Official Trailer for NBC's Constantine

Check out this 3 minute trailer for the upcoming show.

On Fridays, this fall, NBC is launching the long-awaited new series Constantine, based off the hit Vertigo comic. Here's a full, 3 minute trailer for the upcoming series.

It seems like the only thing missing from this trailer is Papa Midnite. One thing is for sure, they're going to give this show a creepy, horror vibe, and many fans will truly appreciate that Constantine is being played by a Brit.

What do you guys think about the upcoming series? Will you watch it?

Even though i'm indifferent to him smoking, i'm quite pleased they portray him a little less of the cunt he is in Hellblazer. Constantine being constantly an arrogant egotism douchebag was one of the main reasons why i dispise the character. Usually i like the runs and overall series, i just cant deal with his dickhead behavior. So, i'm happy when i sense NBC softening his bad habits :)

That would be cool, I think he would translate very well into live action.

Yes, supernatural heroes like to keep it simple with the biker jackets and trenchcoats.

There's no denying magic men love trenchcoats

I'll give this a shot and hope it will be good, but I did find something off/disappointing about the trailer.

@billy_batson: It's not even just the girl though, he seems really energetic like the more reacent doctors and the fact they're trying to erll him as this mystery man that goes around solving abnormalities. Time will tell though and I'm still excited for it I regard less.

That looks good But I have 1 important complain that if I am wrong my turn it to amazing.

My problem is that Constantine looks like he gives a f**k, and I don't really sense that snarky douchebag in him, but then again this is a 3 minute trailer, so I could be wrong.

This + the cigarette ?

Upon rewatching the trailer idk why, but I'm getting a Dr Who vibe now more than Hellblazer.

Yeah, I've seen other people mentioning that too. Hopefully the girl dies so we wouldn't have to worry about it.

@billy_batson: Surely if DC owns the character it's up to them how his name is pronounced? I know it was shown to be Constan-tyne in the comics but that's just work for hire. Sure, it's not necessarily professional of them to change it if it's already been established, but they have that right.

What's the point of pronouncing it differently, though?

As a huge Hellblazer fan here are my worries:This feels very Hollywood, and makes him seem the Bad boy with the golden heart instead of the jerk he is. Does Constantine try to do good? Generally, but his true skill is in outsurviving friends and tricking his enemies. It is only a clip and i want to support show, but it made me worry a little..

I feel like in HB he wasn't really heroic but I felt a form of heroism from Alan Moore's "American Gothic" storyline was present in the character, so maybe they looked to that story for some character inspiration?

I got excited but then my skepticism set in after a few seconds. It might end up like Arrow where the first season is a bit of a drag but picks up. Could use better acting from the girl most def.

Marvel got the movies and DC has the TV shows.

Wrong. Marvel cinema is more popular with children though, can't argue that :) We'll talk in 5 or so years when DC has further reinforced their cinematic position, with hopes that they don't wear their characters dry or increase output while compromising quality or tone.

Anyway, this trailer is pretty good!

The girl who sees the spirits, does anyone else think this opens the door for a possible Boston Brand aka Deadman appearance?

I'm not sure why some people are mad at his accent...I didn't really have a problem with it, both from the trailer and the one scene I saw. Overall, I thought the trailer looked really promising.

Cheesy in a bad way (especially some dialogue), bad CGI, and an overly long first clip that tries to jam too much in. I'm not enthused.
