Keanu Reeves speelt de hoofdrol in Constantine, de verfilming van de Hellblazer comics van Kevin Brodbin, Mark Bomback en Frank Capello. Latino-Review sprak met hem.

[eng]How familiar were you with the comic books and what did think about some of the changes, such as the fact it was changed from U.K. to U.S.?

"I wasn't familiar with the character before I read the script, and when the script came to me, that aspect of the character — being based in London and being English — had changed already. So I wasn't aware of that. When I read the script and then familiarized myself with the work, I saw that what was important was really the essence of Constantine, and we worked really hard to keep that aspect of it, because it's really what it's all about. That kind of hard-edged, hard-boiled, world-weary cynical, fatalistic, nihilistic, self-interested — with a heart. [laughs]. And I think we did. I mean I hope so. I hope that fans of the comic don't feel that we sabotaged something that is so well loved."[/eng]
