Actor Keanu Reeves and director Francis Lawrence are re-teaming for a sequel to 2005’s DC Comics adaptation “Constantine” at Warner Bros. Pictures.
The original film grossed over $200 million and starred Reeves as the chain-smoking supernatural exorcist and demonologist John Constantine from the “Hellblazer” comics.
In that film, his attempts to help a woman (Rachel Weisz) sees him get caught up in the battle between heaven and hell. The archangel Gabriel (Tilda Swinton), and even Lucifer (Peter Stormare) all get involved. Shia LaBeouf, Djimon Hounsou and Gavin Rossdale also starred.
Akiva Goldsman will write the screenplay for the sequel and produce alongside Bad Robot’s J.J. Abrams and Hannah Minghella.
