Tonight, NBC’s supernatural drama Constantine is all new. Check the preview below to see what evil John has to cast out tonight. Recently, Charles Halford--the actor who plays Constantine’s unkillable sidekick, Chas Chandler (portrayed by Shia LaBeouf in the movie version) opened up about his newfound love for the DC Vertigo Hellblazer comics and what stories he hopes see brought to life from the series.
The official plot synopsis for tonight’s all new episode of Grimm, titled “Danse Vaudou,” reads:
“Constantine's unusual knowledge of a string of crimes gets him noticed in a bad way by a detective in New Orleans; at the same time, he forms an unholy alliance with Papa Midnite to deal with a deadly threat involving a voodoo ritual used to communicate with departed loved ones.”
True Detective's Charles Halford plays John Constantine's oldest and seemingly unkillable friend Chas Chandler. Even though his character’s resurrection powers are not seen in the Hellblazer comics, Halford is still a major fan of the books. Recently, Halford opened up to Entertainment Weekly about the comic stories he would like to tackle on the show:
"We’ve got 25-plus years of comics to dig into, and the writers, they’ve read the whole cannon. So we’d ideally like to make it a more serialized show, and there’s elements of that in this first season. I would like, personally, to be able to really dig into some of these great arcs. I would love to see ‘Dangerous Habits’ or ‘Royal Blood.’ I’m not writing it, but I’m still a fanboy.”
However, it might take sometime to get the show to that point, as Halford ads:
“But I think we’re still finding our voice and trying to meet this cult classic of a fantastic comic book with a network setting. And it’s a bit of a dance. It’s a fun dance. I always looked at is as, you had these fantastic comic book writers throughout the run of Constantine … and everyone of them put their own stamp on Constantine. Even the film, which I have yet to see.”
Check out the all new episode of Constantine tonight at 10:00 p.m. eastern on NBC.
