It’s the middle of the work week, and I think you need some violence to carry you through the rest. Yahoo! Movies has a new behind-the-scenes clip from Punisher: War Zone, which you can access by clicking the link or the scope of Frank Castle’s gun. It’s short, but sweet, with some peeks at the glorious violence that will make this a real Christmas treat, at least in my warped out world. There’s not much new footage, but you get to hear from Ray Stevenson, Dominic West, Julie Benz, the controversy magnet Lexi Alexander, and producer Gale Anne Hurd.

The best part? Hearing Stevenson’s real Northern accent. I wish we had gotten a few more videos like these, Zack Snyder style, showing off the Punisher’s hardware or something. My fondness for Stevenson has been well documented here, so you will sneer at that wish, but they really needed to sell their new Frank Castle. I’m convinced he’s the perfect guy for the part, I just hope the film lets him prove it. If nothing else, at least we get to see someone killed by chair leg. I know that scene alone is going to be responsible for 95% of the tickets sold.
