Constantine General Discussion Thread

[The Englishman]

Yes it can still come over to England at certain points. Elementary has done it and I remember Bones doing it for a couple of episodes too....

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

What can I say about Matt Ryan that hasn't been said already? He looks utterly perfect.

 

[LaughingMage]

Yep John is a regular globetrotter in the comics but London is his main turf.

John in NYC usually means a clash with Papa Midnite as that is his turf.


I agree.

Hopefully they can do a season finale or season opener in London like Elementary did.

Depends, in the current series he's gone to New York after Sargon the Sorceress and the Cold Flame put a geas on him that turns London literally deadly to him. He gets poisoned now everytime he sets foot into cities limits.

I pray they won't borrow from the New 52 tripe

 

[Paradox1]

Any info of this existing in the same universe as Flash and Arrow?

 

[Sawyer]

All WB-produced, but being on different networks probably means no.

Which I don't mind too much, honestly. It's not like I'd be clamoring for a Flash/Constantine crossover or anything.

 

[Silvermoth]

Do you know what other place that weird supernatural stuff would happen on a fairly regular basis?? London/England!!

I know what you mean. London would be amazing plus liverpool, one of my favourite non capital cities in the world!

That said, I understand why they're doing this in America. It saves money and gets more American viewers

 

[Primal Slayer]

Im betting this will probably get the firday night slot to along with Grimm

 

[Sawyer]

God, I hope not. I'm fine with Hannibal being there, because I feel like it's protected by whatever deal NBC has with it's production company, but I'd much rather Constantine not be dropped in that slot from Day 1.

 

[LegacyRaptor]

Can anyone identify that jacket? Its really spot on.

 

[tecnowraith]

I can't for this pilot to air and I live in Georgia near the production so knows what I will see on the streets.

Rumoured pilot plot points have been posted on ShockUntilYouDrop

Spoiler

The pilot takes place in and around New York City (which I don't think has been known about until now).

When we first find John, we learn he has voluntarily checked himself into a psychiatric clinic. He's haunted by an incident in which he lost a 9-year-old girl to a demon who has dragged her soul to hell. This incident has a
significant impact on his life and it's hat is driving him. He checks himself out of the hosptial after six months to find something sinister is afoot in the realm of the supernatural.

John's a clever wise-ass. His business card reads "Exorcist, Demonologist and Master of the Dark Arts," but as he tells his doctor, he should replace "master" with "petty dabbler" because he hates to put on airs. He also doesn't like to talk much about his past; he masks his emotions with wry humor.

We won't see John in his classic trenchcoat right away, but he gets there.
An angel – Manny – has been assigned to John to help ease his soul into damnation. John hates angels.

Liv Parsons, a young woman who works at a rental car facility, gets caught up in John's world when she discovers something is after her. Liv's deceased father, Jasper, knew John and John owes a debt to him.

Papa Midnite – an imposing Cuban man who can dream the future – is ailing when we first find him. He's doing a lot of cocaine because he has to stay awake.

Expect to meet "Chaz," John's driver who is a tall, sensitive, quiet type yet is quite knowledgeable about the supernatural himself.

The pilot is brimming with possessions, ghosts (Liv discovers a way to see the dead) and demons and the story does an adept job at not losing its audience in the mythology. Liv is our conduit to John's world of rituals, pendants, black magic and more and it handles the exposition well.

The foundation is set for a long-lasting partnership between Liv and John. Now that she's aware of the world beyond ours, she wants to use her knowledge to help others. But is John willing to assist her?

 

[Sawyer]

Sounds good to me.

 

[Jason Kane]

Going by the last part, it sounds to me Liv's a bit of Angie and a bit of Gemma

 

[Pickleweasel]

Plot details sound good, I have high hopes for this show

Sounds great!

 

[Rodrigo90]

Michelle Ryan for Zatanna?

 

[rogue trooper]

An appearance by Jason Blood would be most appropriate and awesome!

Maybe James Purefoy in the role

or Damian Lewis

 

[Gee]

Michelle Ryan for Zatanna?

Spoiler

I like this idea.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I think she has everything nailed down for that role

At NBC, the McG-directed Mysteries of Laura starring Debra Messing as a homicide detective and mother of twins is garnering early buzz as is comic book-based Constantine.

 

[TheVileOne]

The new Constantine looks like CM Punk.
