonet,' the knight who sacrifices his life
for his comrades in KING ARTHUR in 2004. His first big screen movie role was in THE
THEORY OF FLIGHT (1998) with Kenneth Branagh and Helena Bonham Carter, where he
played the part of a gigolo hired to help the character played by Bonham Carter to lose her
virginity.
His other TV-work includes guest appearances in popular TV series like “Waking the
Dead” and “Murphy's Law” as well as lead roles in “City Central” and “At Home with the
Braithwaites.” He has also appeared in several TV movies such as “Some Kind of Life” in 1995,
in which he co-starred with Jane Horrocks, and “The Return of the Native,” which also featured
Catherine Zeta Jones. Some of his earliest parts were in two Catherine Cookson movies: “The
Dwelling Place” (1994) and “The Tide of Life” (1996).
His stage work includes playing the part of Christ in the York Mystery Plays in 2000 at

part is perhaps that of the Cardinal in The Duchess of Malfi by John Webster with Janet McTeer
at the Royal National Theatre in 2003.
Born in Northern Ireland, the son of an air force pilot, Ray grew up in England. As a
child, he developed an interest in acting when going to Saturday morning matinees. But his focus
remained elsewhere and it wasn’t until seeing a performance by John Malkovich in a play, Burn
This at a West End theatre that he decided to give acting his full attention. At age 27, he began
studying acting at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.

ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS
LEXI ALEXANDER (Director) is an award-winning writer, director and producer.
Born in Mannheim, Germany, Alexander was a World and European Karate Champion.
At age 19, after touring the world participating in competitions, Alexander decided to take up
residence in California to pursue her goal of becoming a filmmaker.
Alexander enrolled in the Joanne Baron Studio of Dramatic Arts and the Piero Dusa
Acting Conservatory, while taking classes in directing, producing and writing at UCLA. To
finance her education and living expenses, Alexander worked as a stuntwoman specializing in
martial arts.
Alexander combined her extensive knowledge of boxing and filmmaking to write and
direct the 2003 Academy Award-nominated JOHNNY FLYNTON. The movie, a true story
about a boxer accused of murdering his wife and convicted on circumstantial evidence, focused
on the moral ambiguities of professional fighting.
Following the success of JOHNNY FLYNTON, Alexander co-wrote, directed and
produced GREEN STREET HOOLIGANS, which follows a wrongfully expelled Harvard
undergrad, Elijah Wood, as he moves to London, where he is introduced to the violent
underworld of football hooliganism. The film was released in 2005. GREENSTREET
HOOLIGANS won many awards and was the only movie ever to win both the Jury and Audience
awards at SWSX Film Festival where it premiered.
.
After the first screenplay he ever wrote won "Best Screenplay of The Competition" at the
New York International Independent Film Festival, NICK SANTORA (Writer), a former
attorney (Columbia, 1996), was hired to write an episode for "The Sopranos." After that
incredible experience, he decided to leave New York and move to Los Angeles to try his hand at
screenwriting full time.
Soon thereafter he was hired as a staff writer for the CBS drama "The Guardian" where
he was promoted to Co-Producer in less than a year. From there he went on to write and
Producer "Law & Order" and write and Co-Executive Produce "Prison Break."
Nick also created and Executive Produces the hit reality show "Beauty & The Geek".
Nick has also enjoyed writing feature films, having been a credited writer on the Lions
Gate/Marvel feature "The Punisher: War Zone" and recently completing “The Throwback”, a
feature for Mayhem Pictures and Walden Media.
Nick also wrote and produced the film “The Longshots” starring Ice Cube.
Nick's incredibly versatile career took an even more interesting turn when his first novel,
"Slip & Fall" was published and became a National Best Seller within its first week.
Nick is thrilled to be able to share his good fortune with his beautiful wife and daughter.
ART MARCUM (Writer) was raised in Santa Cruz, California and is a graduate of
Stanford University.
After college Art worked briefly in television news in Washington D.C. before
moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career in film. Art co-wrote IRON MAN and is
represented by Nicole Clemens and Dan Rabinow at ICM.
MATT HOLLOWAY (Writer) was raised in the Philadelphia area. He now lives and
works in Los Angeles. Matt is a co-writer of IRON MAN.
GALE ANNE HURD (Producer) is one of the most innovative and respected producers
in the entertainment industry. She has produced more than two-dozen feature films that have
- 17 -
generated billions of dollars in revenue, and earned Oscar® nominations and numerous awards.
Hurd has distinguished herself by championing paradigm-shifting technological innovations, and
carving out a preeminent position within the previously all-male ranks of epic-scaled, sci-fi
action-adventure productions.
As the chairman of her own production entity, Valhalla Motion Pictures, Hurd is
continually developing a broad range of projects. Hurd produced the new well received big
screen adaptation of THE INCREDIBLE HULK for Marvel Studios. The film, directed by Louis
Leterrier, stars two-time Academy Award nominee Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Academy Award
nominee Tim Roth and Academy Award winner William Hurt, and was released by Universal
Pictures on June 13, 2008. It was Universal’s top summer box office hit.
Hurd’s other recent films include the futuristic sci-fi thriller AEON FLUX starring
Academy Award winners Charlize Theron and Frances McDormand for Paramount
Pictures/MTV and THE PUNISHER, based on the classic Marvel comic property, which was one
of the top grossing independent films in 2004. Prior to that, Hurd produced THE HULK, the epic
fantasy-adventure based on the Marvel Comic character, directed by Academy Award® winner
Ang Lee.
In addition, Hurd served as executive producer of TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE
MACHINES, the third in her TERMINATOR trilogy. Directed by Jonathan Mostow, the
characters in the film were based on those created by Hurd and James Cameron in the 1984
classic THE TERMINATOR. T3 was an international hit, grossing more than $420 million
worldwide in its theatrical run.
A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Stanford University, Hurd began her entertainment career
as an executive assistant to filmmaker Roger Corman, at whose legendary New World Pictures
she learned all aspects of the business. Rising to become New World’s head of marketing and
later one of its producers, Hurd displayed the creative talent and business skills that continue to
define her career.
In 1984, Hurd earned a place in film history with the first of many event-films she would
produce: TERMINATOR, which she also co-wrote, directed by James Cameron. A worldwide
success, the film was followed in 1986 by ALIENS, the blockbuster sequel to Ridley Scott’s 1979
sci-fi thriller ALIEN. Uncharacteristic of Hollywood films at the time, both featured women in
the role of action heroines. In 1988, Hurd produced ALIEN NATION starring James Caan and
Mandy Patinkin, which was adapted into an acclaimed Fox TV series. Hurd continued in the
action-adventure genre with 1989’s THE ABYSS, a groundbreaking film in its own right.
ALIENS received seven nominations and two Oscars® and THE ABYSS won for best visual
effects and garnered three additional Oscar® nominations.
During the 1990’s, Hurd consolidated her reputation as one of the most successful
producers in filmmaking. In 1991, TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY was released; that
year’s top grossing film and a technological tour de force. Its achievements in the realm of visual
effects were rewarded with yet another Oscar®.
Soon thereafter, Hurd took a brief hiatus from action-adventure production, forming No
Frills Films in order to pursue the development and production of low-budget, high-quality
feature films. The results were the critically acclaimed and award-winning films TREMORS,
SAFE PASSAGE, and the Spirit Award and Sundance Audience Award winning indie THE
WATERDANCE, all of which demonstrated the breadth of her professional and creative abilities.
In 1996, Hurd returned to event filmmaking with the Academy Award®-winning THE GHOST
AND THE DARKNESS, followed in 1997 by DANTE’S PEAK, THE RELIC and the mega-hit
ARMAGEDDON, which was the number one film at the box office in 1998. The political
comedy DICK, starring Kirsten Dunst, Michelle Williams and Will Ferrell, was released in 1999,
and was included in many top 10 lists nationwide.

Hurd has also produced a number of distinguished TV films, including HBO’s Emmynominated “Sugartime,” starring John Turturro and Mary-Louise Parker, the Emmy-winning
“Cast A Deadly Spell” starring Julianne Moore and directed by Martin Campbell and “Witch
Hunt” starring Dennis Hopper and Penelope Ann Miller directed by Paul Schrader. Hurd also
executive produced the 21 episode action series “Adventure Inc.” starring Michael Biehn.
Hurd is well known for her service to the entertainment community and her charitable
work. She serves as a board member of the Producers Guild of America, is on the Board of
Trustees for the Southern California Chapter of the International Women’s Forum, as well as
Waterkeeper Alliance, founded by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.; and was honored by Global Green
USA with the Entertainment Industry Environmental Leadership Award presented by Mikhail
Gorbachev in 2004. Hurd was also honored with the Telluride Tech Festival Award of
Technology.
Hurd’s other honors include the Crystal Award from Women in Film and the New York
Women in Film & Television’s Loreen Arbus Award for those who take action and effect
change. Hurd is the owner of the popular, award-winning bar/restaurant, Vertical Wine Bistro, in
Pasadena, California.
JACK MURRAY (Co-Producer) has been working in the film industry for over twenty
years. He recently executive produced the 3D remake of MY BLOODY VALENTINE.
PUNISHER: WAR ZONE marks the second movie project Jack has produced for Lionsgate
Films, the first being Jessica Alba’s THE EYE.
Jack started his producing career on the successful comedy DATE MOVIE for New
Regency Pictures.
Prior to this, Jack has been a UPM and Production Supervisor on numerous movies
including ELEKTRA, FIRST DAUGHTER, JOYRIDE, NEVER BEEN KISSED, SPEED 2 and

while completing his MFA at USC’s School of Cinema. After a few years as a staff production
executive for Disney’s Touchstone Pictures, Jack became an independent Production Supervisor
on SISTER ACT 2.
ROBERT SHORT’s (Visual Effects Supervisor) two decades of outstanding technical,
creative and artist achievement in the field of entertainment have brought to life many of the
screens most indelible character icons.
Short won a Best Make-Up Oscar® for the high-spirited innovative creature effects in
BEETLE JUICE which redefined the boundaries of horror and humor. He was also nominated for
two BAFTA Awards in Best Achievement in Make-Up and Best Achievement in Special Effects
for the Tim Burton classic.
He has fostered a unique blend of styles and techniques in the design and creation of his
characters. From the outrageous BEETLE JUICE afterlife inhabitants to the enchanting mermaid
from SPLASH to the man eating sharks of LETHAL WEAPON 4, to the inspirational heart light
of E.T. and development of the terrorizing design of THE PREDATOR.
He was the on set visual effects supervisor of NBC’s TV series “Surface” and supervising
Herbie the Love Bug’s on set performance in Disney’s HERBIE FULLY LOADED.
He also helped I.L.M. reinvent E.T.’s heart light for the enhanced 20th anniversary
release of E.T.: THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL. Short’s latest storyboard contributions were
utilized on the Fox series “Vanished,” “Justice” and the Warner Bros. feature SUBLIME.
In addition Short's fantasy mermaid creations have been seen in Disney's Wonderful
World of Color’s “Sabrina Down Under” and his dynamic super hero costumes were featured in
the Disney TV movie UP, UP AND AWAY, directed by Robert Townsend. The arrival of Sega's
- 19 -
Dreamcast System and its survival/horror Blue Stinger game introduced a dozen of Short's highly
acclaimed deranged creature designs to the high tech world of computer games.
Some of Short’s previous credits include COCOON, KINDERGARTEN COP, ACE
VENTURA, PET DETECTIVE, COCOON THE RETURN, LITTLE MONSTERS, MASTERS
OF THE UNIVERSE and the television series “The Flash.”
STEVE GAINER, ASC (Director of Photography) began his career by working at the
Paramount Pictures Camera Department. He then worked for five years, as manager of the
Paramount Film Lab, gaining a unique understand of film and ways it can be chemically
manipulated. He then graduated to shooting films for Roger Corman’s Concorde New Horizons
Studios.
While there, he worked on over twenty films, shooting first unit on six. This fast-paced
style of shooting facilitated Gainer’s next career move into music videos. He has since shot over
two hundred videos and commercials.
A chance meeting on a music video set, led to Steve landing the role of cinematographer
on BULLY, controversial Director Larry Clark’s film exploration of youth culture. This film
served as a launching pad for Gainer’s career in indie films.
He has since worked with Clark three more times, and also with John Waters on A
DIRTY SHAME starring Tracey Ullman and Johnny Knoxville.
He was director of photography on Gregg Araki’s critically acclaimed MYSTERIOUS
SKIN, a poetic but uncompromising study of the long-term effects of childhood sexual abuse.
Steve’s work on this film is what drew Lexi Alexander to Steve.
