Director Francis Lawrence told ShockTillYouDrop today at the I Am Legend junket that he would love to helm a Constantine sequel. He said that the sequel will depend on them finding the right story.
In a one-on-one interview with ShockTillYouDrop, Lawrence added a follow-up could be a sequel or a prequel. “I like origin stories, that would be cool. What worked for me is the film came from the ‘Dangerous Habits’ storyline - he had cancer and he was dying. To me that was the core of the story. It’s why the movie works for me, because the story couldn’t be more personal. People have thrown concepts around [for a sequel] and I go ‘Why does he give a f**k?’ In the first film he’s trying to save his own skin. Everything else, you can come up with these stories where he goes to different lands and fight the bad guys or witch doctors, but I think it all falls flat. Until someone comes up with a great idea, whether it’s earlier [in his life] or later, we’ll just have to see.”
2005’s Constantine, which starred Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz, Tilda Swinton, Gavin Rossdale, Djimon Hounsou, Shia LaBeouf and Peter Stormare, earned $230.8 million worldwide.
Based on the DC Comics/Vertigo “Hellblazer” graphic novels, the film starred Reeves as John Constantine, who was born with the ability to recognize the half-breed angels and demons that walk the earth in human camouflage. Constantine was driven to take his own life to escape the tormenting clarity of his vision. But he failed.
Resuscitated against his will, he found himself cast back into the land of the living where he patrols the earthly border between heaven and hell, hoping in vain to earn his way to salvation by waging war on the earthbound minions of evil.
Here are some local san francisco times
Awake
Rated R, 1 hr 18 min
Showtimes: 12:00, 2:20, 5:00, 7:20, 10:00
Here is the trailer
The always-in-demand (booked out for the next couple of years I hear) Samuel L.Jackson will star in and produce “Man That Rocks the Cradle”.
Apparently Rebecca DeMornay isn’t involved. Nor Matt McCoy.
This unfortunately titled flick evolves around an overworked husband and father of four who decides the solution to all his problems is a live-in nanny. Jackson will play the nanny, Marion Delacroix, a reputed “kid whisperer” from the South.
New Line - the “Snakes on a Plane” crowd – are behind the motioned pictorial.
Interestingly, Variety also confirms in the same story Jackson’s cameo in “Iron Man”… so much for keeping that one a secret hey?
Dark Castle isn’t finished this evening as John Cusack (1408) has signed on to star in The Factory, a psychological thriller for Dark Castle to be distributed by Warner Bros. Morgan O’Neill, a winner of the Australian “Project Greenlight,” co-wrote the script and is directing the feature. Cusack will play an obsessed cop who, with his partner, is on the trail of a serial killer prowling the streets of Buffalo, N.Y. When his teenage daughter disappears, the cop drops any professional restraint and goes all out to get the killer. O’Neill wrote “Factory” with Paul Leyden, an Australian actor who starred in “As the World Turns” and “LAX.” The movie is slated to go before cameras in January.
The new Empire magazine cover (January 2008 issue) featuring Heath Ledger as The Joker in The Dark Knight. Warner Bros. will release the Batman Begins follow-up on July 18.
