We could’ve seen Keanu Reeves meet Jesus!
That was evident from the 15th anniversary panel during this week’s virtualComic-Conon Saturday.
This love is also why it hurt to hear all the talk about the sequels that never were.
“Oh my God.
[It] endlessly came up,” Goldsman said of sequel talks.
“Boy, we wanted to make… a hard-R sequel.
I think we’d probably make it tomorrow.
It was always a little bit of a feathered fish.”
One of those ideas, Goldsman mentioned, was that Reeves' John Constantine would’ve met Jesus.
That thought came from co-writer Frank Cappello.
“[John] wakes up in a cell.
He has to identify the prisoner… and it was Jesus,” Goldsman said.
After all, the first film did have Lucifer (Peter Stormare).
“We definitely talked about sequels more than the studio,” the filmmaker remarked.
“The movie did fairly well.”
The hard-R sequel seems to be something Lawrence, especially, really wanted to do.
He story about dealing with the MPAA will explain why.
“Warners then dictated that it had to be PG-13 because of what it cost.
They didn’t think there was anything we could do about it.”
Reeves fans were robbed.
