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.
