Keanue Reeves Talks 'Constantine'

[Friday, November 28th, 2003]
Keanu Reeves has been speaking with SciFi-Wire about his new movie Constantine. He talks about how director Francis Lawrence is approaching the movie. "He's bringing a real film noir sense to it, which I think is really suitable for the character and the story."

The movie is based on the DC/Vertigo Hellblazer comicbook series, although Keanu says that he will be working more from the script than the comics. "In terms of referencing the graphic novels, I've sourced them a little bit," he said. "I looked more at the shapes of the drawings and character and kind of just connected to his primal point of view."

Keanu adds, "We have to make a film, and we have to tell a story. Certainly through the experience right now, I'm really enjoying the character, and hopefully we'll make a good film that's really going to dictate whether or not we continue telling stories about him, if people respond to the story."

Constantine is expected to hit theaters September 17th next year.
