Early on within the growth of the unique Constantine film, Warner Bros. was going to take the movie in a special path with the star of the movie. At one level, Nicolas Cage was hooked up to play John Constantine, not Keanu Reeves.
Cage was hooked up to the venture when director Tarsem Singh was creating the movie for the studio. Director Francis Lawrence defined in an interview with Discussing Movie:
“Truly, Keanu was already on earlier than I used to be. So this was a case the place it had been in growth for some time, I feel there was even one other director earlier than me. I feel Tarsem [Singh] was going to do it at one level earlier than me with Nicolas Cage or one thing after which that fell aside. Then they bought Keanu to play it.”
It’s not laborious to think about Cage within the function of Constantine, actually, I feel he would‘ve been nice. However, I positively wouldn’t commerce him in for Keanu. Keanu was freakin’ superior within the function and it’s tremendous thrilling that we’re going to get to see him play the character once more in spite of everything these years!
The sequel was introduced final week and the followers are insanely enthusiastic about what this sequel will ship!
What are your ideas on Nic Cage nearly being solid as John Constantine?
