    @Jack Angel: I really wanted to use this head for photoshopping, because it looks more constantineish....but alas, it didn't fit with the body.

    I could live with Daniel Craig, he's proved himself, but people don't realize Constantine isn't exactly "handsome" per se, he's just blond (sp).

    @pimsy: As much as I like Daniel Craig, I have to go with you on this one. Daniel Craig is in to good of a shape to play Constantine. Never thought I would say that someone was to built to play a comic book character.......

    It has to be someone who can not just play a ladies man, but also an @$$hole, because that's what he is. I don't want to like that I like him in a movie, I want to hate that I am rooting for him.

    I could live with Craig as Constantine, but as with most other comic characters, I would rather have some no-name in the role.

    Am I the only one that thinks Guy Pearce would have been the perfect John Constantine ten years ago? I think he could still pull it off, mind you, just would have been been perfect slightly younger.

    Clive Owen is literal perfect for the role. All they would have to do is dye his hair blond.

    i made a fan trailer a while back to see what paul bettany would be like as john.

    i'd like to see matt ryan get another shot at the role, though. even though constantine is cancelled. or david thewlis. his role in the movie "naked " is practically his audition tape for john. even the character's first name is johnny.
