Keanu Reeves to return as Constantine
Posted : November 20, 2006 Writer : Clint Morris
It may not have got tills ringing stateside, but overseas “Constantine” was quite the success – so much so that Warner Bros have announced a sequel, says IESB.net.
“Constantine was huge foreign, international, therefore, there is a good financial reason to make a sequel”, producer Lauren Schuler Donner tells the site. “And, I think we really want to do it as a hard R, I mean, really go into the Constantine world and do it even more justice than the movie, even though I thought the movie was true to its core. We have a terrific idea of the world we want to go into, it’s a nice, really terrifying world and Keanu [Reeves] is willing so we should do it!”
The sequel, which original director Francis Lawrence will only produce this time, will be set in a “Latin American country, I’ll say that, a South American country”, says Donner.

Despite the differences between it, and the comic, which I have to say is one of my favourites, I walked into the cinema thinking 'This is a film about a guy who just happens to have the same name as one of my favourite comic characters'
And on that basis, I was more than pleasantly surprised after that point :)
I for one will be awaiting a sequel eagerly :)
And it has more to do with the fact that I used to go out with a girl that looked like Tilda Swinton did in Constantine.. :)
