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 regarded extra promising. Whereas talking with Inverse, Keanu Reeves stated they lately pitched Constantine 2 to DC Studios, and now they’re transferring forward on the script.
“We’ve been trying to make this film for over a decade, and we just recently put a story together and pitched it to DC Studios and they said, ‘Okay,’” Reeves stated. “So, we’re going to try and write a script.” As you would possibly count on, Reeves didn’t drop any trace as to what sort of story the sequel will inform, solely to verify that will probably 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 dying wasn’t a suicide however was, the truth is, one thing rather more sinister.
Director Francis Lawrence is ready to return for the sequel, and he lately teased that the undertaking is “closer than ever.” He’s beforehand stated that he’d prefer to develop Constantine 2 with an R-rating in thoughts. “One of the biggest things for me about the first one was we followed, per Warner Bros., the rules to make a PG-13 movie in terms of violence, blood, language, sexuality,” Lawrence stated. “But the ratings board gave us a hard R based on their the gray zone of intensity. And my big, big regret was that we have an R-rated movie that’s really a PG-13 movie. And if I was going to have to go have an R, I would have really made an R-rated movie. I would have made it much scarier and much more violent and I would have really made an R-rated movie. The idea is this time, at least for me, is to really go at it and make a real R-rated Constantine which is, I think, what people always wanted originally, not the PG-13 version that just happens 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 lately launched on 4K Extremely HD.
