Constantine 2 takes one other step ahead as Keanu Reeves says the sequel has been pitched to DC Studios, who gave the go-ahead for a script.
It’s been twenty years because the launch of Constantine, however the probabilities of a sequel have by no means seemed extra promising. Whereas talking with Inverse, Keanu Reeves stated they just lately pitched Constantine 2 to DC Studios, and now they’re transferring forward on the script.
“We’ve been attempting to make this movie for over a decade, and we only in the near past put a narrative collectively and pitched it to DC Studios they usually stated, ‘Okay,’” Reeves stated. “So, we’re going to try to write a script.” As you may count on, Reeves didn’t drop any trace as to what kind of story the sequel will inform, solely to substantiate that it is going to be set in the identical world as the unique. “We’re not going off that,” he stated. “John Constantine’s going to be tortured much more.“
The unique Constantine film was launched in 2005 and grossed a decent $230.9 million on a $70-100 million price range. The film discovered Constantine serving to an LAPD detective (Rachel Weisz) show that her sister’s loss of life wasn’t a suicide however was, in actual fact, one thing way more sinister.
Director Francis Lawrence is ready to return for the sequel, and he just lately teased that the venture is “nearer than ever.” He’s beforehand stated that he’d wish to develop Constantine 2 with an R-rating in thoughts. “One of many greatest issues for me in regards to the first one was we adopted, per Warner Bros., the principles to make a PG-13 film by way of violence, blood, language, sexuality,” Lawrence stated. “However the rankings board gave us a tough R based mostly on their the grey zone of depth. And my large, large remorse was that we have now an R-rated film that’s actually a PG-13 film. And if I used to be going to must go have an R, I might have actually made an R-rated film. I might have made it a lot scarier and way more violent and I might have actually made an R-rated film. The thought is that this time, no less than for me, is to actually go at it and make an actual R-rated Constantine which is, I feel, what folks all the time needed initially, not the PG-13 model that simply occurs to get an R.” I’ll admit that I’m intrigued by the thought of Reeves returning to play an older, wiser John Constantine, however will DC Studios actually pull the set off on this one? What do you suppose?
Constantine was just lately launched on 4K Extremely HD.
