Keanu Reeves as Constantine

[Hevn]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B]I'm curious about "Constantine". Now I don't know much about Hellblazers. I don't know John Constantine. But I know Keanu Reeves.

I just saw the preview of Constantine. Stars Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz (The Mummy). From the information I read a while ago I learned that it is based from a comic entitled Hellblazer. It is set to show sometime next year, around February I think. It is sort of like the Exorcist or an occultist movie but with more action (and fantasy I think).

Now what I'm curious about is Reeves taking the role of Constantine. I heard the real Constantine is supposed to be a mage, former punk, or a savior of an unknown universe. A nice guy when people are looking but really a bastard and womanizer and all those bad stuff. No superpowers. Only sharp wit and little magic. And he's British and blonde. Ok that's enough description.

I shouldn't really judge Mr. Reeves only from the [URL=http://www.insanerantings.com/hell/movie/trailer.html][U]trailer[/U][/URL], but really, he didn't seem like the description said above. Sure he's gorgeous in the outfit and all but Keanu doesn't feel like Constantine at all. Definitely not British and not blonde. And it seems like he's still playing Neo. Some dude even said it looks like Matrix 4 with Christian metaphysics... and I think I sort-of agree. Some say he shouldn't be the one playing the role since he's not British. I also think he's too good looking to portray a "bastard".

I'm wishing for it to turn out great though. What do you guys think?[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

I totally agree! It's as if the trailer was edited by the same persons who worked on the Matrix Trilogy. Are the producers are cashing in on his "Neo" image?
Hrmm... probably, but that didn't work for Viggo Mortensen's [I]Hidalgo[/I] now, did it?

Hmm... yes. Though he was able to portray a hacker dead to the social world, I think his "bastard" look is tad too nice and well-groomed.
