1. #DIRTYLAUNDRY
The best description o f this video: ultra-violent tough lessons for thugs in tough times. It’s a short fan film based on The Punisher movie, starring Thomas Jane and Ron Perlman. It was first screened at Comic Con over the past weekend and Thomas Jane insists that it’s just a love letter to the character he played, and not a call to cast himself in another movie.
“I wanted to make a fan film for a character I’ve always loved and believed in – a love letter to Frank Castle & his fans. It was an incredible experience with everyone on the project throwing in their time just for the fun of it. It’s been a blast to be a part of from start to finish — we hope the friends of Frank enjoy watching it as much as we did making it.” – Thomas Jane
The video is in the wild since 15th of July and until now it got almost 1,7 million views. If you want to know more, join the conversation on Twitter: #DIRTYLAUNDRY with Thomas Jane or Adi Shankar, movie producer.
