Looking for the express out of hell.
Comingsoon.Net was lucky enought to get Keanu Reeves
to spill a little bit on Constantine
and the possibility of a sequel.
A Constantine Sequel
While it is still all too early to tell if there will be a sequel to Constantine
[especially after early negative buzz], Keanu Reeves is still more than
willing to entertain the idea. After being asked about a second film by
Comingsoon.Net, Reeves answers with some of the following:
"You know, my contract didn't have a second film, but myself and some of the producers and Francis Lawrence, the director, and I certainly would... because we fell in love with the guy. I fell in love with the guy," said Reeves. "I had one of the best times I'd ever had working on a film working on this particular project. So, we would talk about what could we do? What happens to Constantine? He's a heroin addict in Morocco. He's got a spell, he's killing people and he's trying not to kill people so he's knocking himself out. Then Akiva Goldsman was like, 'No, he wants to stop Revelations.' So we would do these kinds of things and ultimately it is up to the audience because that would mean that the studio would have resources to go forward with it. But I would love to play Constantine again as long as I worked with the same people. I mean, definitely Francis Lawrence and Akiva Goldsman and everyone involved in this project because I could not imagine doing this with not everyone involved. But I love playing the guy."

Well, I hope that Keanu Reeves is correct. After seeing just about every
clip, every still, and every trailer for Constantine, I have to
say that I'm pretty hyped for this film. I now hope that the initial early
buzz [search 'negative constantine' here] is wrong. For movie trailers,
movie stills, clips, and synopsis, go to the Constantine
