Based upon the characters from DC Comics and executive produced by Daniel Cerone (Dexter) and David S Goyer (Man of Steel, The Dark Knight films), Constantine reflects the lore of the fan-favorite comic, combining noirish storytelling with the evolving mythology of John Constantine (Matt Ryan, The Tudors), a morally challenged character who doesn’t come down on the side of either good or evil … but ultimately might be the only thing defending us against the dark forces from beyond.
Flicks And The City had the chance to sit down with the cast and creators of Constantine at San Diego Comic Con.
Check out our videos below to see what happened, and don’t forget to catch Constantine when it premieres in October 2014!
Executive Producers David S Goyer & Daniel Cerone talk about the edgy and scary tone of Constantine, not wanting to water down the edgy nature of Hellblazer, Constantine’s smoking and drinking vices are in the show, the appeal of Constantine, Constantine as a master of improv, which characters they’re looking forward to bringing into the show from Hellblazer and beyond, and introducing Papa Midnite to the audience.
