Tarsem Will Direct Constantine

By Azad January 29, 2001 10:49 PM

Tarsem Singh, best known for recently directing The Cell, will helm Warner Brothers' upcoming supernatural thriller movie Constantine. The movie is based on the DC-Vertigo comic series Hellblazer, according to The Hollywood Reporter. So far, there has been no official starting date set for the project. Practically speaking, the impending writers' and actors' strikes will make production difficult at this time.

Constantine tells the story of investigator John Constantine, who dabbles in the occult and teams with a female police officer to fight the forces of evil. Kevin Brodbin (The Glimmer Man) wrote the script, with a rewrite by Mark Bomback and Frank Cappello.

Cannot think of the name but maybe the guy who was in The Mummy opposite Brendan Frasier. You know, the dark swarthy guy who wore the black robes, he might be a good choice. Ok, so I don't know his name, heck, I didn't know who Carmen Electra was till 6 months ago...so sue me, that sort of thing is not real high on my list

I may be horribly wrong but I think his name is Arnold Vosloo.

No...Vosloo played the 3rd Darkman, he is underrated as an actor I believe but the person I am thinking of was the tall guy in the black robes with the odd tats on his face...hmmmm oh well, the first thing to go they say is the memory...I hope...thanks tho

Definately either Gary Oldman or Tim Roth.  Someone who can bring the very English humor and cynicism to life.
