Wow...sometimes clueless people can be very dangerous...They've been talking about making a movie based on the comic Hellblazer, called Constantine, which would be damned cool if done right.
But, for some reason the people who own the rights to it are stupid. John Constantine is a heavy drinking, chain smoking, foul mouthed, working class British sourcerer .
In the movie, they want to make him an American, which is just wrong. Europeans use vulgarity in the most poetic way. Americans, when they use vulgarity, are just vulgar.
But, there's more...First, they said they wanted Elviser, Nicolas Cage to pay him. Then, fans were happy when he pulled out. But, now, Keanu Reeves is threatening to portray Constantine. And the director is some guy who's previous work has been music videos for Britney Spears, Will Smith, Aerosmith, Pink and the Goo Goo Dolls, all music that would make John Constantine vomit and put a curse on whoever made him listen to it.
So, instead of following the trend of succesful comic book adaptations that have remained faithful to the source material, Warner or whoever seems fully dedicated to butchering this one.
