[Movies] The Upcoming Movies Trailer Thread

Technically a TV trailer, but here's the preview for the NBC series Constantine.

Okay, I don't know if I'm just going crazy or something, but that looks pretty fucking awesome. I love the guy playing Constantine here. He FEELS like Constantine, accent and attitude and all.

But yeah, am I wrong in thinking this actually looks promising? Aside from the usual kinda shoddy TV special effects?

It looks like it has promise. The guy they have as Constantine looks like he'll deliver a good job. Let's just hope now that the writing of it is good and that our hopes aren't dashed by a bad show.

At the very least, it looks a hell of a lot better than Gotham does.

I think the feeling you're looking for is guarded optimism.

It does look good! But we've all been burned before... we'll have to wait and see.
 
Still too much of a Catholicism angle and not enough mysticism/magical bent and he probably won't be allow to smoke on screen, but there's potential there.

The main problem is it's on major network which means 1) It'll never be done properly, most of John's best stories are definitely for one reason or the other R-rated 2) They'll water down things so as not to 'offend' some folks. 3) Suits will get involved and start mucking up storylines and showing the initial episodes out of order.

Constantine not on a cable or 'premiere' network is just doomed, and that's a shame.

I'll enjoy what few episodes they're able to put out, though. They're at least trying.
 
It looks interesting and not entirely bland which was my concern when I heard that they were making a TV show.

But they should have kept the name; Hellblazer is a much better title.
 
Does the bible belt watch these types of shows anyway?

Buffy, Supernatural and the x-files and all of those shows which contain supernatural elements of the non-biblical aligned variety?

Because if just the name is enough to keep them away but the content isn't... what the heck?
 
Yeah, the trailer looks quite good actually but I honestly worry about if the show can do anything interesting with the comics storyline. I figure they will find a way to make it uninteresting so don't get your hopes up.

This is on the same channel that renewed Hannibal for season 3. The stuff they do on that show outdoes a lot of R-rated movies.
