The unique Constantine film was launched in 2005 and grossed a good $230.9 million on a $70-100 million finances. The film discovered Constantine serving to an LAPD detective (Rachel Weisz) show that her sister’s loss of life wasn’t a suicide however was, the truth is, one thing rather more sinister.
Director Francis Lawrence is ready to return for the sequel, and he’s beforehand stated he’d wish to develop Constantine 2 with an R-rating in thoughts. “One of many largest issues for me in regards to the first one was we adopted, per Warner Bros., the principles to make a PG-13 film by way of violence, blood, language, sexuality,” Lawrence stated. “However the scores board gave us a tough R based mostly on their the grey zone of depth. And my massive, massive remorse was that we’ve got an R-rated film that’s actually a PG-13 film. And if I used to be going to must go have an R, I might have actually made an R-rated film. I might have made it a lot scarier and rather more violent and I might have actually made an R-rated film. The concept is that this time, not less than for me, is to essentially go at it and make an actual R-rated Constantine which is, I believe, what folks all the time needed initially, not the PG-13 model that simply occurs to get an R.“
