25 Awesome Things To (Still) Look Forward To In 2014

23. Constantine

Why Get Excited? The general consensus among fans of Vertigo€™s Hellblazer series is that the occult adventures of supernatural gumshoe, John Constantine, haven€™t yet been faithfully realised on film. Thankfully, NBC looks to have exorcized the demons of 2005€™s less than stellar cinematic outing with this intriguing adaptation. All the early signs for Constantine are good; there€™s some decent casting in place €“ Welsh actor Matt Ryan looks to be a good fit in the titular role €“ the pilot has been directed by Neil Marshall, and Batman scribe, David S Goyer, is overseeing events in an exec producer role. Devilishly promising. When€™s It Out? Constantine is set to air in late October and you can check out the trailer below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPE2oBnzROY
