The real reason is that Keno Reeves Constantine 2 takes a long time

The 2005 Francis Lawrence movie “Constantine” was not well reviewed when it came out for the first time. Some critics admired the film, and he praised many Petter Stormari’s performance as a devil, but like many critics (including Jack Matthews in New York Daily NewsHe criticized the film for being a painful traditional movement/fantasy murder. “Constantine” was also not noticeable at the box office, where he recorded $ 200 million worldwide with a budget of $ 100 million (which, according to Hollywood accounting, is not great).

The film was based on the “Hellblazer” cartoons, which was published by the DC imprint directed towards the adults, and many fans in the movie “Lawrence” ultimately arrived. Worship has grown. In 2022, Warner Bruce found that the influence of the original film had grown to the point where It can be officially announced.

“Constantine 2” is now in the pre -production stage for three years. /An updated movie was shown in September 2023And the film was suspended due to the book strike. Screenwriter Akifa Goldsman said that he and Reeves reached a story, but an actual scenario has not been written yet. The “Constantine 2” strike is likely to wait for at least a year. Then there was also the issue of the new James Gan world, which was operated in DC Caricature, which would first appear with “Superman” later this year. Because John Constantine is a caricature in the capital, some quarrels are likely to have happened with Gon and his crew.

Another big reason for delay is that Keanu REEVES, which is devoted to redirecting his role as Constantine, does not like any of the textual programs. Live recently spoke with Stormare About the movie, and he had slim. It seems that all text programs so far have been a very way, and this is not what is going on in Reeves’s mind.

Oh yes, not to bury Lady: It seems that Stormare will already return to Lucifer. The deadline also mentioned In February 2025, Reeves and Lawrence (similarly returned) to put a new idea to Warner Bruce, so the process is still heading. No text was manifested.

We will see the amount of creative freedom that Reeves and Lawrence will get. Stormare indicated in his direct interview that the large studios have a bad tendency to “strengthen” sequences, even if there is no justification. As he put it, Warner Bruce wanted “cars flying in the air. They want to make people turn the scenes and scenes of the movement.” While “Constantine” had battles with demons, it was not a kind of films. Most themes were spiritual, and John Constantine was a tranquilized sarcastic of cancer who attached to the evil signs, and not a hard tuna piercing people in the face. Reeves, 61, this year, does not need another series of work such as “The Matrix” or “John Wick” in his CV. He wants to be different. Storm theory:

“I think Keanu says,” John Wake did. We talked about it.

This is a sound theory, as anyone who pays attention to Hollywood seems to know how studios and executives tend to think. Repeat a profitable formula, add popular entertainment. Dour, Satan films that the character drives are not suitable for this template.

Stormare said that WB wanted to look more traditional demonic, with centuries and tail. In Lawrence, Lucifer appears as an ordinary human being wearing a white suit and there is no neck. Stormare’s performance was the one who made a demonic character, not make -up. For this reason, he realizes that studios can feel nervous from a growing drama around a wounded talisman in his sixties. Stormare knows that Reeves wants to explore John Constantine as a character, and see what is happening to a man who knows that he goes beyond the sacred redemption. Nobody wants to be a high -octane super film. Stormare said:

“It turns into a movement movie, not like deeper and deeper in the characters. I think he wants to do his personality again, Constantine, as he was in the first movie.

Of course, this is all the information used, and Stormare admitted that it is “rumors”. What we can collect is that Reeves is actually “selective”, while making sure that the film may show the way it desires. Lawrence is famous for ambitious films of “I am a legend”, four of “Hunger Games”, and later come in 2025, “Long Walk”, based on a story by Stephen King. There is no doubt that he and Reeves will include a lot of demonic work in their movie. However, it will be told time if this thing is made at all.
