Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura has revealed that writer Akiva Goldsman has put the finishing touches on the script for the sequel to 2005’s “Hellblazer” comic-to-film adaptation “Constantine”. Talk of the sequel has swirled around for many years but picked up steam almost two years ago exactly when it was announced actor Keanu Reeves and director […]

I really want this one to happen. I know there’s a lot of hate for the original film, as it differs quite a lot from the original comic. Thing is, I never read or saw the comic, so I saw the film unaware of its origins and totally loved it!

    this is such a great movie, it was like a found jewel when i watched it to the first time it came to hbo, it gets a yearly rewatch. tilda swinton’s gabriel literally one of the coolest movie character portrayals i’d ever seen in my life. keanu, weiss, leboeff, rosdale, honsou, stormare jfc this move was packed. like i said, this is on my repeat list. such a great flick.

    I hope they have a role for Stormare, he killed it in the first one.

    I’m a fan of the comics, so it was a passable occult detective film but that wasn’t John Constantine to me.

      I really got into the television series as well, but sadly that was cancelled after just one small season, as I’m sure you’re aware.

      I’m with you, though I’d say better than passable, especially for the time.

    Oh FFS Akiva Goldsman and JJ Abrams? Well glad we all enjoyed the first one because the sequel is going to SUCK.

      Fuck off Akiva Goldsman. How many IPs can he shit on? I Am Legend, I, Robot, Batman and Robin, Picard, The Dark Tower…

    I liked the movie a lot but it wasn’t John Constantine. They took every aspect of the character that made him who he was. Punk rocker, bleached blonde, British, chain smoker.

    Great movie but weird changes to the source

    This is one of the few sequels I’m genuinely excited for. Constantine was such a good movie.

    I love Keanu Reeves, but he was horribly miscast. He was clearly attached because The Matrix = Money

      Maybe as an adaptation of the comic book character, but he still nailed the role that the movie called for.

        Yeah not having seen the comics, I loved both the movie and him in it
