Keanu Says No to Constantine Sequel


Sci Fi Wire reports Keanu Reeves said he wouldn't take on the Constantine role for a sequel. "Not with me," Reeves said flatly when asked about it during an interview at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Reeves said that he liked the character and thought it was a well-rounded part, but that the film version of the Hellblazer series from DC/Vertigo comics wasn't enough of a moneymaker to warrant a sequel. The movie made $75 million domestically and more than double that overseas, but cost Warner Brothers about $100 million to make.

Is there any hope for Constantine 2? "No," Reeves said. "We didn't quite make it."

Meanwhile, Reeves said that he is excited about two other genre projects he has coming up. "I did a movie with Richard Linklater called A Scanner Darkly, which is a Philip K. Dick adaptation," Reeves said.
