The one thing that worries people about the Disney and Marvel deal is, what happens to the violent/adult characters? Miramax is the answer to that question. The studio that helped produce: The Crow, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Gangs of New York, Equilibrium and Scream, just to name a few. I could see Disney buying the rights back for characters such as Punisher and Blade. I doubt the rights would be as expensive as say for Spider-Man or X-Men. I can't see Marvel Studios being able to also handle the adult content. Miramax could be studio able to tackle the films.
PUNISHER: War Zone for all it's problems with story, dialog and acting, ended up to deliver the action the Thomas Jane film couldn't. With a solid script and accomplished action director the series could end up becoming something great. I know they aren't a popular choice but Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (Crank, Gamer) could give the series the energy it needs. The pair would understand the Punisher Max series and how to make an entertaining action movie. Ray Stevenson is the best Frank Castle and should return for at least one more film.
BLADE: The character that started the whole comicbook film craze, needs to be respected. So let's hope for the return of Wesley Snipes and a decent director. As much as I enjoy his writing, David S. Goyer's directing is awful. I'd love him to write a new script because that's what he does best. Ryan Renyolds' Hannibal King could return but with Reynolds playing leads in both Green Lantern and Deadpool, it's unlikely. It would be nice to have Stephen Norrington return. If not, having someone from Guillermo del Toro's group of directors would be ok with me.
