Constantine
The trailer for the pilot that was just picked up for a series order for Constantine is being pretty well received and that has NBC setting out a few more images along with the logo for the series. Constantine has been given its scheduling as well where it’s now being set for a Friday night 10pm slot on the network where it will follow Grimm and will give up its position later in the season when the third season of Hannibal returns.
Constantine stars Matt Ryan as the lead character alongside Lucy Griffiths, Harold Perrineau and Charles Helford. It comes from Daniel Cerone and David S. Goyer with Neil Marshall directing the pilot.
Plot Concept: Seasoned demon hunter and master of the occult John Constantine (Matt Ryan, “Criminal Minds”) specializes in giving hell… hell. Armed with a ferocious knowledge of the dark arts and his wickedly naughty wit, he fights the good fight — or at least he did. With his soul already damned to hell, he’s decided to leave his do-gooder life behind, but when demons target Liv (Lucy Griffiths, “True Blood”), the daughter of one of Constantine’s oldest friends, he’s reluctantly thrust back into the fray – and he’ll do whatever it takes to save her. Before long, it’s revealed that Liv’s “second sight” — an ability to see the worlds behind our world and predict supernatural occurrences — is a threat to a mysterious new evil that’s rising in the shadows. Now it’s not just Liv who needs protection; the angels are starting to get worried too. So, together, Constantine and Liv must use her power and his skills to travel the country, find the demons that threaten our world and send them back where they belong. After that, who knows… maybe there’s hope for him and his soul after all.”
