Would be incredible if this worked out and they could get Sandman and Death in there too.

Holy shoot! Hell yeah that would be cool!...Etrigan baby!

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

DC Horror is where it's at!

I know very little about Etrigan, Swamp Thing etc, but a film like this would be a welcomed change from the usual rinse repeat **** that WB/DC seem to pin their hopes on.

Obviously, having a great director on board makes all the difference too - one suited for this kind of story.

Rumors... Hot Rumor: 'Justice League Dark' Project MIGHT Have Their New Constantine — Latino-Review.com

Apparently Del Toro wanted Ron Perlman for Swamp Thing and the studio like that idea, but they're also keen on Colin Farrell for John Constantine, and Monica Bellucci for Madame Xanadu. Word is Ewan McGregor has also been approached for the Constantine role, but he may "fall back on" Jason Blood, AKA Etrigan the Demon. The site also adds that they're seeking a "comedic presence" for Deadman, and an Hispanic/black actress to fill the role of Zatanna.

Ron Perlman as Swamp Thing sounds great, and Colin Farrell doesn't even have to act, he can just be himself and he would make a good Constantine.

 

[RIDDICK]

Perlman as Swamp Thing and McGregor as Etrigan... Sounds TOO good to be true.

 

[EVILFACE]

That would be a good lineup!

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

That'd be ****ing fantastic! Farrell playing Ray from In Bruges would be perfect.

I think this will happen if Suicide Squad kills it.

 

[GasparZizou]

Damn near perfect castings, as expected from Del Toro.

 

[jnmx2000]

It looks like Del Toro isn't involved with this at all anymore, the rumored shortlist of directors is a pair of guys who made something called big bad wolf or something like that and the guy that directed the Evil Dead remake, no Del Toro. I wonder if he's even involved with the writing anymore.

 

[GasparZizou]

Well, according to the rumors, if I remember correctly, Del Toro wrote that script and suggested those actors, but he walked away voluntarily from the project because of multiple reasons, like the uncertainty of the movie ever happening and wanting to pursue his own personal projects like Pacific Rim 2 and Crimson Peak.

Hopefully they can bring him back in.

From what I read, they'd still be working from his script, which is supposed to be great, so, I'm still game. Especially if those casting rumors were to come to fruition.

I know, poor guy's been on a roll first he gets this "pushed back indefinitely", only to revive it without him, then PR2 gets pushed back, then the Silent Hills game, now Crimson Peak isn't doing so good.

I feel like JL Dark is exactly the boost he needs.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Maybe Del Toro should focus on one thing at a time, instead of working on 50 thousand "upcoming" projects.

 

[GasparZizou]

Most directors/artists work on various projects once, the sad part is that none of the bad stuff that's happened to him lately is his fault, it's the money people who cancel stuff on him for whatever reason.

Farrell could make a fine Constantine, but I think the guy in the TV show did a great job.

 

[EVILFACE]

Yea Matt Ryan was great. Hope CW picks the show back up.

 

[GasparZizou]

Apparently Matt Ryan's gonna be part of the Legends of Tomorrow team in season 2.
