10 Recently Announced Movies That Will Probably Never Happen

10. Constantine 2

Though 2005's Keanu Reeves-starring comic book adaptation Constantine received mixed reviews and netted a so-so box office, it's picked up something of a cult following in recent years, surely in part due to Reeves' career resurgence courtesy of the John Wick franchise.

With the action series rejuvenating Reeves' box office viability after years of flops, Warner Bros. announced back in September that Constantine 2 was finally in active development, with Reeves set to return alongside original director Francis Lawrence.

It's certainly a cute idea, and Reeves has reiterated his desire to reprise the role of John Constantine countless times over the years, but given the sheer number of projects J.J. Abrams is attached to produce that never go anywhere, it isn't easy to be optimistic.

Plus, Lawrence was also recently announced to be helming Netflix's adaptation of BioShock and a biopic on the rock band Sublime, and if his upcoming Hunger Games prequel is a success, he'll no doubt be offered a fat payday to direct the sequel(s).

Constantine 2 could of course go ahead without Lawrence if Reeves was willing, but considering the original film came out almost 20 years ago and didn't exactly set the world alight then, is a sequel really going to get off the ground?

There's no way to make a good Constantine movie on the cheap, so Warner Bros. will need to jump in with both feet financially if they're truly committed to bringing this IP back to the big screen - which it's easy to doubt.
