That was pretty awesome. So is it legit or just somethin they kinda did?
Thomas Jane wrote a little message about it. Let me dig it up. I'm putting it in spoilers to protect the identity
"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
So I'm guessing it might be an attempt to drum up support, but at the very least it'll always be something done as a short little clip, kind of like how the first 8 minutes or so of Sin City were done to test the waters.
