That's Constantine. He's not a hard character to nail a costume for or anything but I like how recognizable he is. I think Constantine/ Hellblazer will translate much better to a television series than many of the other comic book based shows in production right now.
They're not too far off I feel but wasn't Constantine just a bit older...grittier lines on his face, his clothes worn & unkempt looking like he smelled of old cigarettes & sipping whiskey...this guy looks like a fratboy version of Connie.....but yeah they're in the ballpark....Neo Constantine w/an American accent didn't work for me either might as well take any guy off the street & call him Connie....NBC? I'm not betting on gritty or close to the source material...I need demons & plenty of lunacy & cocknied expletives that would make the queen mother blush....
Well, one of the interesting things with the Hellblazer series was that Constantine pretty much aged in real time so he started off much younger than we typically see him now. He was closer to 35 when the series began and aged over time until he was in his 60's. He also definitely became more rumpled and gritty over time, so perhaps that will change over time as well. Could be used as a character development kind of thing.
When we first learned that Director: David Gordon Green would be talking over the iconic Halloween franchise, my thoughts could best be described as skeptical at best. How was the guy that brought us Pineapple Express going to bring Michael Myers home again? Also where did Danny McrBride fit it in? Would Blumhouse and Green do the un-thinkable by allowing McBride to dawn the mask, and having the world famous physical comedian wield who knows what as his weapon of choice? Find out the answer to these, and many other questions after the break in our Halloween review....
