Warner Bros. and producer J.J. Abrams are teaming up to bring back Keanu Reeves as Constantine in a new live-action movie for HBO Max.

Sources say Warner Bros. wants to use HBO Max to build up the Justice League Dark before producing a big-budget Avengers-style movie.

We’ll let you know when we hear more.

Keanu Reeves first played John Constantine in I Am Legend director Francis Lawrence’s 2005 version co-starring Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf, Tilda Swinton, Djimon Hounsou, Gavin Rossdale, and Peter Stormare.

Written by Kevin Brodbin and Frank Cappello, it centers on suicide survivor and demon hunter John Constantine who has literally been to hell and back — and he knows that when he dies, he’s got a one-way ticket to Satan’s realm unless he can earn enough goodwill to climb God’s stairway to heaven. While helping policewoman Angela Dodson investigate her identical twin’s apparent suicide, Constantine becomes caught up in a supernatural plot involving both demonic and angelic forces. Based on the DC/Vertigo “Hellblazer” comics.

Rated R for violence and demonic images, the film sports a 46% approval rating over on Rotten Tomatoes with a Critics Consensus that reads: Despite solid production values and an intriguing premise, Constantine lacks the focus of another spiritual shoot-em-up: The Matrix.

Ep. 346 Strange Darling: “The Tale of Serial Killer Punch Cards, Part 2”
Kim tells Ket Part 2 of Strange Darling. Quick question, what do people use those horizontal industrial fridges for if not to store dead bodies? Ket stayed 100% alive in part 1, for the first time in episode history! (Because there were no questions asked or points totaled.) No doubt she does JUST as well in the back half! Most importantly, we’ll learn if Ket will live or die in Strange Darling.Writer/Dir.

Ket tells Kim the rest of Smile 2. Listen, I sincerely hope that you have all put your fast pants on and haven’t borrowed any pants from either of Ket’s life partners, Kim OR Arik, because they only wear slow pants. We’ve also discovered something Kim should NOT include on her resUme and that’s “creepy smiling.” She’s too cute. Most importantly, we’ll learn if Kim will live or die in Smile 2.Writer/Dir.
