Lucifer Himself Confirms ‘Constantine’ Sequel Is In The Works!

Peter Stormare starred as Lucifer in 2005’s supernatural horror Constantine, giving one of the portrayals of Lucifer ever captured on screen. It appears that he has just confirmed that a Constantine sequel is indeed in the works! Stormare has taken to Instagram, posting a picture of himself as Lucifer with the simple caption “Sequel in the works.” While Stormare is the first person “directly involved” to speak out according to Screenrant.com, J.J. Abrams hinted earlier this year that he and director Francis Lawrence (Hunger Games) would return if ever a sequel was made. So we’re keeping our fingers crossed. The 2005 film adaptation of the comic of the same name starred Keanu Reeves as Constantine and Rachel Weiz as Angela. The cast also included Tilda Swinton, Djimon Hounsou, Shia LeBeouf, Pruitt Taylor, and Gavin Rossdale. In the film, an exorcist and demonologist John Constantine sets how to help a policewoman to prove that her sister’s death is not a suicide,

Keanu Reeves Returning As Constantine!

John Constantine has been a popular character over the past decade, being featured in the 2005 hit movie Constantine starring Keanu Reeves as the title demon-hunting character, based on the Hellblazer graphic novels by Alan Moore and Stephen R. Bissette. We saw the character again in 2014’s series “Constantine” starring Matt Ryan who then joined “Legends of Tomorrow.” Constantine will now be kicking demon ass in J.J. Abrams’ “Just League Dark.” Reports are now coming in ( via Dread Central) that there will be feature film spin-offs of “Just League Dark” which includes a new live-action Constantine movie that Abrams will be producing! But that’s not all! According to the Dread Central, Keanu Reeves is returning to reprise his epic role! So far there are no details about the plot or other cast members, but we’ll keep you posted.

Hellblazers Get Ready To Raise Some Hell, Constantine Is Getting A New Series!

Back in 2015, fans were crushed when NBC canceled the supernatural series “Constantine.” Fans’ (known as Hellblazers) efforts went so far as circulating petitions to bring the series back for another season to no avail. Even though an animated series did bring the character back to life and he did appear in “Arrow”, it just wasn’t the same. It’s been four years and just when we thought we’d never see another episode of “Constantine,” but we were wrong. That’s right, the bad boy is back! A new “Constantine” series is in development at Warner Bros. and they want Matt Ryan to reprise his role! With “Swamp Thing” premiering this May it’s a perfect time to bring back “Constantine“, exorcist and practitioner of the dark arts. After all, he did make his comic debut in Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing before getting his own comic Hellblazer. Here’s a look back at the trailer for NBC’s series.

A First Look At The New ‘Constantine’ Animated Series

Fans were crushed when TV’s “Constantine” was canceled by NBC back in 2015 (we still hold out hope that a network will revive it). But the good news is that the animated “Constantine” series will soon premiere on The CW’s Seed streaming service. Matt Ryan will reprise the role of the iconic comic book character Constantine for the animated series which is said to be darker than the live-action version that we loved so much. The character will be closer to its Hellblazer roots. Ryan will also appear in the upcoming “Legends of Tomorrow” episode “Necromancing the Stone” as Constantine on March 24th. He’ll also appear in the series’ finale, comicbook.com reports. Don’t miss “Constantine”, arriving on CW Seed on March 24, 2018. Here’s a first look at the new series.

Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: Eileen Dietz

Sometimes when it comes to getting credit where credit is due, a person is left out in the cold without said deserved recognition. Frankly, my Little Monsters, that doesn’t sit well with me. And it’s something that today’s wonderful Woman of Horror had to experience in relation to what can be considered to be arguably her most famous cinematic contribution, but we’ll get into that momentarily. Eileen Dietz was born in Bayside, New York, and is one of three daughters in her family. She is one of a pair of identical twins, so when it comes down to which of the two is the oldest it’s most likely negligible, as they were likely born within mere minutes of one another. Eileen got into the business VERY early as she and her twin sister Marianne appeared in a soap commercial when they were only six weeks old. Of the two, Eileen was the one who continued on with acting and at

Matt Ryan To Reprise His Role As Constantine In Justice League Dark

Fans were crushed when Constantine, starring Matt Ryan, was canceled and have not given up hopes that the series might be revived. Today, we do have a little good news. No, sadly, there has been no action to bring back the series we loved so much, but we will see Ryan reprise his role in animated form. Constantine will be making his film debut in the upcoming Justice League Dark animated film, SuperHero Hype reports. I really wanted to jump into this project to play Constantine in a different context. Around some of the iconic that are in the DC Dark World,” Ryan stated. Justice League Dark features Zatanna (Camilla Luddington), Deadman (Nucholas Turturro) and Batman (Jason O’Mara). Swamp Thing and Black Orchid will also appear, but casting for the two characters has not been announced at this point. Justice League Dark will arrive on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD this Fall. Constantine made a guest appearance on Arrow‘s fourth

Fans Are Calling For The Return Of Constantine

Fans were ecstatic to see Constantine make a cameo last week (November 4th) on ‘Arrow’. The episode (S4 Ep5), “Haunted”, proved a couple of things, that the fan base for Constantine, played by Matt Ryan, is very much alive and are still calling for the series’ return. The second thing, as if that wasn’t enough, the episode boosted ‘Arrow’s’ ratings by 10%, proving that Constantine still has value, of which, a network should be taking advantage. Earlier this year fans were crushed to learn that Constantine had been cancelled by NBC, after it’s first season and have since been begging for someone to bring the series back, with the cast from it’s one and only season. Fans have gone so far as starting a petition, that has already surpassed 50,000 signatures, in hopes that it will get the attention of a network. At the moment the rights to Constantine are owned by The El Rey Network, but there has been

The El Rey Network Has Acquired Constantine Along With Several Other Series

If you thought the El Rey Network couldn’t get any cooler, you were wrong! The Network, founded by filmmaker Robert Rodriguez, has just announced a handful of new acquisitions, including ‘Almost Human’, ‘The Twilight Zone’, ‘Freddy’s Nightmares’, ‘Human Target’, ‘V: The Series’, ‘Night Visions’ and, hold on to your seats, ‘Constantine’. Both ‘Constantine‘ and ‘Almost Human’ will debut on El Rey this November. The network is in the process of acquiring even more series as we speak. I know fans of ‘Constantine’ are very happy to hear this news. Fans took to social media in droves to vent their disappointment when NBC canceled the series after just one fantastic season. My hope is that El Rey will decide to pick up where NBC left off and continue the series that follows Constantine (Matt Ryan), a wizard/demon hunter. The series was based on the Hellblazer graphic novel by Garth Ennis and Warren Ellis. Constantine was created by Allen Moore and first

An Interview With Stuntman Andy Rusk

There are so many important components that make up shows and movies. The actors and actresses may be focus of our attention, but the stunt men and women create the action that we love so much. I had the opportunity to interview Andy Rusk, stunt man and the Assistant Stunt Coordinator for one of my favorite shows, NBC’s ‘Constantine’. Let me share our conversation with you. Photo by Nate Dorn KM “What inspired you to become a stunt man?” AR “I guess I was raised on television and action movies, and wanted to be a part of that industry from a young age without really knowing it. Growing up, I really wanted to be either Indian Jones or James Bond, but real archaeologists don’t swing from bullwhips and fight Nazis, and real spies don’t drive Aston Martins. The only place they do that stuff is in the movies, so that’s where I headed.” KM “What was your first stunt job?”
