Seventeen years ago, the dark comic book adaptation Constantine<\/em> hit theaters, starring Keanu Reeves as the titular demonologist and exorcist John Constantine. It made a small profit, but, sadly, a sequel was never greenlit, despite the movie gaining in popularity with a growing cult following after hitting home video. For the better part of two decades now, fans have been hoping against hope to see a sequel, but as the years passed, it seemed less and less likely. That’s why it was such a surprise when Deadline<\/a> broke the news this week that Warner Bros. has officially sent Constantine 2<\/em> into development with Keanu Reeves set to once again star. Francis Lawrence, the director of the original movie, is also returning to helm the sequel, with Akiva Goldsman, who was a producer on the first movie, penning the script. In the original, the chain-smoking Constantine is dying of cancer but staves off death in order to save his damned soul by agreeing to stop demons from escaping hell and wreaking havoc in the world. At the same time, he also finds himself caught in the middle of a heavenly war between Lucifer and Archangel Gabriel. It’s not known what the story of the sequel will revolve around, but at this point, fans don’t much care. They’re just happy to see John Constantine back in the saddle and back on the big screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bridgerton<\/em> has been one of Netflix’s biggest hits of the past few years, and another one of its stars is soon to make the jump to the big screen. Variety<\/a> broke the news that Jonathan Bailey, who plays Viscount Anthony Bridgerton, is set to join the Wicked <\/em>movie adaptation as Fiyero. Director Jon M. Chu shared Variety’s writeup along with a tweet gushing about his lead actor.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBridgerton’s Jonathan Bailey Set To Join Wicked Movie Adaptation As Fiyero<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
