In the wake of Sony’s success with Colleen Hoover’s It Ends With Us, which racked up $344.5M worldwide, Universal is getting in on the action with the New York Times bestselling author, having landed rights to her novel Reminders of Him. Though no director or stars are attached as of yet, the studio has aggressively dated the movie for Feb. 13, 2026 — the same Valetine’s Day corridor in which they’ve played their Fifty Shades of Grey movies.
Reminders of Him has sold over 5 million copies domestically, 6.5 million copies globally, and has been translated into 45 languages.
The novel follows Kenna Rowan, who returns to town after a five-year prison stint, hoping to reunite with her four-year-old daughter. But the bridges Kenna burned are proving impossible to rebuild. Everyone in her daughter’s life is determined to shut Kenna out, no matter how hard she works to prove herself. The...

Nach „Liebes Kind“ kommt mit „Achtsam Morden“ eine erneute Ausnahmeserie von Constantin Film zu Netflix. Nun gibt es einen ersten Trailer der pechschwarzen Krimigeschichte mit Tom Schilling in der Hauptrolle.
Schon bei der Netflix-Programmpräsentation „Next on Netflix“ im März fiel „Achtsam Morden“ auf als potenzielle Ausnahmeserie – nicht zuletzt, weil für die Hauptrolle in der von Martina Plura zusammen mit Max Zähle (sowie Boris Kunz) inszenierten Comedy-Crime-Saga mit Tom Schilling ein ausgemachter Kinostar in seiner nach „Ich und die anderen“ erst zweiten Serienhauptrolle zu sehen ist.
In den weiteren Rollen sieht man Emily Cox, Britta Hammelstein, Murathan Muslu, Peter Jordan, Pamuk Pilavci, Johannes Allmayer, Sascha Geršak, Marc Hosemann, Luca Maric.
Die von den Autoren Doron Wisotzky (auch Head-Autor), Anneke Janssen, Michael Kenda geschriebene Geschichte basiert auf dem gleichnamigen Bestseller von Karsten Dusse. Es handelt sich um eine Produktion der Constantin Film. Als Produzent:innen sind Jan Ehlert und Nina Viktoria Philipp an Bord.

Kill ‘Em All 2 picks up seven years after the events of the original, which makes sense since there’s seven years between the films, with Phillip reconnected with his daughter Vanessa and the two of them hiding out in southern Italy.
They obviously didn’t do a good job of it, as within the film’s first few minutes they’re attacked by goons working for Vlad Petrovic who is out to avenge the death of his brother Dimitri who was killed in the first film. This puts them on the run, trying to stay alive long enough to deal with Vlad and his crew, and the only way to do that is to kill ’em all.

The Arrowverse was truly an astounding piece of television storytelling, a daring experiment that set the standard for how to do interconnected universes on TV, and for how to bring DC heroes to the small screen in live-action. This vital part of TV history came about as superheroes were dominating the big screen and departed just as superhero media ceased to be a surefire bet.
Even today, the Arrowverse remains something special, a universe filled with shows of different tones and approaches. Before the Netflix Marvel series tried to distinguish one another with different color filters, the Arrowverse got started with the "Batman Begins"-esque "Arrow" — a show with many ups and downs, but an unquestionable legacy. After that came the silly and soapy superhero saga that is "The Flash" (which explored the multiverse years before the concept came to dominate the superhero genre), the progressive and idealistic "Supergirl," the noir-inspired "Batwoman,...

It’s Been 23 Years Since Keanu Reeves Made Fans Cry With His $44 Million Worth Sports Drama Hardball
Sure, Keanu Reeves might be listed as one of the action connoisseurs in Hollywood today but let’s not forget the time when he had us bawling in the sports drama, Hardball. The film contains probably one of the saddest and most tragic deaths in cinema history, giving viewers a reminder that life is unpredictable.

Nineteen years after the release of the DC Comics adaptation Constantine (watch it Here), a sequel is finally moving ahead with director Francis Lawrence back at the helm and star Keanu Reeves reprising the role of occult expert John Constantine… but it’s moving ahead slowly, because it has already been a couple of years since this project was first announced. Now it has taken a big step forward, as executive producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura revealed to ComicBook.com that the Constantine 2 script has been delivered. He just hasn’t read it yet.
The producer told ComicBook.com, “You know, (the script is) in my inbox right now. Funny enough, I’m too scared to read it, though. I want it to be good so bad. I probably read it in the next few days. When I get on an airplane.“

Keanu Reeves has been seen across a lot of different genres, embodying characters as versatile as his tremendous acting chops. But while he is more famous for his action projects like the John Wick saga and The Matrix film series, the actor hasn’t hesitated to star in projects of pretty much the opposite themes as well. Like absolute comedy, for instance.

Of course, not many people may know about this, but Reeves has even starred in a widely commended sitcom that couldn’t be sillier as compared to his other works. And, ironically enough, what landed him into this sitcom in the first place was nothing other than his sheer friendship with his co-star from his fan-favorite horror-fantasy Constantine, Peter Stormare!

Shortly after James Gunn announced the first "chapter" of the new Dcu slate last year, rumors began to circulate that a direct sequel to 2005's Constantine was in the works, and Warner Bros. would later confirm that the project was indeed in the early stages of development.
Since then, we've had conflicting reports relating to the movie's status, and since it's pretty much been radio silence since last February, it was generally assumed that the sequel had been scrapped.
However, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura has now revealed that the script has been completed... and he just needs to work up the courage to read it!

Daytime Confidential reports that the ABC daytime drama series has hired “All My Children” alum Alexa Havins (ex-Babe Chandler) to portray the daughter of Luke and Laura Spencer (Genie Francis and Anthony Geary), and the younger sister of Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson).
Since Daytime Confidential‘s reporting, TV Line has confirmed Havins has been cast as Lulu.
Last played by Emme Rylan, the return of Lulu marks a turning point for the character who was placed in a coma in 2020 when an explosion at the Floating Rib left several others injured and caused the deaths of Lulu’s love interest at the time, Dustin Phillips (Mark Lawson), and teenager Dev Cerci (Ashton Arbab).

There’s a saying that “matches are made in heaven” However, if Francis Ford Coppola makes one here on earth who would even think of denying it? Such was the case of Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves who played Mina and Jonathan Harker in Coppola’s 1992 Gothic horror “Dracula”. In an interview relating to her recent appearance in the movie “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” Ryder revealed that Keanu and she still call each other husband and wife to this day.

The world of horror and thriller cinema has seen its fair share of anti-heroes, from Hannibal Lecter to Patrick Bateman, but the latest entry in this dark lineage is Clare Bleecker, a teenage sociopath played by Bella Thorne in Mitzi Peirone’s sophomore feature, Saint Clare.
Based on Don Roff’s novel Clare at Sixteen, this film takes the familiar tropes of a morally ambiguous protagonist and attempts to mix them with a blend of Gothic fantasy, Southern noir, and religious symbolism. The result is a visually arresting but narratively convoluted piece that struggles to deliver on its intriguing premise.
From the outset, Saint Clare hooks its audience with the chilling declaration from Clare herself, borrowing from Joan of Arc: “Everything I have said and done has been in the hands of God. I was born to do this. I am not afraid.” It’s a bold statement that...

It was the year 1992 when Keanu Reeves (who hadn’t quite found his fame for The Matrix) worked alongside Gary Oldman and veteran director Francis Ford Coppola in the film Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

In the movie, Reeves portrayed the role of Jonathan Harker, the fiance to Winona Ryder’s Mina Murray. Well, a concept trailer released on the internet asks whether Keanu Reeves and Gary Oldman had swapped their roles.

Days of our Lives vet Suzanne Rogers celebrated a milestone anniversary the other day.
Last week, Suzanne marked 51 years of playing Maggie Horton Kiriakis on the hit Peacock soap.
There’s no question that Maggie has been put through the wringer during her time in Salem.
Suzanne has seen a lot of playing her alter ego and doesn’t always agree with what’s written on the page.
That was the case not so long ago when the actress fought the writers every step of the way during one storyline.
While speaking about her five decades on Days, Suzanne opened up about what storyline had her pushing back, and it’s likely not what you think.

For ten years, we as moviegoers were treated to both the rise and fall of the DC Extended Universe, or Decu for short (read our rankings here). The rise began with the release of Man of Steel in 2013, directed by Zack Snyder, marking the start of an ambitious plan to create a shared cinematic universe featuring iconic DC Comics characters. This was followed by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad which expanded the universe and introduced key characters. They were both met with less-than-stellar reviews. Over the years we would see success like Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Shazam as well as James Gunn’s brilliant take on The Suicide Squad. There were also mixed-reviewed films like Justice League, Wonder Woman 1984, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom and The Flash (which we loved). The Dceu couldn’t compete with Marvel with tons of these movies failing to connect with critics and audiences.

Many of you will likely know filmmaker Neil Marshall best for movies like Dog Soldiers, The Descent, and Doomsday before he shifted gears to television where he received widespread acclaim for helming episodes of Game of Thrones, Hannibal, and more.
On the superhero side, he worked on NBC's well-received Constantine TV series and later helmed 2019's Hellboy reboot starring David Harbour. Now, though, he's taken the helm of Duchess, an action-packed new British action-crime thriller starring - and co-written and produced by - Charlotte Kirk.

The Duchess, to the pantheon of iconic female action heroes. "It's in the back of your mind that it would be very nice if it happened and it still would be. That's going to...

Nearly two decades ago we were gifted with a Constantine film starring Keanu Reeves in the leading role. Although at the time it wasn’t as well received as Warner Bros. might have hoped. Over the years the DC film has gained popularity but after Reeves’ astronomical success with the action film franchise John Wick. The prospect of a Constantine sequel wasn’t as far fetched as the fans might have thought.
In November 2020, actor Peter Stormare who played the role of Lucifer in the original hinted that a sequel might be “in the works“. Then in 2023, Francis Lawrence, the director of Constantime revealed that he was developing ideas for the sequel with Reeves returning as the chainsmoking demon hunter. However, after that the updates on the sequel stopped and with the whole James Gunn DC drama, the future of the sequel seemed to be in a bit of danger.

Although little under two decades have passed, Keanu Reeves’ John Constantine might finally be returning to the big screen! In November 2012, filmmaker Guillermo del Toro signed a deal to create a Justice League Dark film centered around DC Comics’ supernatural characters, including John Constantine. In November 2020, actor Peter Stormare hinted at a sequel being “in the works” via an Instagram post. However, neither Warner Bros. representatives nor Reeves immediately confirmed this.
Then, back in 2023, Francis Lawrence confirmed that he was working on some ideas for the iconic movie with Keanu Reeves but every time they would come up with something concrete the regime at DC studio would change.
The latest update comes to us from Reeves’ latest appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Reeves was reminded that he claimed several years ago that he would like to play Constantine again, and since then several major headlines indicate that...

Whether you feel Ridley Scott's Best Picture winner "Gladiator" is a red-blooded, fist-pumping swords and sandals brouhaha or a "muddy, fuzzy, and indistinct" affair, we can surely all agree it's got a killer cast. Russell Crowe as the stoic hero Maximus, playing the role that snagged him an Oscar a year after he should've won for "The Insider," is the calm at the center of the storm. He has to be a little boring, otherwise he wouldn't work as the foil to Joaquin Phoenix's larger-than-life turn as Commodus.
The rest of the ensemble is wall-to-wall veterans firing on all cylinders, including Connie Nielsen as Maximus' incorruptible ex and Commodus' sister Lucilla, Richard Harris as Marcus Aurelius (playing the Roman emperor as a frail old man finally forced to reckon with his bloody legacy), Djimon Hounsou as Maximus' confidante, fellow enslaved arena fighter, and all-around good guy, Juba, and...

As if the grim, dark costume, menacing aura, night-prowling tendencies, and lurking in the shadows weren’t indication enough, it is a well-known fact that Batman has always had a strong connection with otherworldly elements since the very beginning. So much so that Batman can be regarded as the first Gothic superhero, as the unsung co-creator artist Bill Finger had imbued the character with a darker shade of a world that went beyond the trappings of logic and reason. This aspect of the character was reflected very well in Batman: The Animated Series, where the stylized world design, background score, emotional trappings, and characterizations worked in unison to blend neo-noir and gothic horror elements.

Filmmaker Neil Marshall made a name for himself by directing movies like Dog Soldiers, The Descent, and Doomsday before shifting gears to television where he received widespread acclaim for helming episodes of Game of Thrones, Hannibal, and more.
He first tackled a comic book adaptation with NBC's Constantine. The series toned down its title character for network television and was cancelled after 13 episodes; despite that, it was a hit with fans and, thanks to the popularity of Matt Ryan's interpretation, the Hellblazer found a second life on The CW.
In 2019, Marshall set his sights on Hellboy. The movie already had the odds stacked against it thanks to the demand for Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy 3, but issues behind the scenes derailed the project and it proved a critical and commercial disappointment.

Keanu Reeves — monastic, immortal, wild, and intellectual — is an entity unto himself, a creature that has willed a kind of goodness into this world that defies the condition he was born into. Now held to a pedestal, Reeves refuses to be defined by the fame he has accrued through 50 years of his career, but never shrugs away the love and adoration from his fans.

Neil Marshall got his feature directorial career started with one of the coolest werewolf movies ever made, Dog Soldiers, which begins with a scene where a camper played by Craig Conway gets attacked by a monstrous beast. Marshall went on to cast Conway as a different sort of monstrous beast in his next film, The Descent, then as a power-hungry cannibal named Sol in his film Doomsday (pictured above). Now Marshall is serving as an executive producer on Conway’s own feature directorial debut… and judging by the title, Conway might be getting his directing career started in a way similar to Marshall’s own. Because when I see the title Little Red, my first thought is that this could be a werewolf movie.
Deadline has confirmed that Little Red “will reimagine the Little Red Riding Hood story through a contemporary lens.” The involvement of werewolves, however, has not been confirmed.

Last month, we got a look at the trailer for the action thriller Duchess, the latest film from director Neil Marshall. Saban Films will be giving Duchess a digital and VOD release on August 9th… and with that date just one week away, a pair of promotional clips have made their way online. They’re called the “Home Invasion” and “Garage Ambush” clips, and you can watch them right here in this article.
In the UK, Duchess will be getting a limited theatrical release on August 9th, and will then be available for digital download on the 12th.
Marshall wrote the Duchess screenplay with Charlotte Kirk, who also stars as the title character, a tough, working-class, petty criminal who morphs into an anti-heroine to be reckoned with in a murky underworld, in the treacherous world of diamond smuggling. Determined to seek retribution she launches into a vicious and violent pursuit for vengeance.

However, Reeves is not just a badass on-screen but also off-screen. The actor reportedly has a prized motorcycle collection which he is extremely proud of. Reeves was so attached to his hobby of riding that he did not stop even after multiple accidents, including one that was near fatal.

When a movie enters the post-production stage, a lot of changes can happen that make the film unrecognizable. Plot points can be added or removed, and that is when the film truly begins to take shape. This can also involve cutting out entire characters for the sake of making the film better. Unfortunately, this is exactly what happened to Michelle Monaghan in Constantine.

The 2005 film, starring Keanu Reeves, was certainly iconic in many ways. However, there was one key element that the producers ended up cutting out in post-production; Monaghan’s character. While this change was done internally and helped give the film the theme they were looking for, fans cannot help but be upset that it was done at the expense of the actress.

It was originally announced a couple years back that Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend, Constantine) was on board to direct a feature film adaptation of the video game BioShock for Netflix, and a new update from producer Roy Lee this week suggests that’s still the case.
Lee explained at Comic-Con last night, however, that the scope of the project has changed.
“The new regime [at Netflix] has lowered the budgets,” Lee explains.
He adds, “So we’re doing a much smaller version… It’s going to be a more personal point of view, as opposed to a grander, more epic project.”
Stay tuned for more on Netflix’s BioShock movie as we learn it.
This update was provided by Roy Lee during Collider’s Producers on Producers panel at San Diego Comic-Con this week. Thanks to Deadline for providing the quote transcriptions.

Stay tuned for more on Netflix’s BioShock movie as we learn it.

Yesterday, we learned that production has begun on an adaptation of the Stephen King novel The Long Walk (which was, like The Running Man and Thinner, published under the pen name Richard Bachman), with director Francis Lawrence, whose previous credits include Constantine, I Am Legend, Water for Elephants, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Parts 1 and 2, Red Sparrow, Slumberland, and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, at the helm. Now Deadline has broken the news that the cast of the film includes Star Wars legend Mark Hamill, who just recently finished working on another King adaptation called The Life of Chuck, and Judy Greer of the Halloween and Ant-Man franchises. Details on the characters they’ll be playing have not been revealed. Having read the source material, The Major and the mom of the lead character are the first possibilities that come to my mind.

Die Werbekampagne für das deutsche Epos „Hagen – Im Tal der Nibelungen“ nimmt Fahrt auf. Jetzt enthüllte Constantin Film das erste Poster, und der Trailer, den Spot vor zwei Wochen erstmals präsentieren konnte, geht offiziell an den Start.
Nachdem Constantin Film im ersten Halbjahr mit „Chantal im Märchenland“ den bisher erfolgreichsten deutschen Film des Jahres (und nach Umsatz erfolgreichsten deutschen Film seit „Ein perfektes Geheimnis“ aus dem Jahr 2019) am Start hatte, richtet sich das Augenmerk des Münchner Konzerns nun auf das Schwergewicht im zweiten Halbjahr: „Hagen – Im Tal der Nibelungen“ von dem Filmemacherduo Philipp Stennert und Cyrill Boss wird am 17. Oktober in den Kinos landen, eine der aufwändigsten deutschen Produktionen überhaupt, die das legendäre Nibelungenlied in Form eines bildgewaltigen und wirkmächtigen Epos erzählt.
Jetzt beginnt bereits die heiße Phase der Werbekampagne, um sicherzustellen, dass das Filmspektakel mit Gijs Naber als Hagen von Tronje und Jannis Niewöhner als Siegfried von...

An adaptation of the Stephen King novel The Long Walk has been trudging through development hell for decades. At one point, the rights were in the hands of Frank Darabont, who made the King adaptations The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, and The Mist. Then the rights passed over to New Line Cinema, where Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark director André Øvredal was hired to direct the film from a screenplay by James Vanderbilt, whose credits include the two most recent Scream movies. While doing the press rounds for his film The Last Voyage of the Demeter last year, Øvredal revealed that he was no longer involved with The Long Walk, and said not making that movie is one of the big regrets of his life. Last November, Francis Lawrence, whose previous credits include Constantine, I Am Legend, Water for Elephants, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, The Hunger...

Good news for Constantine fans! Keanu Reeves, the star of the original 2005 movie, recently gave us some hope about a possible sequel.
When Keanu was on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, he opened up about Constantine 2. He said things are really moving forward with the project after years of maybes. “It went from ‘no’ to ‘maybe’ and now it’s more of a ‘kinda yes’,” Keanu told Colbert.
The best part is they have a script in the works right now. This means Constantine 2 isn’t just an idea anymore – it’s actually in development! That’s pretty cool since the first movie had mixed reviews and it’s been a long time since 2005.
In Constantine, Keanu plays John Constantine. He’s a detective who can see and talk to half-angels and half-demons. Even though some critics didn’t like it, the movie has a big fan base today.
