INTERVIEWS

Source : Wizard Magazine With : Keanu Reeves (John Constantine) Date : 22nd December 2004 I’ve got a lot of the graphic novels and collections. I read a few stories - it wasn’t like I didn’t read any of it.

He's a witch doctor, obviously is a great friend to John Constantine. At one point, he started doing what John Constantine is doing now. They used to do it together before he took a different direction.

The script never...we never intentionally went in and changed anything in the script in terms of like, taking out a sex scene or taking out a lot of blood and gore. It never really had that..
