Based on the DC Comics adult-targeted comic book Hellblazer, Constantine represents Keanu Reeves triumph in trying to land a lead role in a comic book movie. Reeves, who is a big fan of comic books and Tolkien, has been rumored to have been interested in playing Wolverine, the mysterious tough guy that was the centerpiece of X-Men, and Aragorn, the mysterious tough guy that is the best part of the Lord of The Rings trilogy. Reeves has settled on starring Constantine, the story of a mysterious tough guy with supernatural powers who investigates strange, and possibly other-worldly, happenings.
The project has been in development for a long time and seemed ready to go with Nicolas Cage as the title character and Tarsem Singh as the director. Singh's flair for visually captivating production would have been great for the project, but after he dropped out, Warner Bros. gave the project to another former music video director, Francis Lawrence. Cage later dropped out of the lead role and Reeves pounced on the opportunity.
As a comic book, Hellblazer was part of DC's adult line of comic books; featuring an Englishman with a flair for cursing and some truly bizarre storylines, Hellblazer seems destined for an R rating. But you never know how the big screen translation will pan out as one major change, the English character is now American, has been made. With Keanu on board, that might not have been a bad idea, after all. (Walid Habboub/BOP)
