Nailed it – Here's your first look at CONSTANTINE
DC seems to be busy this week revealing the looks of upcoming shows such as Gotham and The Flash. But there’s one other show on the horizon. A TV series about a con-man, a liar and a thief. And if you give him a chance, John Constantine could be a hero as well. When Constantine was first adapted back in …
David S. Goyer talks CONSTANTINE; says they start shooting this week, expect more characters from the comic
While I enjoyed Constantine as a standalone movie, as an adaptation it was rather un-magical. So many elements had been changed (hey, lets get Keanu to play this hard British bastard, only he’s no longer British!) that for most ardent fans of the Hellblazer comics, it felt like a voodoo powered slap in the face. That’s all set to change with …
Matt Ryan is going to be a hellblazer in CONSTANTINE
If ever there was one comic book property that was perfect for primetime TV, it had to be Hellblazer: John Constantine.

I don’t think there’s anyone here who isn’t keen on a Justice League movie. But I’m even more keen on a Justice League Dark movie from the Kaiju-obsessed mind of Guillermo Del Toro. All the supernatural heavyweights of the DC universe trading spells and hexes in one big film. Hell to the yes. But Del Toro might find himself a tad …
Top List Thursday – Devil On The Big Screen
Satan has appeared in his/her/its fair share of movies over the years. This occasionally sparks a debate about which was the best. But it never reaches quite the magnitude of Best Bond arguments, probably because, well, it’s the devil. They are all pretty badass in their own way, so instead of picking the best, how about handing out a …
Top List Thursday – Top 10 worst changes made in feature film adaptations
Inspired by World War Z‘s absolute abandonment of just about everything from its novel roots, I’ve decided to look at some adaptations today. Now I’m pretty lenient when it comes to sticking to your source. As a medium, film is a totally different animal to novels or videogames, and should be treated as such, but when filmmakers decide to beat that …
