FILM NOTES

Lionsgate's 2004 adaptation of Marvel's Punisher brought the vigilante back to screens after a long absence, arriving during a wave of comic-book productions that were reshaping mainstream cinema. Directed by Jonathan Hensleigh and starring Thomas Jane, the film cultivated a devoted cult following and remains a touchstone of mid-2000s action filmmaking.

This cell captures a promotional title card frame advertising The Punisher Album, a companion soundtrack release featuring Drowning Pool, Seether featuring Amy Lee, and Edgewater among its twenty new tracks. The frame appears in triplicate within the cell, each a duplicate of the same advertisement. As a piece of film-based music marketing from this era, it documents the cross-promotional strategies common to early 2000s studio releases.
