When speaking to director Francis Lawrence about his new Netflix movie “Slumberland” (streaming later this week), we had to ask him about his plans for “Constantine 2,” which was recently announced as officially happening. This new “Constantine” sequel, which will reunite him with original star Keanu Reeves and screenwriter Akiva Goldsman, will be different in at least one key aspect, at least if Lawrence has his way. Get ready for a hard-R “Constantine.”
While Lawrence said that he didn’t think “Constantine 2” would be his next project (the director also just finished shooting the “Hunger Games” prequel “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes”), “All I know is that Keanu and Akiva and I have been wanting to do it forever.”
