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.

Sorry to be horny on main, but I’m pretty sure Tilda Swinton’s Gabriel jumpstarted puberty for me.

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.

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…

Maybe this will be the first time we get a conclusion. Or, wait, even better! It can lead into Constantine 3!

JJ guarantees a mystery box (or boxes) being introduced and not answered. A third movie might not answer anything, but JJ sure makes the questions.

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.

Was it necessary to wait 20 YEARS??
