Long earlier than DC Comics had its personal cinematic universe — or Marvel had one, for that matter — Keanu Reeves starred in Constantine, based mostly on DC and Vertigo comics magical superhero. The film wasn’t actually a success with critics — it’s obtained a 46 % on Rotten Tomatoes — or with audiences (it grossed a so-so $230 million worldwide towards a reported $100 million funds).
But then a wierd factor occurred. People fell in love with Constantine. Through the years, the movie turned a cult hit, and one in all Keanu’s hottest motion pictures. (At least amongst folks on the web who like to speak about Keanu Reeves motion pictures, which is a specialised group, I admit.) When requested which of his motion pictures, he’d wish to return to, he typically talked about Constantine — and even revealed in December of final 12 months that he’d truly tried to get a sequel off the bottom, however that Warner Bros. wouldn’t go for it.
Well, they lastly went for it. Deadline says that Warner Bros. goes to “develop” a Constantine sequel starring Keanu Reeves, with the unique movie’s director and author, Francis Lawrence and Akiva Goldsman, each concerned as director and author once more.
It’s a really shocking flip of occasions, notably since just some months in the past, Keanu was moping on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert over the truth that he couldn’t get the film to occur. Remember of us: Never underestimate the ability of trying unhappy on the nationwide airwaves.
No phrase on once we may see Constantine 2, however apparently — 17 years after the unique film got here and went — it’s now within the works. What a world.
