A decade after a tragic mistake, family man Chas and occult detective John Constantine set out to cure Chas’s daughter Trish from a mysterious supernatural coma. With the help of the mysterious Nightmare Nurse, the influential Queen of Angels, and brutal Aztec God Mictlantecuhtli, the pair just might have a chance at outsmarting the demon Beroul to save Trish’s soul. In a world of shadows and dark magic, not everything is what it seems, and there’s always a price to pay. The path to redemption is never easy, and if Constantine is to succeed, he must navigate through the dark urban underbelly of Los Angeles, outwit the most cunning spawns of hell, and come face to face with arch-nemesis Nergal – all while battling his own inner demons!
Constantine: City of Demons has been produced in a dual format – initially as animated shorts, the first five of which appeared on CW Seed. With a runtime of 90 minutes, the feature-length Constantine: City of Demons film has over an hour of never-before-seen content including the film’s thrilling climax).
Doug Murphy (Scooby-Doo and the Gourmet Ghost) directs the film from a script by J.M. DeMatteis (Batman: Bad Blood). Art Direction is courtesy of Phil Bourassa (Young Justice). Butch Lukic (Justice League Action, Batman Unlimited) is the film’s producer. Sam Register and Sarah Schechter also serve as executive producers.
Matt Ryan, who set the standard for the role of Constantine on the NBC live-action television series, returns to the famed trenchcoat in animated form – after reprising the role in both live-action (Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow) series and an animated film (Justice League Dark).
The cast surrounding Ryan includes Damian O’Hare (Hell of Wheels) as Chas Chandler, Laura Bailey (Critical Role) as Trish & Asa The Healer, Emily O’Brien (The Young and the Restless) as Rene Chandler, Kevin Michael Richardson (Family Guy) as Mahonin, Jim Meskimen (Parks and Recreation) as Beroul, Robin Atkin Downes (The Strain) as Nergal, Rachel Kimsey (Justice League Action) as Angela, and Rick Wasserman (Batman: The Killing Joke) as Mictlantecuhtli.
Constantine: City of Demons Enhanced Content
The Sorcerer’s Occultist - Understanding John Constantine - An exciting examination of the powers and abilities used by DC’s working-class occult detective, John Constantine.
Constantine: City of Demons WonderCon Panel – 2018 - Storytellers join City of Demons’ star Matt Ryan at this year’s WonderCon for an inside look at Constantine’s latest adventure.
The Sorcerer’s Occultist - Understanding John Constantine
A practitioner of magic, and one that would not shy away from using the knowledge of the occult to his advantage, John Constantine has inadvertently found himself in a vast chasm between the light of heaven and the hellfire of the world below. He has a massive array of spells, incantations, curses and rituals that he can use to his advantage. He tries to rely heavily upon his knowledge of the occult, but at times he must use his deft hand at magic to help save the day. From the mythology surrounding the trench coat, being imbued with demonic power, to the blood transfusion with the devil’s blood that Constantine was forced to take on to be freed from his lung cancer, these aspects of his power will be placed under the microscope to reveal the depth of his abilities. The film “City of Demons” does a splendid job of capturing the John Constantine approach to life and adventure. He’s an occultist, he’s a sorcerer, and did we mention that he can time travel as well? Interviews will include various DC Comics experts that can provide details of Constantine’s abilities in these often overlooked reaches of the world of Superhero.

I'd love a steelbook but this given Vixen didn't receive one and Freedom Fighters: The Ray isn't getting one (that I know of) I don't think we'll get one for this. I'd love to be wrong though.
Vixen did get a slipbox instead of a slipcover so it's likely this could get a slipbox. I know it's not the same
I will say I am surprised this is getting a 4K release given the other CW webshows are unavailable on 4K
So no spoilers please, because I haven't finished the original series, but I did hear it ends on a cliffhanger? Is this meant to sort of wrap that up? I'm looking forward to the character continuing on Legends of Tomorrow

The CW Seed episodes do end on a cliffhanger, I thought they were great though. This is meant to be an extension of those episodes into a full length movie.
So no edited together "movie" version of the Seed episodes like Vixen or would it not be long enough?
From my understanding that is what this movie will be. The episodes from the Seed will be edited into this with an additional 60(? not sure how long the
Seed episodes actually are) minutes of new footage.

Yeah, I noticed it was the show edited into a movie after clicking the IMDb link on the front page story. Vixen was a little more obvious being called "The Movie" and all.
Never heard of this but I would like the Reeves movie on UHD though.
This is better. This is essentially Constantine right out of the Vertigo comic book. The animation is lacking but the voicing and story are pitch perfect.
