On February 18th, Keanu Reeves dons the mantle of John Constantine, the popular comic book anti-hero of the HELLBLAZER series. 

 

At war with the powers of Heaven, Hell, and all the realms inbetween, Constantine is out to find a way to redemption, even after he has committed an Unforgivable Sin.

Reeves, who gives a surprising and well-constructed performance despite major changes to the settings of the books,  wants to come back as Constantine, as long as the audience likes what he's done so far:"My contract didn't have a second film in it.  But myself and some of the producers and Francis Lawrence fell in love with the guy.  I fell in love with the guy.  I had one of the best times I've ever had working on this project.  So we would talk about 'What could we do? What happens to Constantine?'  You know, we'd think, 'He's a heroin addict in Morocco, and he's got this spell, and he's killing people, but he's trying not to kill people, so he keeps knocking himself out.  Then [producer] Akiva Goldsman was like, 'No!  He wants to stop Revelations'.  We'd do these kinds of things.  Ultimately, it's up to the audience.  That would mean that the studio would have the resources to go forward with it.  I would love to play Constantine again as long as I worked with the same people, definitely Francis Barnes and Akiva Goldsman, and everyone involved in this project because I could not imagine doing this without them."
