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!

    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.

    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
