Later this month NBC will premiere "Constantine", a new series based on the characters appearing in the comic series "Hellblazer" published by DC Comics under their Vertigo imprint. The series will star actor Matt Ryan as John Constantine, as well as Harold Perrineau Jr., Lucy Griffiths and Charles Halford. Now we've got a new featurette to share with you that takes you behind the scenes for a first look at the premiere, with new footage and interviews with the cast and creators. I'm looking forward to giving "Constantine" a shot on October 24. How about you?
Constantine centers on master of the occult John Constantine (Matt Ryan), who struggles with his faith as he is haunted by the sins of his past and is suddenly thrust into the role of defending humanity from the gathering forces of darkness.
The "Constantine" pilot is executive produced by Daniel Cerone ("The Mentalist," "Dexter") and David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight films, Man of Steel). Neil Marshall (The Descent, "Game of Thrones") is directing from a teleplay by Daniel Cerone with story by Daniel Cerone and David S. Goyer. "Constantine" is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Warner Bros. Television and is based upon characters published by DC Entertainment.
"Constantine" airs Fridays at 10p.m. starting October 24 on NBC.
