John Constantine could be in trouble.

The self-professed Master of the Dark Arts can hold his own against demons and hellish threats, but television ratings may spell his doom. Despite building a loyal fanbase and providing viewers with a compelling lead, the series about the magical anti-hero and his supernatural exploits hasn't pulled in the type of numbers that guarantee it a second season. And so, with only three episodes left in its first season -- and possibly forever -- the NBC show's writers aren't holding anything back.

Executive producer Daniel Cerone spoke with CBR News about what is yet to come on NBC's "Constantine," including the series' take on Eclipso's black diamond, the return of Jim Corrigan and Papa Midnite, wrapping up Zed's story and more. Cerone also discusses his hopes for being able to return to deal with the question of Doctor Fate's helmet, and the show's abandoned plans to adapt the iconic "Dangerous Habits" storyline from "Hellblazer." Plus, he weighs in with his opinion on whether Guillermo del Toro should be eying Matt Ryan to bring the antihero mage to the big screen in "Justice League Dark" -- strictly from a fan's viewpoint, of course.

CBR News: As you're heading into the home stretch for "Constantine," how happy have you been with what you accomplished in its first, truncated season?

Daniel Cerone: We're really happy with what the show has grown into. In the first three or four episodes, we were trying to find a tone for the show that worked for us, that honored the source material, and that also made our studio and network partners happy. Whenever you have all those different parties to address, it sometimes takes time to find the right balance. Three or four episodes in, when we feel like we hit our stride -- from there, we've just been having a blast.

Our biggest challenge is that we had a full 22-episode season mapped out on the board in the writers' room. When we got the word that there would not be an official back nine, that our first season would end at 13, we definitely had to jump in and say, "Alright -- what can we move around?" We knew what we wanted to reveal, dramatically, so we found a way to pull some of those reveals earlier.

How challenging was it, weaving in characters and story points from the "Hellblazer" comic books?

It hasn't been challenging. We had such an embarrassment of riches with those comic books. I'm literally just leaving playback right now for episode 12. We utilize a black diamond which has an iconic mythology around that in the DC Universe. We did our version of [Eclipso's] black diamond. Yes, we use the mythology as an inspiration for that episode. It's fun.

Some writers lean more into the comics than others. Cameron Welsh wrote episode 4, which was the hunger demon episode, and was straight from early "Hellblazer." He wrote our season finale also. One of the storylines from that comes from "The Family Man," which is also early "Hellblazer." For the most part, most of us were fans of the comics prior to joining the writing staff. To be able to take something that you naturally love and play around with it is a dream come true for a writer.

Initially, the series received some flack about Constantine not smoking, but he had a cigarette in hand fairly early on. Was that always the plan or the result from feedback?

It was always our intention to be true to the character as a smoker. Also, eventually we wanted to play the repercussions of that smoking as the comic did so brilliantly with "Dangerous Habits." That's definitely an arc we'd like to tackle if we have the opportunity.

The initial plan was to open a scene with him stubbing out a cigarette or maybe you end a scene with him lighting up. With every episode, we get looser and looser. If you went through and watched all the episodes, you can almost track the progression. Two or three episodes in, Constantine has a cigarette in his hand, but he's not smoking it. In the next episode, we come into scene and he's got a cigarette hanging out of his mouth for his first few lines. He's not puffing or inhaling, but it's hanging out of his mouth. The deeper we get into it, the less of an issue it becomes. Again, he's not puffing deeply through every scene, but a cigarette in his hand, or cigarette in his mouth, is commonplace on our show now.

Zed's crazy family history has been touched on. How much of her story will be resolved in the final three episodes?

We had planned to dig much deeper into that when we had the full season to do so. That arc kind of closes itself off in episode 11. We couldn't pursue it past 11. We just didn't have the geography. We draw on the fact Zed has this unhealthy relationship with her father. That is a storyline we fully intend to honor. When we brought Zed in, it was with the full intention to play out that storyline that we see early in "Hellblazer," where she's still the Chosen One, and she's still wanted by that religious faction to be their Virgin Mary or whatever it is they want with her.

For an angel, Manny has a bit of an attitude. What are we going to learn about him and his role in the bigger picture?

John is a bit of a dick, too. We like that relationship between them, because Manny gives as good as he gets, as does John. When we came up with this concept of having a mysterious angel in John's life, with his own agenda, we knew that couldn't be a soft character. We also didn't want it to be a real heavy. We wanted to make him interesting. We wanted him to have some soul and some compassion. At first, he definitely comes in and he's tough with John and he challenges him.

Again, I'm leaving playback for episode 12. Matt Ryan came and we were both watching it together. We were just laughing the whole time. That might be our most lighthearted episode, and it's all because of the Manny arc.

Basically, John gets a little sick and tired of Manny being a dick, of flying in and out, and not really helping out. John performs some magic that grounds Manny in the mortal body of a doctor. Manny is on a seat at John's side pretty much for the whole episode. He just has a hysterical arc. It's great to see Harold Perrineau's colors come out and to see his range. And heading into episode 13, there will be some revelations.

"A Whole World Out There" sees the return of Ritchie Simpson. What's he been up to?

Ritchie Simpson has been living in fear. He's very true to when we met him in the pilot. He's really given into that fear and he's slowly been disappearing from society. The whole idea of Ritchie disappearing into a computer, as he does in "Hellblazer," was the inspiration for episode 11.

On your earlier question of using source material, we definitely tackle that in our own way. It inspired our own storyline. Ritchie is basically looking for an escape plan. He knows the Darkness is coming, that there's an apocalypse coming, or at least he feels it. He's creating his escape plan, and that that's kind of the genesis of that episode.

"Waiting for the Man" is the season finale. How epic do things get?

We turn over some pretty big cards. Just being candid, it was a bit of a retrofit. There were some things we were building towards, but we wanted to leave our fans with a fulfilling season and really set them up for everything we want to do. This episode does that. It was nice that it was so heavily influenced by a "Hellblazer" issue. It also brings back Jim Corrigan and Papa Midnite. It was a great opportunity to bring several storylines to a head.

There are so many incarnations of Corrigan and the Spectre in the comics. How do you approach a character that has often been portrayed as one of the most powerful beings in the DC Universe?

Well, that's the rub. We love being part of the origin story of Jim Corrigan and the Spectre. At what point we would actually turn him, we're not even sure. Once he's turned, you definitely have a character that has been portrayed as essentially being all-powerful and unstoppable. There's not always a lot of dramatic potential in that.

Right now, we're just enjoying setting up his character. We're enjoying this secret that we know about him. As revealed through Zed, she has visions that Corrigan is going to die. She has to figure out what it means. If there are more seasons of the show, there definitely will be a destination. At that time, we'll figure out how powerful we'll make him. Like any character, he won't be instantly formed. Even if we do turn him, it will be a continuing journey to figure out what he is and how much power he has.

Ratings were up last week. Are you feeling good about the possibility of a second season?

I can't speculate. All I can say is, I continue to be humbled by NBC's continuing belief in the show. We're a little surprised ratings haven't been as strong as we would have liked, and they would have liked, yet they are sticking with us. You just have to look at the list of shows that have been cancelled. If the ratings start dropping, they essentially pull it and put reruns of "Shark Tank." I'm not joking. The fact that NBC is staying with us, and are excited about us, and still talking about another season is all we can ask for. After that, it's up to viewers, and us attracting viewers.

It's hard. It's a frustrating experience because we all live tweet. Half the time, we're all together doing it. We have such an incredible media presence and we're such a heavily streamed show. The fanbase is out there, they are just not watching in the manner that is as financially rewarding to a major broadcast network. That's the biggest frustration for us and NBC. We'll see where we end up at the end of the season.

Hypothetically, if there is another season, where would you like to see it go?

The most honest way to answer that is, we'd like the show to go deeper into John Constantine. That's what we like to write the most. I think we received some justifiable criticism in the beginning, that we were bit episodic, a bit monster-of-the-week. As we got into the season, we were able to introduce characters and be able to start character and story arcs, and moved towards living more in the world of John Constantine. That's what the show is. That's what the comic book is. That's what people signed on for. Our goal is to really explore the character.

We never did get a Doctor Fate episode.

Yeah, we had a good Doctor Fate storyline that we would still use, that there is still plenty of room for. We were utilizing the helmet -- there wasn't a Fate appearance planned in that episode. We had a big storyline built around the helmet. We've all been playing around with, "Okay, what does the helmet do and how do we use it?" Once we shot the pilot, it would have been wrong to show it and not use it. It was always our intention to play it off by the end of the season.

Lastly, any thoughts on Guillermo del Toro making Constantine a central figure in his "Justice League Dark" movie? Would you like to see Matt Ryan up on the big screen?

I would have to answer that question purely as a fan. They are not coming to us. We don't have any inside information. I'm sure Guillermo would do whatever he'd like to do. Obviously, we'd love to see Matt Ryan as Constantine. He's been widely praised. If you look at the feedback for the show, it's generally been positive, but I haven't seen anyone who has ever taken to task Matt's portrayal of Constantine. We bought a lot of early credit on the fact that we were presenting a real and honest Constantine. The bottom line is, it would be great to see him in that role.

"Constantine" de la NBC se pone Oscura cuando Debute el Diamante de Eclipso
Por Stephen Gerding 30/01/15


Though plans to showcase Doctor Fate's helmet in the first season of NBC's "Constantine" were thwarted when the network cut the number of episodes ordered, series Executive Producer Daniel Cerone tells CBR News that another of the DC Universe's iconic items will make its presence known before the season wraps.

"We had such an embarrassment of riches with those comic books," Cerone told CBR with regard to bringing elements from the comics into the television show. "I'm literally just leaving playback right now for episode 12. We utilize a black diamond which has an iconic mythology around that in the DC Universe. We did our version of the black diamond. Yes, we use the mythology as an inspiration for that episode."

The gem, known as the Heart of Darkness in DC Comics continuity, was mined on the planet known as Apokalips as a weapon for the evil New God known as Darkseid. Eventually, a demonic presence known as Eclipso took up residence in the diamond, utilizing human hosts to exert its desires on the population. The synopsis for the episode, titled "Angels and Ministers of Grace," makes no reference to the diamond, nor do any of the characters listed on IMDB directly correspond to any of Eclipso's comics aliases.

Of course, while Cerone's comments are the first time the DC artifact has been called out as having an impact on the show's plot, its existence as part of "Constantine's" mythology was revealed prior to the first episode airing.

"There are a lot of Easter eggs. There's all sorts of things in John Constantine's lair," Goyer told a room full of fans at last year's New York Comic Con. "There are dozens of them that are little trinkets that you'll find in the DC Universe. Eclipso's black diamond is in there."

As we mentioned earlier, the most famous of these 'trinkets' is Doctor Fate's helm, which has been teased since Liv picked it up in the pilot episode. And while nothing will come of it in the truncated first season, it was planned for the show to dive into its mythology. "We were utilizing the helmet -- there wasn't a Fate appearance planned in that episode. We had a big storyline built around the helmet," Cerone told CBR. "We've all been playing around with, 'Okay, what does the helmet do and how do we use it?' Once we shot the pilot, it would have been wrong to show it and not use it. It was always our intention to play it off by the end of the season."

For more on what to expect from the final episodes of "Constantine's" first season, and what had to be cut due to the shortened order, check out our full interview with Daniel Cerone.

Daniel Cerone sobre cómo la serie está encontrando su paso, la serie The Claymation y por qué no hay planes para Swamp Thing
Por Russ Burlingame 31/01/2015


There are just two episodes left of NBC's Constantine this season and last night, just hours before the show's eleventh episode aired on the East Coast, executive producer and co-creator Daniel Cerone spoke with us from where he was watching composer Bear McCreary (also known for his work on The Walking Dead and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) compose a live orchestra to score for the finale.

We touched on a few topics, with Cerone reiterating how pleased he is to have NBC as a partner on the project; he noted more than once that shows with similar numbers to Constantine have been pulled off the air in the past, and that he's confident it has been allowed to run the course of its thirteen episodes because even though they didn't order a back nine, NBC likes the show and wants to see it come back next season.

We also touched on the hows and whys of the show suddenly becoming much more like the comics on whcih it was based, why Constantine didn't introduce Swamp Thing or Alec Holland in the first thirteen episodes, and which supernatural properties DC didn't want to see pop up on the show just yet.

The last few weeks, you've had the fans pretty happy because there's been so much coming fairly straight from the pages of Hellblazer. Is that just something where you had to establish your identity first?

Yes. I think the more time that we all collectively spent with this material, talking about it and exploring it creatively, the more natural it was to migrate closer to the comic book stories that we all fell in love with.

One thing I would hope the viewers understand but they might not is that when you're starting a TV show, there are so many captains that are involved -- so many voices and partners. And it's incumbent on you to honor all those people. So as the co-creator of the show with David, I might have my own take, David Goyer has his own take, the network definitely has their own idea of what they want the show to be, as does the studio, and then there's the original source material. One of the biggest challenges in the beginning is to find a show that is giving everyone what they want and expect. Once you get on the air and you prove yourself, you generally get a lot more freedom.

A lot of people have been talking about how after the first few episodes the show has found its stride and it's been getting stronger and it's staying closer to the comic book and that's not a coincidence because at that point, you gain more trust from your partners and I think that's what you're probably seeing happen onscreen.

The back half of the season has been driven by the discussion about whether the show is coming back and by the fans who are coming together to try and save it. What was going through your minds at this point in production? Were you just feeling good about where you're at with the production itself?

You know, I have weird theories about all that. First of all, and this is sort of an addendum to the last thing I said, I think in the beginning we were a bit more episodic and again, the network was very clear in wanting stand-alone stories every week. But then you get on the air and you start spending time with these characters and getting to know them, you start being able to lean into the serialized storytelling.

Frankly, the network and studio all wanted to read as much more about the characters and learn about them as much as the viewers did. So the more time we spent on the air, the more freedom we had to really start digging into the characters' lives and getting to know them and organically, that leads to serialized storytelling. I think if we came out of the gate with those heavily serialized stories...it just wasn't what the network ordered. They entrusted us to start gradually moving in that direction as the season wore on and I feel like we've found a nice balance. We've found a nice balance between you can sit down and watch an episode of Constantine without having seen what came before and enjoy hopefully a good or compelling or scary story with a beginning, middle and end but for the fans, there's also the continuing character arcs and storylines.

I will say this: I don't think it's any coincidence that we hit stride with a storyline that was straight from the comic books, which was the hunger demon. And without a doubt, that encouraged us all to dig deeper into the source material.

This week's episode, we get to see Ritchie again and for anybody who followed Ritchie in the Hellblazer comic book, he had a very interesting arc in which he essentially disappeared into a computer and became part of the software and that was sort of part of his mythology.

You'll see when you see this episode or if you've seen this episode that the goal of Ritchie's toward a singularity -- toward entering a computer and experiencing his own singularity -- very much drove the entire episode. That was the inspiration for it and it very much stays true to who Ritchie is and what he wanted. Ritchie is the one character, as we said in the pilot, who sees what's coming. He knows. He's data-mind. What he wants to do is just run. He wants to flee and he wants to flee into the computer. We took the story in a different direction than the comic book but that was the inspiration for the story.

It's interesting to me that we're going to get Ritchie and then we're going to get Hank Henshaw, who has a somewhat similar final fate, on TV within about a calendar year.

[Laughs] Well, I will tell you one thing they don't have to worry about in the comic books: If you're on television and you're lucky enough to cast a talented actor, you want to see more of them. They die in the comic book but you don't want yours to die. I mean, Ritchie, once he disappears into that computer, he's pretty much gone. I think he comes back in Nergal's body and then burns up or something, but we love Jeremy Davies. Jeremy Davies is foundational to the show, and in terms of what he brings and in terms of...he's such a different character from John Constantine because he's so fear-based and reactionary.There's just such great interplay. Matt Ryan and Jeremy Davies together are just so much fun to watch. So we want to keep him around as a continuing character if we're fortunate enough to have future episodes.

Similary, Jonjo O'Neill, the actor who played Gary Lester, we stayed true to the comics there but it's killing us because we loved that character so much and we love the actor who played him. Jonjo is one of Matt Ryan's flatmates in London and that's how he got the role is that Matt introduced him to us and he actually hasn't done a lot of stuff, especially out here in the States, although I just had drinks with the two of them a couple of days ago and now Jonjo is out here for pilot season and hopefully that will work out for him.

Look, part of the plan is always to do a flashback Newcastle episode. That will be a welcome opportunity if we get to do so, to work with Jonjo again.

Luckily, too, it isn't unheard of for John to have some ghosts.

Yeah. What do they call the -- The Spook Group? -- And Anne Marie was the same thing. You didn't even really get to know Anne Marie but she was introduced and portrayed as such a great character by Claire van der Boom in Episodes Eight and Nine but we can't wait. We had 22 episodes on our writers' room board, where the whole season was going and it included a Newcastle flashback and it included getting all of those characters together that we've been slowly rolling out. I hope we get chance to do that again.

Did those plans include any long-term design for Alec Holland?

You know, the short answer's no. We have a desire but the way things work is all of that has to work in concert with DC and whether they would say no or not, I think we would just have to wait and see. We would have to come up with a pitch, say what we want to do and then get their clearances on it to make sure it's not conflicting with any other plans they might have.

For instance, I don't think I'm speaking out of school here to say that DC is hard at work developing Sandman as a feature film. We were asked very respectfully...we were basically given carte blanche to any of the kind of mystical, dark, supernatural, paranormal characters from the DC Universe but we were asked to steer clear of Sandman at least for now because they are meant for a feature underway.

So very similarly, had we wanted to do something with Holland, it would have been something we had to have cleared. For us, that felt more like something we wouldn't have done in the first season. At least, we had no plans.

How did the story come about for the claymation thing where you guys have been kidnapped?

You know what? I've got to be honest: there is so much love for the Constantine character among our writers and crew and staff. That came about frankly by three of the writers assistants: Our writers assistant Matthew Levine, my assistant Sammy Corrado and our production assistant Garret Levitz.

You know, they were just looking for ways to promote the show and I think either Sammy or Mat knew these claymation animators and they just saw an opportunity to create something. Every weekend they were going down and helping them build the world. I mean, those sets are fantastic! Look at those sets they built, they're like three, four feet tall and they're like ten foot by ten foot and they just built a great world and they had fun doing it and it just came out of their enthusiasm and love for the show and it was a great opportunity for us to get some stuff online.

In terms of how they came up with it, they wrote it, so I couldn't speak to that, but David and I were definitely honored to be included in it!

- Matt Ryan: Manny finalmente sentirá el dolor humano (zap2it):
Matt Ryan: Manny finalmente sentirá el dolor humano
Por Chris E. Hayner 06 Feb, 2015


While Manny has been a powerful force in guiding John throughout the first season of "Constantine," there's always been a severe disconnect between the two characters. As an angel, Manny doesn't know the pain of the human experience like John does.

That all changes with the Feb. 6 episode, "Angels and Ministers of Grace," which finds Constantine confining Manny to a human body. For Matt Ryan, who plays John, Harold Perineau getting the chance as an actor to explore a different side of the character made the episode a unique experience.

"It's funny, man. What I really love about the episode is John and Manny's relationship and seeing Harold play another side of Manny as well," Ryan tells Zap2it. "He's trapped in this human body and he's feeling things the way humans do for the first time."

Those feelings include pain, lust and everything in between, if the trailer for the episode is to be believed. Will it alter how he deals with John and humanity? "The question is when he does get back to angel form, has he changed?" Ryan wonders.

Manny's experience isn't the only thing John has to deal with in the episode. "[He] goes through a very interesting development with Zed in this episode," Ryan says. "You get to see the torment of how he feels about his friends and the relationships he has with these people, which is that most of them end up dying."

"Constantine" airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.

- ¿Podría la S2 de "Constantine" trasladarse a otra cadena?:
Esta es la pregunta que llevan haciéndose los fans de "Constantine" desde hasce tiempo, especialmente desde que supimos que no se iban a hacer los 22 episodios de una temporada normal completa y que aún no han habido noticias de su renovación, pese a que la NBC ya ha anunciado la renovación de otras series en su cadena.

Al parecer la NBC está buscando otra alternativa a la cancelación de la cadena, que pasaría por trasladar la serie a otra cadena de cable que pertenezca a la NBC Universal.

Entre las divisiones de cable de la NBC están USA Network, CNBC, Syfy, MSNBC, Bravo, Oxygen, mun2, CNBC World, Chiller, Sleuth y Universal HD. De todas ellas, parece que Syfy sería la más probable (nombre que también ha estado en boca de los fans desde hace tiempo), aunque Bravo, Chiller, USA Network y Sleuth también tienen programación similar a veces.

Anoche, Cinelinx publicó la noticia de que la serie podría estar trasladándose a Syfy -- traslado que dicen que también incluiría el añadir al nombre de la serie 'Hellblazer' y ve cómo la serie potencia los elementos de horror y cómic sobre los procedimentales que han dirigido la misma en la NBC.

La historia se ha recogido en varios sitios por internet y el diseñador de sets de la serie David Blass parece que ha confirmado que las conversaciones se hicieron a través de su cuenta de twitter:

Un maratón reciente de Constantine en Syfy funcionó bastante bien, y recientemente varios ejecutivos han sugerido qiue la cadena vuelva a abrazar sus orígenes de ciencia-ficción. Incluso algunos de ellos han estado buscando su propio éxito original al estilo de a American Horror Story o The Walking Dead.

Aunque poco común, no es la primera vez que una serie tiene éxito tras haber sido trasladada de cadena. Por ejemplo, recientemente ABC Studios tasladó Cougar Town de la ABC a la TBS, dónde tiene sólidos rátings y ha conseguido otras tres temporadas.

Otra de las posibilidades que han estado rondando la cabeza de los fans es que pase a cadenas webs tales como Hulu o Netflix, pero eso dependería fuertemente de la naturalza del acuerdo entre la NBC Universal y la Warner Bros.

Por el momento, nadie ha hecho ninguna declaración oficial al respecto, así es que sólo nos queda esperar y cruzar los dedos para que la continuidad de esta gran serie llegue a buen puerto.

Matt Ryan sobre el honrar a los cómics, las esperanzas de la S2 y... ¿Shakespeare?
Por Russ Burlingame 10/02/2015


With just one more episode to go before its first season ends and an uncertain future on the horizon, all eyes will be on Constantine Friday, when series star Matt Ryan reunites with guests Emmett Scanlan and Michael James Shaw as James Corrigan and Papa Midnite, respectively.

Rumors are hot that the series could be headed to Syfy for a second season, although neither Ryan nor showrunner Daniel Cerone seem to have any idea, with Cerone saying that those kinds of decisions, if they're being made, are being made above his pay grade in the NBC Universal office suites.

Ryan joined ComicBook.com to talk about this week's episode, the challenges and thrills of playing John Constantine...and what he'd like to bring in from the comics in a Season Two.

Give us a little taste of the season finale -- what should fans expect?

Obviously, we have Papa Midnite coming back, and Corrigan as well. We're going to see a development with John and Jim's relationship. In the last episode with Jim, it was kind of Jim and Zed getting to know each other. I think in this episode you see John and Jim's relationship moving on to a different place.

We also see a step toward Jim kind of being The Spectre in terms of his attitude, his outlook and his words, and that's quite exciting for the episode.

It's a great story, the end is a great thing and we do reveal a little about the Brujería and what's going on there.

You have a lot of history with Shakespeare. Are there any characters in Shakespeare that you can draw on for Constantine?

Oh, interesting, interesting. I'm not too sure if there's any particular characters to be precise about it but I think that generally, he's so great at psychology, Shakespeare, about behavior, and I think what you do it, you take elements of all the work you've done. Especially the religious side of the work that Shakespeare does is definitely something that you can bring into this world as well. The fact is that ghosts and demons were very prevalent in the mind at the time and they were very real things. So I think that's something that we can sort of draw on and bring into this world as well.

As someone with a lot of stage experience, was it a little jarring to work on a show that's so visual effects-heavy?

Yeah. I just finished doing a play; I was doing Henry V in West End in London, and obviously switching mediums, it always takes a little bit of time and a little bit of adjustment. You get back in front of the cameras and start remembering all the techniques and stuff that you've learned.

From a Shakespeare play to something like this, I think was a really interesting transition as well. The medium, I think...it's so fast, the way you work in television, just working those muscles in terms of your prepping and learning lines and stuff, and kind of just getting up to speed with that takes a little bit of adjustment. But it's a bit like riding a bike; once you get back on, it comes back pretty easy.

The culture of this is wildly different than most of your other work; every interview, it's "Do you want to cross over with Arrow?" or "Do you want to be John in a movie? How do you answer those things, and how do you process a culture where the press and the fans are looking three projects ahead?

Honestly, I don't really pay that much attention to it. I try to just be in the moment to take what's right in front of me. Obviously there's talk of a movie and stuff, and those are all interesting things, but I try not to think too far ahead, really. Especially in this business, you can't endgame too much. You have to focus on the work and try to enjoy yourself.

Has that been more or less prevalent as the season has gone on and there's been questions about renewal?

I think less. I think when we first started this, it was interesting. It was a very new thing for me to be asked those kinds of questions and when you're asked those questions, then you do think about it.

I think as time has gone on, I've been able to get used to it and been able to stay in the moment.

What would you like to see adapted from the comics, or what DC properties would you like to bring in, should you guys get a Season Two?

Wow, I think...

...My favorite arc from the comics is the "Dangerous Habits" arc, and I don't think that would be Season Two, I think that would be further down the line but that's something that I would really love to get to. It's my favorite run of the comics.

I also love, and what could be a possibility for Season Two I think, is the Family Man arc. What I like about that is, it's not John dealing with demons and devils, it's him dealing with human beings and I think that's a very interesting place for John. I think there's actually a line in the comic where he says, "Demons, devils I'm fine with, but the real life, the real problems that human beings have..."

I think that's quite an interesting storyline that could be done over a few episodes or something, you know? That's something I'd like to explore as well. I mean, there's so much there, man. That's the great thing about this job, this gig and the source material. There's so much there that every time you pick up a comic, you're thinking about how well it can be translatedf to screen.

Is it just Hellblazer that's drawing your performance? What else do you draw on to craft the character? Obviously many in the audience really only knew the Reeves movie before this, which is a very different animal.

Hm. Yeah.

There is such a wealth of the character in all the comics. I draw upon that. I think that what I've been doing as well as shooting, at the same time I've always got one of the comics with me.

I think visually it's very interesting; so many different artists have drawn him, so you can get a real physicality from the comics. Also, the different great writers that have written him, there's so many colors there. I think that I just keep on reading so that subliminally, subconsciously, the character is always working in the background. It's digging and deepening and making it more full and rich, you know? More three-dimensional.

So, yeah. I think that the comics are definitely the main source of the character but at the same time as I was saying a little while ago, you do draw on all your experiences in life and all the other characters you've played before. There's little bits in there at different times.

As somebody who has to watch these for a living and watch them several times, I think Constantine is the deepest and most layered of these shows. You guys have an awful lot in every episode and I feel like I get something different on every viewing.

I think we're actually just skimming the surface. That's the great thing about it. The source material, there's so much we can do with it and the potential is so huge. So we hope as well that we get a second season and we can continue to do that.

- Matt Ryan Adelanta la Final de Constantine, una potencial Season 2 y más (tvfanatic):
Matt Ryan Adelanta la Final de Constantine, una potencial Season 2 y más
por Henry A. Otero 13 Febrero, 2015 9:00 am.


Well, Constantine Season 1 comes to a close tonight, and though the show's future hangs in the balance, star Matt Ryan remains optimistic about a potential season two.

I had a chance to chat with the petty dabbler of the dark arts, himself, about his favorite episodes, supernatural experiences on set, the rumored move to Syfy and lots more.

Don't miss tonight's Constantine Season 1 Episode 13, it's a particularly creepy installment with an ending you're not going to want to miss.

TV Fanatic: Let me start by saying you're phenomenal as Constantine and congratulations on a great first season.

Matt Ryan: Aw thank you buddy.

TVF: Where did the show really hit its stride for you? Was there a particular episode?

MR: I think that the episode with Gary Lester, for me, in terms of playing the character that was when something clicked in you know? Where I really felt like I was starting to get a handle on him and get underneath his skin. So for me, that was an episode where I felt a bit of a turning point and a shifting point.

I think from that episode we've gone from strength to strength, and then The Saint of Last Resorts Part 1 and Part 2 are two episodes which I feel where we really kind of came out of the park swinging, so to speak. The show really found its feet and its flavor. So yeah, I would say those two different things, in terms of maybe what the fans thought, but for me it was definitely the Gary Lester episode.

TVF: Unfortunately, the season was capped off at 13 episodes. Was there a Hellblazer story arc or a moment – a Newcastle flashback for example – you wish fans had a chance to see this season?

MR: I think that a Newcastle flashback was definitely on the cards, and that's something that if we get to season two we'll definitely explore. I think the plan was to bring in characters from the Newcastle event in the present day, and then go back with them all together. I think that was the direction we were going. If we, hopefully, get to season two then we'll definitely get to explore that.

TVF: Would we also have a chance to see some of the characters teased this season: The Spectre, Doctor Fate, folks like that? Do you think that would come into play in a potential season two?

MR: I mean what's great man is the endless possibilities in terms of where we can go with it. And all those Easter eggs that we've been giving throughout the season, I think that there's so much we could do with the show. We get to see Emmett Scanlan playing Jim Corrigan again in the season finale. And what's great about it is we see him psychologically taking a step towards being The Spectre. Also, we see a development in John and Jim's relationship which is a really interesting kind of thing for the season finale.

TVF: John's relationships with Chas, Zed, Manny, Anne Marie and Jim Corrigan are all so different. Did you have a favorite to play?

MR: Do you know what? The great thing about them all being different is you never get bored. Do you know what I mean? For Manny (for Harold), until the last episode where he interacts with Zed, I'm the only one he interacts with. So I'd like to know whether Harold [Perrineau] ever got bored just playing with me. But for John, playing John, what's great is the different dynamics you get with the different characters.

And then the Newcastle characters that have come in like Gary Lester and Anne Marie. All those different relationships are slightly different variations and different sides of John, so you just never get bored with them. As soon as you think you need a change, then another character's there. So I don't have a favorite, I think I have a favorite for each time I'm playing with them you know? They're all different at different times, so keeps you on your toes.

TVF: I was curious if shooting in those mausoleums and creepy places lead to any weird or supernatural experiences?

MR: The biggest one, that kind of freaked me out man, was when we were doing The Saint of Last Resorts. We were shooting in that big old mausoleum, and one of the PA's came up to me and said look at this and showed me a picture of a Constantine gravestone. And I was like yeah the set dec's did that right? And they were like no it's actually in the freaking graveyard and I was like you're kidding me.

So we went out in the middle of the night with our torches on our iPhones and it was really really spooky. We went up to this grave and I took some pictures next to it like they were in the comics as well. For me, all night I was just like that's real? I mean, that's kind of freaky right? And it was actually in a really similar font to what we use in the show as well. That was kind of the freakiest thing I think.

TVF: After researching and your experience on this show, do you have more of an appreciation for the occult? Exorcisms, voodoo, spells that kind of thing?

MR: Yeah, definitely. Of course, I've been reading lots of magic books and reading the comics as well. There was this one time when I was in my apartment, I was living on the ninth floor, and there was all these tiny little lady bugs – I think you call them lady bugs in America – but they were stuck to the windows. I think we were shooting the Gary Lester episode, and all of my windows – and I had bay windows – were just covered in these little bugs and I think they must have been attracted to the cold because we had air conditioning on in the unit.

But it was just freaky, we're doing this thing about locusts and next minute there's all these bugs stuck to the window. I think that just playing it and researching all these things, you do kind of become more aware of the stuff that we don't see. I think it does open your mind to it slightly yeah. You have to when you're playing that stuff right?

TVF: Not to knock NBC or anything, 'cause every week they shocked me with the gruesome material they got away with on network TV, but how do you feel about the rumor that Syfy might pick up the show for season 2? Will the writers be able to push the limits even more and get closer to the comics if it moves to Syfy?

MR: First of all, I found out that news when all you guys found out about that news. I don't really know what's going on with that, but I can only hope that we do get a chance to explore this world further. I think the potential for the show is huge, so hopefully we get a chance to do that.

I'm not really that familiar with the Syfy network in terms of their policies or anything like that. I think that our aim is, Daniel and David's aim from the beginning is to try and make this show as close to the comics as possible. Starting out from the door, we were finding our feet and I think that if we continue on NBC or wherever that's something that we're all aiming to do anyway whichever network we're on.

TVF: The season finale is dark and disturbing, but in no way a resolution. What can you tease about the final installment and potential season two?

MR: What you do get is a bit of a revelation in terms of the Rising Darkness. Jim Corrigan takes a step forward to becoming The Spectre and his relationship with John develops. It kind of rounds things off, but also keeps us wanting more for a second season.

- Angélica Celaya adelanta la Season Finale de Constantine de esta noche (Ksitetv):
Angélica Celaya adelanta la Season Finale de Constantine de esta noche
Por Craig Byrne, 13 Febrero, 2015


The first season of NBC's Constantine airs tonight, and like many of the episodes of the first year, the episode is a great mix of supernatural elements and scary drama. Characters like Papa Midnite (Michael James Shaw) and Jim Corrigan (Emmett Scanlan) make return appearances, and we finally get some answers about the Rising Darkness.

While no decision has been announced yet about Season 2, fans are hopeful, and to promote tonight's show, Angélica Celaya - who plays Zed - took the time to speak with KSiteTV about the Season 1 closer, which is called "Waiting for the Man." Enjoy:

KSITETV's CRAIG BYRNE: Can you talk about Zed's decision last week not to remove the tumor that may be the source of her visions?

ANGELICA CELAYA: She said a little of it to Manny: It was that this is the burden that she has to bear - that she has to go through this - and she doesn't want to put her visions at risk, with taking the tumor out, she's sacrificing herself for the greater good. That tumor will keep growing, and eventually it could lead to her death. We don't know. But the thing is, there's one thing that's true: If this tumor is right in the spot where Zed is having her visions, she does not want to put that at risk. She's sacrificing herself for the greater good, and saying "I cannot think of myself when I have to think of everyone else. We're fighting the Rising Darkness, and it's not time to think about 'oh, well, I have a tumor.' We're talking about humanity here!"

Is Zed afraid that it might get deadlier, and it might keep her from doing all she needs to do to help John?


That's exactly what it is. She doesn't want to lose the opportunity to be a part of this team that they've been starting to form, and she doesn't want to be put on the sidelines and lose her ability to help out. She finally sees a purpose that she made for herself - not that her family or the cult decided for her to be a part of, or forced her to be a part of. She totally decided it for her own, which is very big for her.

What is it that brings everyone back in contact with Jim Corrigan in the finale?

We go back to New Orleans, and there's this -- out of all the episodes, this is the first story where I read the comic book [inspiration]. The Man… he is just one sick bastard! He's kidnapped little 13 year old girls and wanting for them to become his bride and killing them! It's gross. It is so gross that everybody comes together and is like "okay, let's kick ass. Let's get this guy and destroy him."

What is Zed's reaction when she sees Jim Corrigan again?

Oh my gosh! We all remember the last time Zed saw Jim, and when they touched and she saw the Spectre. She just saw his death. So this is a consistent reminder of "oh my God, he's gonna die. You're going to die," and it's this whole thing of "I've seen you dead!" So that's not very heartwarming at all. That's more of "oh, God. I don't want to see you."

Does Zed feel she's betraying John at all by getting close with Corrigan?

There's a moment where Zed feels, in a way, that she's betraying [John]. It's this whole thing that they carried out this whole season, of stuff they don't talk about. They don't say it out loud. It's this whole thing of "I really like you, I'm trying to be with you," but they don't. He doesn't want to say it. She doesn't want to say it. They're both very proud, and they don't want to admit what they feel for each other, and then this whole thing of Corrigan… yeah. It's something else that's shaking her up. We have a saying in Spanish that "if you don't hurry up, someone's going to beat you to your groceries" [laughs] so yeah, it's pretty much that.

How does Papa Midnite factor in to the season finale story?

Papa Midnite wants his revenge. Constantine and Papa Midnite got together in a couple of episodes, and they came together to help out, but there's a love-hate relationship between them, which I love. I enjoy seeing them together, all the time. Papa Midnite is an awesome character.

Zed is finally interacting with Manny. There's a very cool scene in the finale between them. Can you talk about that, and how her interactions with Manny are different from John's interactions with him?

It's a whole new interaction; a divine interaction, and Zed is just taken in awe. She found out that there are angels - they do exist. It's not just fables told by the church or her father, or whatever. And then she also finds out that Manny is an angel and it's like "oy," and then last episode, she sees Manny in his divine form, not in someone else's body, but him just there in his divine way, and Zed is just in awe and taken away. She's just gob-smacked. There's no words to describe what she feels, but there's this connection now between them because they understand each other, and she, in a way, confides in Manny, because he understands everything she's going through.

Does the Rising Darkness storyline get wrapped up at all in the first season?

Oh, yeah. We will definitely find out what or who or how this Rising Darkness is coming, and is there. It's a huge cliffhanger, too.

How positive are your hopes for a second season?

My hopes are with the whole show, and the fans, and everybody that's supporting this. Zed's storyline is fantastic, and there is so much more to do with it. There's so much more to go through, and even the cliffhanger, how the show ends the season… you're going to definitely want to know more. You're going to definitely want to see how things play out, because it's going to shake up the crew. We're trying to beat the Rising Darkness, and this is going to shake us up. You're going to definitely want to see it clear out.

I love the series. I love the show. I love the people behind it, the actors involved… everybody that's involved from head to toe, honestly, it's a kick-ass team, and to me, it was my dream team. So, yeah. My hopes are there.

Was filming the show in Atlanta a different experience for you than if the show had filmed in Los Angeles, for example?

Yeah. It was different just because I've never been in Atlanta. I've never lived there; I have never experienced Atlanta, so for me Atlanta is Constantine. For me, Atlanta is everything that we are doing. So in a way, it was good for me as an actress, because for me, every place I was, it was all about Constantine. It wasn't about "oh, hey, I heard there's a really good restaurant here! Let's go here!" It sort of takes you out of that mindset. In a way, it was really good, because as soon as we got to set, it was 100% Constantine, and everywhere we were, everything that surrounded us, we were 100% there. It's time to work.

The show got such a huge fan base really quickly. Can you talk about that fan base, and how it might be different than other projects you had done?

Other projects I've done, there's been a fan base, more concerning actors. This show is not about the actors. This show is about the characters. This show is about the comic. This goes above and beyond whatever any one of us actors can actually bring to the show. This was definitely 100% because of the characters, and the comics. It's humbling, because it basically makes me, as an actress, want to bring that character even more to life, and give it justice. The fans out there appreciate it, and keep tuning in, and keep pushing it, and keep Twittering and all of that… It's a big, humbling experience because I've never experienced a show where, from Day One, it was all about the characters. It was never about who you were before, or what covers of magazines you've done before. It was 100% about the characters.

Why should people tune in to the finale?

Zed's going to get kissed, and we're going to find out who and what the heck is going on with the Rising Darkness. There's going to be betrayal, because we all remember that Constantine was warned that there was going to be a betrayal. Maybe people thought we forgot about that or we didn't tie it in. Oh, no. It's tied in, and it's going to be so good.

And, we all want to see The Man die. We all want to see this stupid b*stard killed! Honestly, I've never been so freaked out on set as I have been doing this last episode, because it takes satanic rituals to the max.

- Harold Perrineau: 'No se siente como el final' (blastr):
Harold Perrineau: 'No se siente como el final'
Por Aaron Sagers 13 Febrero, 2015 - 11:20am




Harold Perrineau has faith in Constantine. For an actor whose credits include multiple hit shows and films, and who is currently playing the angel Manny on the show, that belief counts for something -- because Constantine isn’t necessarily damned, but it isn’t out of Purgatory either.

Airing Fridays at 8 p.m. on NBC, the series based on the long-running DC Comics Hellblazer title caps its 13-episode season tonight, with an uncertain future ahead.

Though its ratings have been growing, its Live Plus streaming and DVR numbers have been solid and it has consistently trended on social media -- and there is a general consensus that it just keeps getting better -- the show has not been renewed.

But I would not bet my soul or a fiddle made of gold against the show just yet. Considering a TV and film landscape populated by comic book properties, superheroes and connected universes, it is a safe bet that neither NBCUniversal nor production company Warner Bros. Television wants to give up on a potential contender. And there has been chatter that a move to Syfy, also owned by NBCUniversal, is possible. However, until there is intervention, divine or corporate, tonight’s episode serves as both a season and series finale.

And it is coming in on, not one, but both wings and a prayer.

In a season highlight, the show is at its darkest (and creepiest) with an episode that stands alone but also provides the truth behind the season-long Rising Darkness threat. Expect virgin brides, voodoo zombies and satanists. Also, “Waiting for the Man” brings John Constantine and Zed together with Jim Corrigan, Papa Midnite and, of course, the angel Manny.

An actor whose previous work includes Oz, Lost and Sons of Anarchy (and Marvel’s underrated Blade animated series) -- as well as films such as Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet, the second two Matrix movies, 28 Weeks Later and Zero Dark Thirty -- Perrineau joined me to discuss his current angelic role.

Along with what it takes to be a cryptic character who has faced down fallen angels and become stuck in human form, Perrineau teases the big revelations from tonight’s installment and how Manny might be changed by its end. Additionally, the actor jokes about his own messiah complex, and whether this show can look for a savior in Syfy.

How would you compare the Manny we met in the pilot to who we see in this 13th episode?

That is an interesting thing to answer. We know Manny now; we have an expectation when he shows up. In the pilot, it was just like, “What? I don’t understand what’s happening.” I had a little more information than anyone else did, but now everyone has more. We’re more comfortable now. But he was so new. Even if you were a fan of the comics, he was new.

I’ve read that you grew up in a Baptist upbringing, so what was your awareness of angelic figures, and how did that impact your approach to Manny?

[Laughs] This is going to be one of those things where I don’t want people to think I’m crazy, or think more of myself than I actually do! But because of my religious background, I had a full belief -- when I was young -- that I might actually be the reincarnation of Christ! I was so in it. I was like, “I have all these feelings; I could be a Christ-like character.” I had all these ideas of angels, Christ, God and things I really believed. I also had these things I was confused by about being human. There were stories told about how good people are, how bad people can be and how all those things live in you. I can bring that to bear with Manny. He is the embodiment of all that stuff. They do this amazing job for this great deity. They do amazing things, but those are sometimes horrible things. They can take people to heaven or destroy entire cities. Those things that inherently live in me? Those questions I’ve had my whole life? They are helpful in playing the dark and light of playing Manny the angel.

Well, and many times our parents tell us how special and unique we are that it isn’t a big leap to think, “I have these special qualities, so why couldn’t I be something this important?”

Exactly! I kept fully expecting the skies to open and a voice to say, “Let me tell you who you really are!” [laughs] I was just walking around waiting for it. “It’s gonna happen!”

Harold Perrineau, not the chosen one. So far.

As far as I know, not yet! It could still happen!

In last week’s episode, “Angels and Ministers of Grace,” your character gets stuck in a human body in a very Manny-heavy episode. Talk about the satisfaction of playing that.

I really liked that. The difficult thing about playing Manny so far has been how to communicate with humans even though he isn’t. How does he connect to emotions, how we respond to things, when angels aren’t human? They have a different perspective of humanity. So, to put this being in human form was great for me. We were trying to connect to the audience. Everyone knows the first time they experience something. The first time they go to school, first time they have sex, the first time you do anything. We get to watch Manny stumble through this first time of feeling hurt, smelling death -- and I thought it was a great way to connect the audience to him more. We understood a bit more, but were still confused about where he is coming from. But this final doesn’t clarify it anymore. I don’t think it’s clear at all, but there is definitely more information.

Was it fun to play those beats where he has human experiences for the first time?

Yeah! The only tricky part was I thought it was really funny. The directors had to direct me not to play comedy. I was just having fun. They were like, “OK, we get it, but come on.” I had to pull it back a bit because a lot of it was really funny.

How does this episode change Manny?

I don’t think it changes Manny at all. I think he has been in this position ... I have had more information about this character than the audience from the beginning. I don’t think it changes him, but we find out what the hell is going on. Or what the heaven is going on!

We learn some big things about Manny tonight, about what he knows and what he can actually do. He is an agent of God and incredibly powerful. He can be more involved, should he choose. So the way he interacts with John makes me wonder if he's training him or toughening him up. Are they putting him through the wringer to face something even worse than the Brujeria down the road?

That’s why I think this show is really great. If you look at people in the Bible, like Lot or Noah, that’s the same question you might ask. What’s God doing? What’s happening? Those questions do apply, but I don’t know what the ultimate goal is. But you do have those questions when you consider bigger deities, and people with everyday lives -- and who moves forward or backward, and who does what in their life. I don’t know what is actually going on, but I do like that we ask those questions. Is that what’s happening? Are there higher forms informing what’s happening to Constantine? Is it a singular purpose? Is it one deity’s purpose? I like those questions, and that we ask those questions when watching the show. That makes it fascinating to me.

Will you speak about the recent talk about the show continuing on elsewhere, such as on Syfy?

Where it’s going to go, Syfy or wherever, that’s not up to me. That is an NBC thing, and they’re going to decide how it goes. That being said, it doesn’t feel like the end. There are a lot of things you feel when the end is coming, and this doesn’t feel like that. That is just Harold Perrineau’s personal feeling. I have no information. But wherever it goes, I’m in.

You have been involved in a lot of memorable projects, so what makes Constantine exciting or different in this TV landscape?

I find it really exciting. It is a great time for this show, in particular, for this type of show. It is literally like having a comic play in your living room. When I was a kid, you’d break into a comic book and it took a month to come out, and I’d go in my room and close the door. Now I turn on the TV, or stream it, and there it is in living color. You have these great actors and writers and a production team that comes together. This is a ridiculously great experience, and this show has been getting better and better as we go. Everyone found out how to make this work. That’s why it is really exciting this time in television. Unlike movies, television can keep going. Another episode is coming up, like you can get another comic book. And you can save it, watch it later on your computer. I think it is an exciting time.

I don’t know if this is the final episode or not, but it's a great one. You guys really hit a stride and push it further tonight.

Thanks, Aaron. I think it is well earned. Everybody has been working really hard. If we get to continue, I think we’ll work even harder. It is exciting, and we could really talk about some cool sh-t if we just keep going!

- Matt Ryan habla sobre las revelaciones de la Season Finale y una potencial S2 (IGN):
Matt Ryan habla sobre las revelaciones de la Season Finale y una potencial S2
Por Matt Fowler 13 Febrero, 2015


Constantine's 13-episode first season comes to a close on Friday, February 13th (how apropos!) with "Waiting for the Man." John and Zed travel back to New Orleans to help out a case involving a missing girl while Papa Midnite makes a deal with some dark, mysterious forces that could spell out huge trouble for our hero.

I spoke to series star Matt Ryan about the big season ender, the return of Emmett Scanlan as DC's Jim Corrigan, John's relationship with Zed, the future of the show (and whether it could possibly wind up moving to Syfy) and more.

IGN: From the look of things, "Waiting for the Man" seems like a jam-packed episode. What can you tell us about it?

Matt Ryan: Well, obviously it's the season finale. That goes without saying. So it's big. [laughs] But it's actually a story that's taken directly from the comics. And I think throughout the season when we've adapted things straight from the comics it's been very well-received. And so we've enjoyed that very much. But you'll also see the return of Jim Corrigan and Papa Midnite. And it's interesting because this time we see a development in John and Jim's relationship. The last time we saw Corrigan he was mostly paired up with Zed. This time he's actually asked for John's help and we see things progress in their relationship. We also see Jim taking a step toward what he's ultimately going to be - which is The Spectre. Which is great stuff.

Papa Midnite also comes back to exact his revenge on John. There's a hit out on John. A bounty. Someone's placed a hit on him and we don't know who it is. We also reveal a little bit more about Manny and his character and backstory. So that's really interesting too.

IGN: Do you feel more confident in the show when it does stories from the comics? You said those episodes were well-recieved. Do you prefer having that backbone?

Ryan: I don't think so really, to be honest with you. When I said they were well-received, I think it's more that those fans out there know those stories and they see what we're doing with them and how we're actually using them to showcase what the show's all about. And they're happy with that. For me, I think all the stories are great. I love the comics, so when we're doing something that's lifted directly from the comics, it's always really exciting to see what the writers do with it and how we wind up adapting it. So yes, it is always exciting. But then again the other stories are new stories and they're just as exciting for me as well.

IGN: The last time Corrigan was on the show, Zed saw a vision of him dead, or dying. Will that play a factor in the finale?

Ryan: Well, with that one... You'll just have to wait and see. [laughs]. I mean truthfully, there's not much I can say for that. There's only so much I can reveal, obviously. I think Corrigan being in this episode is good though. He was sort of a reluctant participant in the last episode he was in, but this time he's actually asking John and Zed for their help and doesn't have to be introduced to their world anymore. And, like I said, he takes a certain step toward becoming The Spectre. There's a psychological, mental switch that gets flipped for him, so look out for that.

IGN: John's relationship with Papa Midnite is a stormy one, but this time it looks straight-up adversarial. Is it fun to play that back and forth dynamic?

Ryan: Yeah, it's so much fun. I mean Michael [James Shaw] is just great and we have a blast together. It's always fun playing those types of relationships and with those types of dynamics. I really enjoy them. And Michael does was well. He's this huge guy who's so overpowering, but then John just doesn't give a s*** so it's great. He's just always like "Yeah, whatever. Piss off." I find it really really funny. Because when you look at the two of them Papa Midnite looks like he could take John out with one punch, but John just keeps giving him all this s***. It's a really fun relationship.

IGN: Well John's funny because he never seems impressed by much. Everyone else is in awe of certain things, or horrified by them, but John's always so flippant and casual. Are there times when you have to alter your reactions when something shows up that might actually freak John out?

Ryan: I think that he's a master at disguising his emotions. And that's what's really fun about playing him. Looking at what level, on a scale from one to ten, is his actual fear factor at. And then deciding how much of it he would be hiding from the others. But he is a human being at the end of the day, and that's what I love about the character so much. He isn't the quintessential superhero who comes from another planet and flies around with a cape. He's a human being who has human problems. And has psychological problems just like everyone else. He's just street-wise and world-weary and knows how to not show anyone what he's feeling.

IGN: Fans were upset that the season's ending after 13 episodes and additional episodes weren't ordered. Will this episode bookend the season or will it leave everyone hungry for more?

Ryan: I think it'll do both. I think it will and should do both. Hopefully it'll reveal a few things to the audience that we've been setting up throughout the season, but also give some enthusiasm for the show possibly going forward if we get picked up and are given another season.

IGN: If the show does come back for a Season 2, do you have any ideas about what sort of stories will be told?

Ryan: I don't know for sure, but there's been some talk. I mean we're always talking and I always talk to Daniel [Cerone] and David [Goyer] about what else we could adapt from the comic books. One storyline I'd love to see in there is "The Family Man" storyline. That's something that we could do if we came back for a second season. That's not to say that that story's in the cards, by the way, because obviously that's their job and my job is to play the part. But there are so many great storylines that I'd love to explore and I think this show has huge potential for many seasons to come given the great source material we have.

IGN: Newcastle played a huge part of this season, but it was always in the background - in the past. Going forward, would you like to see a flashback episode that shows everything that went down?

Ryan: I think that if we get a second season, we'll get see what happened at Newcastle. I think we will.

IGN: In last week's episode, John was noticeably shaken during Zed's health scare. How would you say their relationship has developed over the season?

Ryan: I think John at the beginning was someone who was reluctant to take anyone new under his wing, so to speak. But then he saw what was useful about Zed when it came to the fight against the Rising Darkness. But there was also a part of him that wanted to keep her at arm's length. The two of them spent a lot of time trying to figure out each other's histories and backstories. Who they really were and where they came from. But I think over the course of the season they have become attached. And in the last episode you did see John get shaken by the news of her having a tumor. And it goes to show again his human quality and that no matter how hard you try to keep your distance from someone, if you spend enough time with someone you start to build a relationship and inevitably you become attached. And it comes back around to everyone who's around John winds up dying. But I think there's still a lot more places we can go with that relationship. Obviously in the comics they get together. We haven't explored that on the show yet, but there's chemistry between them. So it would be interesting to see what we do with the two of them going forward.

IGN: Their were rumors recently that the show could possibly move to Syfy, if NBC doesn't renew it. Have you heard anything about that?

Ryan: Heh, I heard that news when you heard it, man. [Laughs] I was like "Oh, really? Is that something that could happen?" I mean, hopefully, that would be cool if it means that we get to continue exploring this world with these great characters and great stories. But I know just as much as you do right now. But fingers crossed.

- Chaz habla sobre la Season Finale, por qué quiere #SaveConstantine (cbr):
Chaz habla sobre la Season Finale, por qué quiere #SaveConstantine
Por Bryan Cairns, 13 Febrero 2015


As longtime "Hellblazer" readers know, nobody knows John Constantine like Chas Chandler.

As teenagers, the two clicked and developed a strong bond. Constantine even took care of Chas' unhappy home life by killing his pal's mother Queenie and her wretched monkey familiar, Slag. These days, the semi-immortal Chas is Constantine's most faithful companion, always-on-call driver, and, most importantly, his oldest and dearest friend.


Ahead of "Constantine's" season -- and possibly series -- finale, Charles Halford spoke with CBR News about Chas' dynamic with the self-styled master of the dark arts and the Judas in their midst. We also dive into the importance of Chas' family background, his longtime fandom and familiarity with the "Hellblazer" source material and his take on the possibility of "Constantine" changing networks from NBC to Syfy in order to secure a second season.

CBR News: Though Chas is different from his comics counterpart, he remains John's best -- some would say only -- friend. What have you enjoyed about the way the Chas/Constantine friendship has been handled on the show?

Charles Halford: I really couldn't be happier. I was a fan of the comics going in, and I became a bigger fan early in the shooting, even though there wasn't that much information for Chas. I was discovering this NBC-Chas with the audience, like the "immortality" and all these things. One of my favorite issues of the "Hellblazer" comics is issue #84, where John takes care of Chas' mother problem.

There were a lot of questions and a lot of concerns about how they were going to handle the relationship and the backstory between John and Chas. When I finally read episode #10, "Quid Pro Quo," how it was this haphazard kind of spell that John cast to really put Chas into a corner and make his life mean something, I was really happy with it. I remember when I read how they were going to do it, because we had talked about the idea, and I finally saw it executed, I was pretty excited.

When I found out he still had the family, and the relationship between Chas' wife Renee and Constantine, I liked all of that. I liked the groundwork that we laid, and I am looking forward to the potential, future storylines. Time will tell.

We got a glimpse of Chas' family life in "Quid Pro Quo." Why was that so important to explore?

In terms of the type of show it is, I think it's important to have in this band of loners a family man, a guy who has the wife and kid, where life and love are affected by this world. You have Zed, who is on the run. You have Manny, and who knows what he is up to. And Constantine is an outcast and has isolated himself. It's nice to have a guy who is a father and a husband, and who just happens to be John Constantine's best friend -- and now, closest ally.

It used to be Constantine and Chas against the world. That inner circle has expanded as the seaosn has gone on. What does Chas make of Zed and Manny?

Chas just knows about Manny. That's not surprising when you are friends with John. He deals with all sorts of weird stuff. You take it with a grain of salt.

With Zed, there's some general interest there. I think Chas has interest in John having another friend. John, left to his own devices, is far more dangerous. Chas knows that. And Zed is easy on the eyes and good in a fight.

In what ways does the season finale pay off the Rising Darkness arc?

Obviously, our story got cut a bit short, which is unfortunate timing. It does get addressed. I kind of know what was in the coming scripts, but we only get them about a week before. They ordered 16 episodes, and then we were only going to do 13. It just means we will have some awesome scripts already written for season two.

Papa Midnite returns to wreak some havoc in the finale. What makes him such a great foil for the series?

Papa Midnite is just awesome, and a perfect foil for Constantine. They are both shady, they both have their own ways of going about things, and they both have this really absurd respect for each other. I don't know that there are a lot of close friends in that supernatural realm of the netherworld, but the fact they do have this respect is very interesting. Neither one of these guys keep friends they don't need things from. It played [that way] in the comic books, and it's really exciting for me that we get to put a stamp on that.

Viewers will also finally discover which person will betray Constantine. What was the cast's reaction to that bombshell and what it could mean for the show?

It's a great 13 hours of television, and even a better diving board. I know everybody was excited while they were doing it. At that point, I was just dropping by the set. My work was done, and I was just there to love everybody. What's interesting is, it was so organic. They had a strong script going into the finale, but it was revised due to the changes in the schedule. Everybody seemed to get more and more excited about it as they went along. It's a nice way to wrap up a season, with that kind of excitement and smiles on your faces.

There have been rumors that "Constantine" could land a second season by shifting to Syfy instead of NBC. How would you feel if the series changed networks?

Personally, I want "Constantine" to live. A lot of stuff that has been circulating I agree with. I think there's creative freedom in other places, but I have absolutely no information. I really just want to go forward. If anyone can fight their way out of a corner -- and come out stronger and better and meaner and badder -- it's John Constantine. He will survive.

- Las esperanzas y sueños de Matt Ryan en la Season 2 (zap2it):
Las esperanzas y sueños de Matt Ryan en la Season 2
Por Chris E. Hayner 13 Febrero, 2015


Now that Season 1 of "Constantine" has come to an end, you might be wondering what's next. A second season hasn't been ordered yet, but if that happens, the finale left questions to address in the future -- like figuring out exactly what Manny's up to and why he would make a deal with Papa Midnite.

Beyond that lingering plot, what else should happen in a possible Season 2? Star Matt Ryan (John) has some thoughts. Speaking to Zap2it about "Constantine's" future, the actor shared three stories he'd like the show to tackle, should it get renewed.

1. A return to Newcastle

The "Constantine" pilot introduced Astra, a little girl who died in the Newcastle incident, causing John to leave his old life behind. While the brief introductions of Anne Marie and Gary Lester have illuminated that event a bit, there's still a long way to go.

"The plan very much is to do a Newcastle episode. I think the original plan was to introduce the members of the Newcastle crew -- like we've done with Gary Lester and Anne Marie -- bring them in and actually go back to that time when that happened," Ryan says. "My understanding of it was it would be some kind of flashback episode where we actually see what happened with Astra."

2. 'Dangerous Habits'

"Dangerous Habits" is a six-issue story arc from the "Hellblazer" comics that finds John inching closer to death while suffering from terminal lung cancer. It's also Constantine's first encounter with the devil, which would make for very interesting TV, whether it happened in Season 2 or later in the series. "I would love for the show to be on the air long enough to get the 'Dangerous Habits' arc because that's my favorite of all I've read," Ryan says.

3. 'The Family Man'

While John has faced numerous monsters, demons and supernatural forces, how would be fare against a human serial killer? That's the arc of "The Family Man," from the "Hellblazer" comics. A serial killer is targeting families and Constantine must stop him. Ryan explains, "We've seen John battling demons, and there's a great line where he says, 'Demons and devils, I can handle them. But people ...'"

It's the kind of story that could likely be summed up in an episode or two and give audiences a whole new idea of the monsters John has to face. "[The killer] is just a normal guy, and I think that's a really interesting thing to explore," Ryan says. "I'm not a writer but I think it could be an interesting arc." The secret bonus is that "Family Man" also brings John's dad into the story.
