At long last, Warner Bros. has set the date forConstantine’s resurrection on a very fitting day. After the announcement earlier this month thatKeanu Reeves’s hellbound exorcistwas finally getting a 4K Ultra HD upgrade, it’s now been announced that the new release will come out exactly on the 20th anniversary of the film’s theatrical release in the U.S. - August 03, 2025.Francis Lawrence’s feature DC/Vertigo Comics adaptation will be available to purchase either on a 4K Blu-ray disc with a normal or steelbook copy or digitally via the major online retailers. TheHunger Gamesdirector also directly oversaw the restoration process, further making this a release to watch out for in the new year.
Constantineis based on theHellblazergraphic novels, adapted into a script byKevin BrodbinandFrank Cappello. In the film, Reeves takes on the titular role of John Constantine,the demon hunter who’s been to hell and backand knows he’s doomed to return after a failed suicide attempt. Living on borrowed time with terminal lung cancer, he joins forces with skeptical policewoman Angela Dodson (Rachel Weisz) digging intoher twin sister’s (also Weisz)death, only to find there’s something much more sinister behind the case. Although she was said to have taken her life, Constantine and Angela find that ties into the world of angels and demons as part of a catastrophic plan that could doom the entire world. They have no choice but to intervene with the supernatural forces at play as they seek to find peace and lay the case to rest at last.
In addition to Reeves and Weisz, the cast is packed with star power around them, includingTilda Swinton,Djimon Hounsou,Shia LaBeouf,Peter Stormare, andGavin Rossdale. The immense talent on display wasn’t enough to fully endear critics to Lawrence’s directorial debut -Roger Ebert was particularly unamused- but audiences became enamored with the film despite its loose adaptation of the comics thanks to its unique visual design to its performances and the unique blend of theology and noir. Fans have long hoped for a sequel that would continue John’s story and, finally,those prayers are being answered as well. ProducerLorenzo di Bonaventurashared last month thatAkiva Goldsman’s script was writtenand he was preparing to read it. Coinciding with the 4K release, Lawrencealso told ComicBook.comthat work has been underway for some time and the team wanted to do a “real R-rated sequel.” We’re still a ways off from seeing Reeves’s demon hunter again, but things are moving in the right direction.
