Constantine 2 - Blu-ray Forum

IGN had the chance to speak to producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, who revealed that "Beverly Hills Cop 4" will likely never happen and considers it dead.

But regarding a "Constantine" sequel, di Bonaventura said that he would love to do it. "We want to do a hard, R-rated version of it," he said. "We're going to scale back the size of the movie to try and persuade the studio to go ahead and make a tough version of it."

He added that the plan is to bring back both Keanu Reeves and director Francis Lawrence, but no deal is currently in place.

When asked if Constantine will remain a brunette, di Bonaventura said that he is considering changing the character's hair color to blonde to match the comics.

"You know what? James Bond went blonde, so maybe Constantine," he said. "I always find it find that people get that impassionate about a hair color. We had that experience with The Baroness on 'GI Joe.' Sometimes it's part of your character, but it never really strikes me as part of Constantine's character. It's really up to Keanu more than anything. It doesn't seem important to me, but I know it's important to some of the fans."

For the Beverley Hills Cop 4 is Dead news and

for the Constantine 2 news!!

Yes! been waiting for news of this one for a while.

I'm glad to hear there won't be a Beverly Hills Cop 4. As for Constantine, I thought it was alright. This type of movie usually ends up disappointing me, for one reason or another, but I'll certainly give the sequel a chance.

PH3AR · 07-24-2009, 03:52 AM

OMFG! Best news all day!

PS3-Playb3yond · 07-24-2009, 03:54 AM

Yeah, I'd like to see a sequel. Make it happen.

Lord_Stewie · 07-24-2009, 04:15 AM

looks cool. A definite must see.

greatfoxmusic · 07-24-2009, 04:55 AM

Ugh.

I mean the Constantine movie in itself was good. But it doesn't relate to the comic very well. And the comic has a HELL of a lot of good stories in it. They only took a couple elements from it and changed a lot.

John Constantine is blonde, smokes all the time, drinks a lot of beer, he's a total a-hole and he's BRITISH. HELLO???? The only thing that carried into the movie was the smoking. And in the comic, after he is cured of his lung cancer, he starts smoking again. Twice. Not like in the movie. Chewing gum?? Yeah. Right.

Who cares what the character looks like in the comics. It's how the character is portrayed on screen by the actor that counts most. As for the "quitting smoking" thing? The sequel could easily stay true to the comics in that Constantine could start smoking again! Did you ever think of that?

Some people just aren't willing to accept the fact that some details MUST change in order for the content to work properly in the medium which it is presented. Nothing will ever translate perfectly from comic or stage script to the cinema screen!!!

Awesome! Constantine was pretty solid IMO and I'm glad they are making a sequel (I once read it would be a prequel?).

It may not be that close to the source material (according to some) but I hope they don't change too much and just keep the continuity of the film; I don't want to see Keanu suddenly be blonde.

I wonder if a certain side-kick will be returning; probably not as his stardom is so high

That's a good question... perhaps he will given that Keanu is still a much higher listed actor than TheBeef currently is. I'm sure that Shia could certainly still benefit from working alongside Keanu again. Come to think of it... that may actually be the only role that I have actually enjoyed Shia TheBeef in!!!

I hope Constantine 2 gets made, loved the first.

Cisco in HD · 07-24-2009, 07:22 PM

I'm real glad they got the ball rolling on this one, even more stoked if they make it a hard edgy R rating. That'd be sweeeeeeet!

Uhm...

I loved Constantine personally. Yeah, it was different from Hellblazer- so what? The attitude and the overall smoking/lung cancer bit was there. I liked the ending quite a bit- I felt it was pretty well-written. Bring on a sequel!

the CGI in Constantine was awful. I felt like I was watching a live action video game from the PS2 era most of the time. Other than that, I thought the movie was pretty solid. I'll give a sequel a shot.

Clark Kent · 07-24-2009, 07:26 PM

I thought this movie deserved a sequel. The first one was surprisingly good and Keanu did better than I expected in the role.

its been a while since i've seen it, but i don't remember it being bad. you do realize its not a new movie right?

vegeta88 · 07-24-2009, 07:28 PM

Any chance we would get Peter Stormare back as Lucifer? He was awesome in the first one; probably my favorite parts in the movie.

Meh. I dont like CGI in most movies regardless. Takes me out of the film most of the time, especially when they overdose on it and it looks bad in the first place.
