Constantine – Spoiler-free Preview – “The Saint of Last Resorts” Part 2

16 January, 2015 gothamtvpodcastgmail-com Comments Off

Christmas is now behind us and the New Year is rung in and as if by magic so our favourite demon-hunter and petty dabbler of the dark arts, John Constantine, returns in tonight’s culmination of the second part of “The Saint of Last Resorts” and we’ve been lucky enough to see the resolution of this two part story-arc. In the last episode, not only did we find out that John Constantine (Matt Ryan) had a weakness and it came in the form of a resilient, take-no-nonsense Nun, called Anne-Marie Flynn (Claire van der Boom), but we also left John Constantine in a very very perilous place. After being shot by Flynn and with the Invulche bearing down on him underneath the monastery. In tonight’s episode we see Constantine left vulnerable with only a single desperate move to make placing him in even greater danger. As his friends come together to save him from the evil within, the Brujería witches, already responsible for the Invulche, unleash another of their weapons to destroy John Constantine. Meanwhile Zed must also rescue herself from overbearing fatherly love, as she tries to escape from her captors who had breached the defences of Constantine’s base (Jasper’s Mill House).

Enjoy tonight’s episode. Remember that with five episodes left to air in season one that you can catch them on NBC at the new time of 8pm EST on Fridays in the USA and Canada and in the UK on Amazon Prime the day after. Constantine, starring Matt Ryan, Angélica Celaya, Harold Perrineau and Charles Halford, returns next Friday, 23rd January, for episode ten “Quid Pro Quo“.

Constantine Season 1 Episode 8: “The Saint of Last Resorts” Part 1 Review

8 January, 2015 gothamtvpodcastgmail-com Comments Off

As a two-part episode, split over Constantine’s mid-season break, “The Saint of Last Resorts” (Part 1) is an excellent first half of the overarching episode eight that features both religion and a number of dark and scary mythical creatures that further expand and deepen the season’s “Darkness Rising” theme. John (Matt Ryan) and Chas (Charles Halford) head to Mexico after a reluctant request by another former friend of John Constantine to investigate the disappearance of new born babies and the deaths of their mothers. The circumstances that John Constantine finds himself are at once both surprising and dangerous. Whilst Zed (Angélica Celaya) remains back at the mill house this allows us to get a glimpse in to some more aspects and people from her personal life.

At the heart of this episode’s story is the need of evil to prey on the pure as personified by the new born and it’s both tense and scary. In this case the evil that John is set against comes in the form of the Invunche, created by and the servants of the Brujería witches (both from the folklore of the Chiloé Island in Chile), who are kidnapping new born babies from a convent in Mexico. We discover that these two entities are involved with the rising darkness and find out that this involves a plot to tear down the barrier that keeps mankind safe from the beasts and entities of hell. There is a real sense in the episode that Constantine is up against a real evil and a dark predator that has him worried. It is great to feel John’s sense of trepidation and anxiety at the Invunche and why they are on earth. They are a great adversary and look truly menacing in the episode with their twisted and deformed limbs and head. It is again testament to the visual effects of Constantine that they look so good.

A nice little touch from the episode was the attention to detail that the show lovingly provides when Chas and John arrive at the convent to meet Anne-Marie, they turn up at the front steps of the convent in a green VW Beetle taxi that is so widespread in Mexico. We’ve already seen the yellow NYC taxi and I can’t wait to see how they introduce a London Black Cab or an Indian Tuk Tuk.

Zed’s side story is good and is established through her male suitor from her art class in “Blessed are the Damned”, Eddie (David A. Gregory), who is still trying to set up a date with her. Once she succumbs to his charms and good looks we realise that Eddie is not all that he seems as does she following a vision of him. With this we are introduced to Eddie’s companions and Zed’s “family” the Resurrection Crusade. Back at Constantine’s base they try to capture Zed to bring her back to her father we are treated to a great little chase sequence through many of the nooks, crannies and vast open (TARDIS-like) spaces of Constantine’s mill house. As Zed attempts her escape we hear that she is called “Mary” but ultimately Zed is drugged and captured by the Crusade.This should add further intrigue and possibilities to her character into the second part of this episode and in later episodes of this season. The adventures of Zed, especially the exploration of the mill house and her run in with the Resurrection Crusade, are excellent and sets up a more intimate story-arc for her character and it is good to see her involved in the episode even though she has not headed off with Constantine. Also, unlike other episodes this season it is good to see that at last Zed’s absence from the main arc for this episode is explained to the audience. This is a positive development on why certain characters pop in and out of episodes.

The excellence of the episode, however, revolves around who embroils John and Chas in the case; after Constantine experiences a sort-of vision quest from a reluctant Sister Anne-Marie Flynn (Claire van der Boom) from the convent who is all too familiar with John’s special skill set. We discover that Anne-Marie is the third member of John’s ill-fated “Newcastle Crew”, which also includes Ritchie Simpson (Jeremy Davies) in “Non Est Asylum” and Gary Lester (Jonjo O’Neill) from a “Feast of Friends”. This gradual introduction to the members of the crew allows a deepening of John Constantine’s back story without the usual forced flashbacks. The difference in this situation is Anne-Marie is also an old flame of Constantine, who partied hard, enjoyed punk music and who had intimate moments with John, and isn’t just another member of the Newcastle crew. This adds a lovely dynamic that is one of the strongest aspects of this episode. Claire van der Boom provides the perfect balance of introspection and cold steel to her eyes as she lays her gaze over John again and Matt Ryan delivers the perfectly tortured responses, which are brilliant.

Both Anne-Marie and Constantine still suffer guilt from the events of Newcastle but Anne-Marie’s is coloured with a disdain for John’s exploitation of the other members of the team and his choices after the loss of Astra (Bailey Tippen). This leads to some great reflections between the two protagonists about their personal relationship and on their involvement in the disaster that was Newcastle. In these moments the other element of Anne-Marie that also works really well in the episode is her strength as a woman with a strong will of her own and a clear idea of right and wrong; this brings a great counter point to Constantine’s wit and sarcasm since it renders his disarming weapon useless. Her toughness also contrasts nicely with the poor Gary Lester from a “Feast of Friends” and this is where the episode’s twist comes. She is unwilling to allow herself to be sacrificed like Gary Lester and calls it out to Constantine as she escapes with the rescued baby. In this instance she sacrifices John to the Invunche bearing down upon them with a shot to the gut leaving her former lover in a dangerous and perilous situation as part one of the episode closes.

Overall, this is another good episode of Constantine. The story surrounding the convent and baby kidnapping is sufficiently eerie and disturbing, especially as it adds a new enemy in the form of the Brujería to the rising darkness story arc. The episode opens up a new side to Zed on her own away from John and begins to flesh out her back-story with the mention of her father and her kidnap by the Resurrection Crusade. We also get another piece of the puzzle to the Newcastle slow-burn and of course to Constantine’s back-story with the arrival of Anne-Marie Flynn, which is the best part of this episode. The episode is an excellent introductory first part to the story arc which set up a lot of different and intriguing areas to be explored in part two of “The Saint of Last Resorts”. This is an exciting opportunity to find out how these different threads play out: What will happen to Zed? Will we meet her father? Why is she called Mary? What is John’s fate? Will there be any form of redemption between Anne-Marie and Constantine? What we do know is that John Constantine will find himself in even greater peril in Part two and we can’t wait to see how it plays out.

Constantine, starring Matt Ryan, Angélica Celaya, Harold Perrineau and Charles Halford, airs on NBC in the USA and will return on Friday 16th January 2015 for the second part of “The Saint of Last Resorts” at the earlier time of 8pm EST/7pm CST. Constantine is also available in the UK through Amazon Prime Instant Video the day after broadcast on NBC in the US.

Constantine Season 1 Episode 7: “Blessed are the Damned” Review.

Constantine Season 1 Episode 7: “Blessed are the Damned” Review. “John Constantine Snake bite and feathers”

US Airdate – Friday 5th November on NBC catch up on NBC on Demand
UK Airdate – Saturday 6th November on Amazon Prime Instant Video

Directed by: Nick Gomez, Episode Written by: Sneha Koorse , Series created by David S. Goyer and Daniel Cerone.

Read our interviews with Matt Ryan, David S. Goyer and Angélica Celaya about Constantine or listen to the full interviews here or read our interview with Daniel Cerone and David S. Goyer about Season one here.

Full Spoilers for the episode 7 – Blessed are the Damned follow below.

Pastor Zachary (Patrick Carroll) is looking for an experience that will lift his followers who have been dwindling since his father passed away. In order to excite and entice the congregation he reintroduces poisonous venomous snakes into his sermon. After one of them bites the minister he returns from a near death experience with the ability to cure and heal the sick including regrowing a parishioners leg.

This strange occurrence puts Pastor Zachary on the blood stained map of John Constantine (Matt Ryan) and Zed (Angelica Celaya). What begins as an episode reminiscent of True Detective or Supernatural takes a significant turn when one of the cured flock attacks a doctor and police officer while trying to make his way back his way back to Pastor Zachary’s church.

Constantine is at a loss to explain why or how the Pastor has gained these extraordinary powers so he sends Zed to use her powers when she touches him to see the truth. What is revealed to her is an angel. Having had no experience with angels, Zed begins to question everything she knows about the supernatural. John attempts to enlist the help of his angel guide Manny (Harold Perrineau) but only gets confirmation that “The Rising Darkness” has led to significantly more powerful events happening than John has experienced before. Frustrated by the lack of advice from Manny, John uses Zed to locate the fallen angel.
He is told by the angel, Imogen, that a human she was carrying to the afterlife plucked a feather from her wings sending her plummeting to earth and him back to his body with the significantly enhanced powers. It’s up to John with the help of Manny and Zed to stop this ultra powerful Pastor Zachary.

As a viewer I found myself trying to solve the mystery of why the Pastor has these powers and the reveal of Imogen adds a lot to the series mythos. That’s one of the benefits of this episode in particular is that it does add more to the overarching story, we get more information about The Rising Darkness and what it is actually doing. Manny finally intervenes/interferes to help John saying there will be consequences. The shows insistence on a hybrid of standalone episodes ad serialized elements has frustrated at times. I find it difficult when sizable events such as the fate of Gary Lester have no impact on Constantine or the surrounding characters in following episodes, I also find the transient nature of Zed and Chas (Chalie Halford) difficult at times. Some episodes they are in some they’re out there might be a line of dialogue to explain it but there may not. But hopefully with both Zed and Chas in the two-parter “The Saint of Last Resorts” beginning on Friday 12th December these minor complaints will be resolved.

Constantine, starring Matt Ryan, Angélica Celaya, Harold Perrineau and Charles Halford, airs on NBC in the USA and will return at 10PM next Friday the 12th December for episode 8 “The Saint of Last Resort” part one of a two part episode to be completed in January. Constantine is also available in the UK through Amazon Prime Instant Video the day after broadcast in the USA.

Constantine Season 1 Episode 4: “A Feast of Friends” Review

16 November, 2014 gothamtvpodcastgmail-com Comments Off

Constantine Season 1 Episode 4: “A Feast of Friends” Review. “John Constantine is the dog’s nuts“

US Airdate – Friday 14th November on NBC catch up on NBC on Demand
UK Airdate – Saturday 15th November on Amazon Prime Instant Video

Directed by: John F. Showalter, Episode Written by: Cameron Welsh, Series created by David S. Goyer and Daniel Cerone.

Following our introduction to trainee medium Zed Martin (Angélica Celaya) in episode 2 – The Darkness Beneath and the demon weapon collector and Voodoo priest Papa Midnite (Michael James Shaw) in last weeks episode – Devils Vinyl, episode 4 of Constantine introduces us to another big character from the Hellblazer series John’s mate Gary Lester (Northern Irish actor Jonjo O’Neill) as he arrives in Atlanta after a drug and alcohol induced binge which took him from Newcastle to the Sudan. He’s brought with him to Atlanta a hunger that no one would want to experience. As another side of John Constantine (Matt Ryan) is revealed can he solve the mystery in Atlanta and help out this old friend from his Newcastle Crew?

Read our interviews with Matt Ryan, David S. Goyer and Angélica Celaya about Constantine or listen to them here.

Full Spoilers for the episode 4 – A Feast of Friends follow.

Gary “Gaz” Lester arrives in the Atlanta airport, just off a flight from Sudan, sweating and looking nervous and it’s no wonder the security guard take him in for further questioning. During his interview at the airport we discover that Lester is carrying an artifact with him from Khartoum containing the hunger demon Mnemoth. An entity that gets it’s strength from humanity’s compulsive desire to consume. The artifact is smashed leading to the release of Mnemoth who possesses the body of the security official.

From the exciting opening of the episode throughout the first half of “A Feast of Friends” the character of Gary Lester is laid bare. A former hanger-on of Constantine, Gary had more money than sense. Always trying some form of “Party drug” the events of Newcastle pushed him over the edge into full blown heroin addiction. While we get a few more details about the incident with the young girl Astra in Newcastle – “A city in the North of England with bad weather and a worse football team” – the whole picture is still being kept back by Constantine as only snippets of the incident get drip fed to Zed and the audience. Wracked with guilt Gaz went on a massive drink and drug binge after the incident and didn’t contact John again. Only coming to him now when he needs help.

There’s a great interplay between the central three characters in the episode. As Zed learns about Gary Lester’s addiction through her psychic touch to connect with Gary, which he uses against her later in the episode as a weapon and it shows the depths he will sink to. The insistence of Zed that Gary was “wracked with guilt, he’s going after the demon himself” which she knows as she’s connected directly with his mind only to be corrected by Constantine “He’s told you that did he? That’s not what’s happening,”…”I see the truth, Gary’s hopelessly addicted to heroin and let me give you a tip about addicts, between thought and action comes temptation, always” is a very well written scene. When John’s suspicions are confirmed and Gary has in fact run out to get some heroin rather than fighting the demon it’s heart-breaking and from this point onwards you know Gary is doomed. It’s nice to see the role of Zed expand in this episode into more of an emotional challenge to John. This scene between them with Zed experiencing Gary’s withdrawal symptoms and his lies to himself lead to this heartfelt discussion between her and John. We hope to see the impact of John’s actions play out in their relationship in future episodes.

While “Feast of Friends” is based on Hellblazer issues #1 and #2 and is a very faithful adaptation, some of the finer details have obviously been excluded. It’s a pity that Papa Midnite couldn’t be worked in as the shaman that John turns to for help to solve the problem of Mnemoth’s strength. However, given their run-in the last episode it may of felt a little contrived for an audience to buy into Midnite helping John so soon. The scene with the shaman Nomo and John taking the greatest drug in the world was an excellent piece in both Constantine’s tripped out humour and the visual effects with John “tripping balls” in the pursuit of why Mnemoth is so powerful and his connection to The Rising Darkness.

One piece that has been simplified is the attraction of the demon Mnemoth to people who have addictions. While it’s called out that the demon is responsible for famines in African nations, in the source material Mnemoth drives a comic addict to eat his own precious comic books and Gary back to his drug addiction making him more sympathetic than simply a pathetic junkie unable to control his addiction.

John’s sacrifice of his “mate” Gaz, though signposted a bit throughout the episode, feels genuinely shocking and is a fascinating early revelation on John Constantine’s attitude and ruthlessness in this demonic world. He’s not willing to do anything to save a friend but he is willing to do absolutely anything to save the world regardless of the impact on his soul. The end of the episode with John and the dubiously intentioned Angel Manny (Harold Perrineau) watching over the screaming, now possessed Gary Lester as Bear McCreary’s beautiful score plays is the best scene we’ve had in the show so far. It is both a deeply touching and tough ending and it is a quality scene in what it portrays that makes Constantine appointment TV.

Constantine, starring Matt Ryan, Angélica Celaya, Harold Perrineau and Charles Halford, airs on NBC in the USA and will return at 10PM next Friday the 21st November for episode 5 “Danse Vaudou” with an introduction to another well know DC Comics character. Constantine is also available in the UK through Amazon Prime Instant Video the day after broadcast on NBC in the US.

NYCC Interviews Constantine – with Angélica Celaya – Gotham TV Podcast Exclusive

31 October, 2014 gothamtvpodcastgmail-com Comments Off

Exclusive: Gotham TV Podcast were lucky enough to sit down at New York Comic Con 2014 to discuss Constantine with Matt Ryan (John Constantine), Angélica Celaya (Zed) and show creator and executive producer David S. Goyer. The roundtable interview included questions from other journalists present and our own questions to the cast and creator.

In our final Constantine interview we caught up with Angélica Celaya who plays Zed about what drew her to the role of Zed, her connection with John Constantine, staying in with the bad boys of Hellblazer to prepare for her role and her favourite moment so far. You can listen to our full set of interviews from New York Comic Con on the podcast below with or you can read on for the transcript of Ms. Celaya’s interview.

Question – So what really drew you the most to Zed?

Her sarcasm, I love her sarcasm. I love that she doesn’t take any crap from anybody especially John. I like that she is, you know, a little sneaky and she’s rough and she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty. I like that she’s an empowering woman. I love it.

Question – Hellblazer was a very long running series and Constantine is in the New 52, he’s got his own series. When you got the part of Zed how much did you go and read to catch up on who she [Zed] is?

Well they gave me volumes of Hellblazer and it was like here you go this is Zed; and I stayed in, instead of having a Saturday night out with my friends and stuff, I stayed in with the bad boys of Hellblazer and it knocked my socks off. That’s why I get the sarcasm and understanding her it’s like…OH! I see you!

Question – What can you tell us about how Zed enters the picture in the TV series. Are you able to tell us anything about that?

Well the new trailer came out yesterday (October 9th), a little teaser, and we see her drawing and she is lost in her [own] head. Zed is lost and she just crashes in to the world of John Constantine. Its just like, whatever is going on in your head is reality and it is that realisation of you’re not crazy and that’s Zed in this first moment that we meet her.

GTVP Question – We caught the pilot screening on Thursday and its quite a creepy ending, you’re drawing away and there is all those iconic pictures of John Constantine . There seems to be a psychic connection between the two of you. How much of a connection is there and how does that play out over the series?

It evolves, it becomes even more, it gets crazy, it gets messed up, it gets to the point where she opens…oh my God… I wish I could tell you it’s more than what we see [from the pilot] that’s just the tip of the iceberg. It becomes a whole new level for Zed each episode gets bigger.

Question – So obviously you’ve just started, but how long have you been filming and, without spoiling too much, do you have a favourite moment of your time as Zed?

So we’ve been filming since July. So we’ve been going for a while and we’re so eager for October 24th to come. My favourite moment…favourite moment, I mean it’s a moment between John and me on the couch, in the mill house, and it’s our first moment where we are real with each other. Where he’s not sarcastic and I’m not being, you know, a bitch [laugh]. I’m not rough, I have no walls around me and I am what I am; that’s my favourite moment because it’s the real Zed not this facade she puts out there so she can hide.

Question – Who do you think is your biggest ally at the moment?

John Constantine, he’s the teacher, he is to me, you know, as Zed he’s my teacher. He’s the one that explains to me and leads me in to this world; and Zed is this very eager learner you know, yes, yes I want to learn more and more and get in there. So it’s John.

Constantine Season 1 Episode 1: “Non Est Asylum” Review

31 October, 2014 gothamtvpodcastgmail-com Comments Off

Constantine Season 1 Episode 1: “Non Est Asylum” Review. “The Demons he fights aren’t just his own“

At New York Comic Con 2014 we got to check out the screening of the pilot episode, “Non Est Asylum“, of NBC’s new series Constantine based on the much beloved Vertigo character John Constantine and the widely popular and successful Hellblazer comic series. In the spirit of Halloween and as the witching hour approaches here are our thoughts and review of “Non Est Asylum“. [Beware the full episode SPOILERS below]

Listen to our interviews with Matt Ryan, David S. Goyer and Angélica Celaya here

Where better to meet our protagonist the Master of the Dark Arts…sorry I mean petty dabbler…John Constantine (Matt Ryan) than at Ravenscar Asylum the psychiatric facility where he’s getting probed about his state of mind by Dr. Roger Huntoon (Miles Anderson). He’s been perscribed therapy of an electrical nature to help him forget, oh, and he wants to forget the events (and guilt) of his botched exorcism of a young girl named Astra (Bailey Tippen) in Newcastle. The demon (Nergal) conjured on that fateful night by Constantine damns Astra and himself to hell! Here at Ravenscar we get our first glimpse of the down-to-earth John Constantine who is portrayed with aplomb by Matt Ryan. He grabs this character by the trench coat and strikes a great balance between a wicked dry wit, being endearing and protective yet a jerk whilst all-the-time expressing himself with a tasty language peppered with generous amounts of swearing. He’s also not afraid of some self-harm (he wanted, no he asked for, the electric therapy). Even down to the tone of the character with the khaki trench coat, blond hair, the occasional trails of cigarette smoke (he is after all a chain smoker) and his Northern English accent Constantine feels and looks special. Believe it or not this is our hero or anti-hero who will fight against demons and ghouls in a battle to save humanity from the world of evil…and he’s great! For me Matt Ryan is excellent as Constantine pulling off that ever so difficult balancing act of fan expectation and delivering his great performance of this much loved character.

Whilst at the asylum another patient becomes possessed by an entity that we discover to be an old dead friend, Jasper Winters, that leaves a message for John in paint (don’t worry not blood) on the wall “Liv Die”. This event thrusts him back into the fray as Jasper’s daughter, Liv Aberdine (Lucy Griffiths), becomes the target of supernatural forces. Liv provides the audiences perspective on John Constantine in this episode as she grapples to understand who this seemingly strange man babbling weird references to the occult is and flees from John despite the demon tracking her. The persistent world weary John Constantine does not take no for an answer and he soon uses his trusted friend and companion, the very interesting Chas Chandler (Charles Halford), to protect Liv. We also get to see Constantine’s dubious angel “friend” Manny (Harold Perrineau) that nicely provides insight in to the possible season arc for the series as he warns John that all is not right in purgatory and danger is on its way. Manny also opens up Constantine’s past and the torment and guilt that drives him to do what he does.

It is not until the death scene and possession sequence of her neighbour and friend that Liv begins to trust Constantine. At the same time her own supernatural powers begin to develop as she can also tap in to the spirit world exposed to Constantine after he gives her a pendant from her father and this sets up a nice little confrontation with her granny from hell! As the identity of the demon chasing Liv, known as Furcifer, is revealed the demon’s ability to draw power from and control electrical power and objects leads to the shocking death of Chas as he trys to save Liv from the demon. They seek refuge at Constantine’s mill house and here we are treated to an absolute treasure trove of objects from the DC occult universe. The one that brought the largest cheer from the Empire stage at NYCC 2014 was Doctor Fate’s helmet of Nabu which looked amazing. As John warns Liv “…it is incredibly powerful and not to be trifled with.” It certainly is and show runner David S. Goyer during our roundtable interview with him at NYCC hinted that someone will come to John’s door collect the Helmet of Nabu. This is fantastic news and leads us to ponder could it be Kent or Inza Nelson, maybe Hector Hall or will it be someone else? We shall soon find out! Other Easter eggs littered throughout the mill house (as well as through the rest of the episode and this review) included the Ibistick (the magic totem of the Eqyptian God Ibis), the Mask of Medusa and many others including a sly nod to the magical DC character Zatanna and, more specifically, the way she casts spells by saying backwards phrases.

Clearly, there is a respect for the source material which is awesome for this series and for those excited to see John Constantine brought to life by the excellent actors, crew and creators behind the show. This respect for the graphic novels certainly extends beyond the Easter eggs in the episode (of which there many), but also in the establishment of the horror and occult themes that we are looking forward to and expect of Constantine. The tone and feel of the show is also great and the scares are well paced and genuinely scary. Given NBC also produces Hannibal and with horror director Neil Marshal behind camera for this episode, the show would appear to be in very good hands. This is also true of the special effects and CGI which look great in the episode, in particular, the rain drop scene between Constantine and Manny, and the flashbacks to Astra being taken to Hell.

As events build to the confrontation between Constantine and Furcifer, John forces his old mate, Ritchie Simpson (Jeremy Davies), a drug dependent, paranoid university professor to help catch Furcifer using Liv as bait. They are also aided and abetted by Chas who is very much alive and has returned because of his special, and as yet unknown, “survival skills”. Whilst John and Liv wait to catch Furcifer, in a demon seal, he exposes more of his personal turmoil and guilt as we discover that his mother died during his birth. His guilt leads him to admit his need to see her again. In the final showdown as Furcifer arrives, the demon attempts to barter Liv’s life for Astra but is thwarted by Jasper’s pendant that reveals a trap to Liv. An angry John signals Ritchie to shut down the city’s power grid that controls Furcifer’s life source, as his spell sends Furcifer violently back to hell. Constantine vows to come for Astra and Nergal, the demon responsible for her death.

Liv decides to leave returning the pendant amongst other items back to John to continue his work. He admits scaring her off on purpose, believing that exorcising is not for everybody. However, this part of the episode does feel the weakest. It’s a bit like the rug has been pulled from under your feet and it is simply because of the need to amend this section of the episode to allow for the change in leading character (for genuine reasons) from Liv to Zed for future episodes. It feels slightly at odds that for all the character and background set up of Liv and the energy expended to protect her life in the episode – she leaves! That being said these things can happen when moving from pilot to regular series and these kind of tweaks are certainly a once-off given that more than 10 episodes are now complete. Indeed, the changed ending sets up Zed (Angélica Celaya) really nicely as the episode closes with a woman furiously scribbling and drawing some (iconic) images of John Constantine; and each bears the same signature, Zed Martin.

Overall, whilst the ending suffers slightly down to the changes forced through re-casting, this doesn’t detract from an excellent series opener anchored by the excellent portrayal of John Constantine by Matt Ryan. He is both witty and acerbic, whilst also protective and endearing and I can’t wait to see more of Constantine on the small screen. Matt Ryan is joined by a solid and exceptional cast of actors that includes the faithful and not so faithful friends of John Constantine portrayed by Charles Halford and Jeremy Davies, respectfully, and Lucy Griffiths provides a good counter point to Constantine that brings the audience in to his world. The nascent story arc reminiscent of American Gothic from the graphic novels is dealt with lovingly and respectfully; in the same way that there is great fun to the Easter eggs teased throughout the episode. We can’t wait to see more of John Constantine battle demons, ghouls and evil.

Constantine, starring Matt Ryan, Angélica Celaya, Harol Perrineau and Charles Halford, airs on NBC in the USA and will return next Friday 7th November for episode three “The Devil’s Vinyl”. Constantine is also available in the UK through Amazon Prime Instant Video the day after broadcast in the USA. There is, unfortunately, still no confirmed broadcaster for Constantine in Ireland but we’ll keep you posted of any developments.

NYCC Interviews Constantine – with David S. Goyer – Gotham TV Podcast Exclusive

30 October, 2014 gothamtvpodcastgmail-com Comments Off

Exclusive: While at New York Comic Con this year Gotham TV Podcast were lucky enough to see the pilot of the other big DC show Constantine. The show premiered in the US on NBC on Friday the 24th of October and we sat down at a roundtable at New York Comic Con 2014 to discuss Constantine with Matt Ryan (John Constantine), Angélica Celaya (Zed) and show creator and executive producer David S. Goyer. The roundtable includes questions from other journalists present and our own questions to the cast and creator.

In our Constantine interview we caught up with show runner David S. Goyer who chatted with us about the refreshing change of pace writing Constantine, the fun of the punk influence on the character and the music for the show, his admiration for the Hellblazer comic series and he revealed that someone will turn up on John Constantine’s doorstep to pick up the Helmet of Nabu.

Question – You’ve done a lot of TV and you’ve done a lot of movies contrast the experience?

Someone once said that movies is more like oil painting and TV is like water colour. The turnover time in TV is a lot faster, movies you have a lot more time to perfect everything. With TV it’s sometimes that by the time you’re in to your third draft, its time to go. So on one hand that time constraint is harder but also sometimes its better not to over think things and go with your first instinct. But with television you also get to revisit characters and have characters grow and change over the course of the season and this has already happened in our first season. We’ve had a couple of actors come in and really blow us away and we’ve thought “Oh they’re really amazing” and so we’ve brought them back a couple of episodes later.

Question – So in looking at the original version of the pilot and then the pilot that we’ll see later. What do you think is the biggest change in terms of where the show is going now versus where the show might have been going when we saw the trailer back in May?

Well when we first started adapting Constantine I think there was some concern with the audience that we needed a character that was from the audience point of view that was not apart of this world. So we created a character that was not part of the comic books, named Liv, that embodied that point of view. We made the pilot and Lucy who played her did a great job, but as we started breaking the subsequent stories we thought it would be much more interesting and challenging if someone were more of that world and having seen the pilot we were able to convince NBC that maybe we should go in that direction. So we selected a character called Zed, who’s also from the comic books, and she has a really interesting back story, she’s not a blank slate, she’s got a lot of mysteries. She was able to go toe-to-toe more with John and it made for some more interesting dynamics. I think with John and Liv, you know, John was sort of the cut up and Liv was the straight man or straight woman and with Zed they flip flopped those roles and it’s just more interesting.

Question – You’ve worked on a lot of different comic book adaptations. When you approached doing Constantine compared to some of the more superhero properties was there a difference in how you approach the characters themselves or did they feel the same way?

Sure, I mean John doesn’t have any superpowers, he’s not a billionaire, he’s not an alien from another planet, he’s just a regular bloke. He doesn’t have a costume, he doesn’t have a secret identity. If someone arrests him and throws him in jail he is in trouble and that does happen in the first season. He can’t just swoop in and have someone expunge his record. It’s kind of interesting, after having written Batman and Superman, to write someone who doesn’t have access to those powers or that infinite amount of wealth to help him out. He’s also not a hero hero, I mean he’s a jerk, and it’s really refreshing to write a character that’s a jerk.

GTVP Question – We saw the helmet of Doctor Fate in the pilot screening. How far is Constantine going to delve in to the mythology that has been established within the comics?

Should we continue on long enough the plan is that we have access to the broader occult DC universe. So even in the first twelve episodes you’ll see two or three characters that show up that aren’t part of Hellblazer proper that are part of the larger DC universe; and the plan is that eventually someone will show up at John’s door to collect that helmet.

Question – You’re dealing with a supernatural version of the universe in a number of projects, so it’s a very different approach than taking a more straight forward superhero based in science fiction or the real world. How is it to envision things in that way?

It’s a really refreshing change of pace, its nice to be doing something that’s scary, it’s nice to be doing something that’s a bit more funny. I’m a huge fan of John’s roots he was created in the 80’s with a real punk sensibility and we’ve actually licensed a lot of punk songs in the show. I’m proud to say, I don’t know if this is a first or not, but we licensed a Sex Pistols song for episode three. So that is pretty fun having John Constantine listening to the Sex Pistols. I think he listens to Buzzcocks. [Interviewer] Gang of Four? Not yet but hopefully we’ll get there, maybe we’ll get some Cramps and Dead Kennedys.

Question – When there is such a rich pool of characters that you can pull from, how do you decide which ones you are going to bring in to the story and at when is a good time?

It’s story based. So we don’t say “OK we’re going to do a story about Doctor Occult” and I’m not saying we have done a story about Doctor Occult per se. We talk about where it would be good for the story to go or come up with an idea for a story; and then we think if there is an appropriate character in the DC universe that fits with that story and makes sort of sense in an organic way to bring that character in. That’s how Jim Corrigan entered in to the show as a a reoccurring character because we had a need for a homicide detective; and so we thought “You know let’s bring in Corrigan”.

Question – Hellblazer is such a long running series, there are so many storylines that you can choose, there are so many different runs. Do you have a favourite, a particular story line form Hellblazer?

You know I have a lot of favourite story lines and I will say even though the first season loosely tracks American Gothic we’ve already adapted within the first twelve episodes a couple of other singular issues. We’re trying to do a version of one of the Delano issues early on right now. We did a really cool version of the Hunger Demon issue that’s actually one of our better episodes, I think, so far.

Question – How soon do we learn more about Chaz?

Episodes nine or ten, we’ll turn over some cards relating to him.

Question – Do you have a hell of a comic book art collection? Who is you favourite artist?

I’ve got some choice pages. I mean old school [Jack] Kirby and contemporary I really like Steve Rude a lot.

NYCC Interviews Constantine – with Matt Ryan – Gotham TV Podcast Exclusive

27 October, 2014 gothamtvpodcastgmail-com Comments Off

Our first interview was with John Constantine himself Matt Ryan who chatted with us about the challenges of fan expectations, playing the part of a Scouser (John Constantine is from Liverpool) and what’s been his scariest moment. You can listen to the podcast with all of the interviews we did at New York Comic Con 2014 with the cast of Gotham and Constantine or read on for the interview

Question – Playing John Constantine is a big job but as a character what drew you to this part?

Matt Ryan – The fact that he’s tormented, he’s guilt ridden he’s got all this dark shit going on and he’s someone that would flip the bird to the devil and do it with a smile and a wink. To play those two things is awesome. It’s so three dimensional and multifaceted. I still feel like I’m peeling back the layers of him and getting under his skin. We’re recording episode 9 and 10 and it’s getting deeper and deeper as we go and what’s great about a part like this is that you can keep going lower and lower there’s not going to be any end to it.

GTVP Question – How do you prepare to be a “petty dabbler of the dark arts” and more importantly as a Welshman how do you prepare to play a Scouser (A person from Liverpool where John Constantine is from in the comics)?

Matt Ryan – Interesting question, first of all reading the comics going to the source material, gleaning as much of that as possible and then reading a bunch of the Grimoriums you know magic books, watching a bunch of movies like the Exorcist and trying not to freak myself out too much. In terms of John being from Liverpool and being a Scouser, early on I wanted to get in touch with the DNA of the character and go for the essence of him rather than playing a voice and an accent. I talked to one of my best friends who’s from Liverpool about the accent but I wanted to get the essence of him and to do an accent that was accessible but wasn’t me. It wasn’t completely me and Welsh but also wasn’t a hard Scouse but was a Northern [English] accent. Something that’s going to be accessible and has that working class quality to it. That came about from me wanting to find out who the character was and I wanted to go for that rather than playing an accent.

Question – What is your characters relationship with Zed (Angelica Celaya’s character)?

Matt Ryan – It’s feisty. It’s really cool she’s someone that doesn’t take any of his shit and really gets in his face. They get on each others nerves they have this interesting sexual chemistry between them. They need each other and want to push each other away it’s a really interesting dynamic I think that they start to grow together as well. Where we’re at now they’re at a really interesting place it’s a really interesting chemistry they’ve got and it’s really fun to play.

Question – What was the scariest moment in your own life?

Matt Ryan – Probably doing this. Reading comics before I go to bed and then being in my apartment on my own, in a strange place alone hearing knocks in this strange apartment building in the middle of the night after a day shoot and shitting myself. That’s probably while I’ve done this cause you’re thinking about it all the time. I’m trying to keep reading the comics even though we’re working twelve to fifteen hours a day so I can keep that line to the source material and into the DNA so that it’s always there in the background. You do that before you go to sleep and you think of demons and stuff.

Question – When you do comic adaptations fans will judge you on every little thing you do. Does that ever come into your mind when you’re doing the role because this is such an iconic character?

Matt Ryan – Yeah, well it’s a lot of pressure isn’t it? It’s the fans that are the reason I’m here the reason the comics are loved so much and you want to do it justice. But I think at the same time, to make it your own, I think you have to be ballsy enough to go “Well OK this is what I’m doing” and hope that they like it and hope that my interpretation of it and the fact that I really like the comics and I’m trying to keep a line to that all the time and I’m hoping that will come across. But you can’t really think about it too much because it can get in the way. You want people to love something that they’ve spent a lot of time in their life reading because it’s something that they love.

No UK or Irish broadcaster has been announced for the show just yet but we’ll bring you news as soon as we hear it.

San Diego Comic Con 2014…Six DC (and Gotham) events we can’t wait to catch

20 July, 2014 gothamtvpodcastgmail-com Comments Off

In preparation for San Diego Comic Con 2014 (SDCC 2014) Gotham seems to be making a mark in the city as it ramps up to the start next Wednesday (23rd July) when a preview night will kick-off four days (24th – 27th July) of all things comic related. Not only are the San Diego trolleys receiving a Gotham style makeover (Pictured Below), but there is also a Gotham-themed 130-foot zipline between the Convention Center and the Hilton Bayfront Hotel and Gotham City Police cars will cruise around town for Uber users and of course stake-out SDCC for the Penguin and Fish Mooney.

SDCC 2014 is the “big-one” of the comic conventions and it puts on a show (both inside and outside the convention center) for all those who are interested in comics from the big headline film and TV events through to guest appearances, comic artists and writers and there is of course the amazing cosplay and fun fringe events and socialising. We of course will bring you as much of the Gotham, Batman and DC news and stories as we can from SDCC 2014 next week, so for all the latest from SDCC 2014 watch this space and follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Google+. We will also be helping out our friends over at TheEffect.Net with all the other SDCC 2014 news and stories.

The schedule for SDCC 2014 has already been released and is packed with panels, talks, competitions, appearances, events and screenings. Amongst these are the TV, film and comic panels taking place over the four days that will include celebrating 25 years of the Simpson with co-creator Matt Groening, an exploration of Hannibal (the Menu will include David Slade – Executive Producer), the new Star Wars animation, Rebels, and a look at Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season two and the new mid-season series Marvel’s Agent Carter. With this in mind we thought we would share our six big TV, film and comic events related to Gotham Batman and other DC properties scheduled for SDCC 2014.

1. Warner Bros Television and DC Entertainment event (8pm) and Warner Bros. Pictures Panel (10 am) – Saturday 26th July (8pm)

From 8pm on Saturday 26 July Warner Bros. TV with DC Entertainment will host a three hour extravaganza in Hall H to be hosted by Stephen Amell of the hit TV show Arrow. This is the big TV event of SDCC 2014, one that has never been tried before, and is exclusively a superhero themed event for fans of DC and will include loads of exclusives for the upcoming TV shows from Warner Bros and DC. Not only will the event feature appearances from cast and crew from Arrow, it will also showcase footage of the new upcoming TV series’ Gotham, The Flash and Constantine. The world premiere screening of the Gotham TV series pilot, starring Ben McKenzie, Donal Logue, Jada Pinkett Smith and Robin Lord Taylor will be shown at the event. To ramp up the excitement for the event a new teaser trailer has been released focusing on the relationship between Jim Gordon (Ben Mckenzie) and Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue) you can watch it here: “One Crime Will Unite Two Partners”.

To wrap things off at the Warner Bros. DC Entertainment event the complete screening of The Flash pilot will be shown along with exclusive footage of episode one of the new Constantine TV series, starring Matt Ryan, and exclusive footage of Arrow season three. We think this is going to be a very special event and panel indeed for Gotham and is certainly set to raise the roof on all the small screen heroes from DC that will be on offer this Autumn.

If you have any questions for the Arrow and The Flash panels you can use #AskArrow and #AskTheFlash for a chance to have them answered at SDCC 2014. Simply tweet the Arrow and The Flash CW Twitter accounts with your questions for Stephen Amell and Grant Gustin.

If you’re looking forward to Constantine, then earlier in the day at 5.15pm there will be the full pilot screening and Q&A session that will include stars from the show Matt Ryan and Harold Perrineau as well as executive producers and creators of the show Daniel Cerone (Dexter) and David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight trilogy). For all you fans of Constantine then at 4pm on 26th July head over to the Constantine Dome in Gaslamp Square, come in your finest cosplay for a “Constantine Meet Up” and commemorate the day with a group photo with the man himself, Constantine (Matt Ryan). This sounds a sweet little event just before the screening and Q&A session.

The Warner Bros. Pictures panel is also scheduled for Saturday 26th July at 10am in Hall H and they are bringing three upcoming films to SDCC 2014, including Mad Max: Fury Road and Jupiter Ascending, and Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies. Whilst there is no indication of any sneak peaks of footage from the 2016 Batman v Superman film or that the cast will attend, it is likely that the Batmobile will make an appearance. DC is also planning to announce their future DC movie road map, with the tease that the Justice League cast will make an appearance.

2.Spotlight on Bill Finger, the Co-Creator of Batman – Thursday 24th July

The issue of who, when and why in the creation process of comics that meshes both writing, artwork as well as colouring and stenciling has provided some of the more controversial discussion topics around comics and graphic novels. None more so than the Batman’s uncredited co-creator – Bill Finger. Not only did Bill Finger breathe life into Batman, Robin, Gotham City, and one fantastic villain after another, he co-created bat-free icons such as Green Lantern. With 2014 being the 75th Anniversary of the Batman and the 100th anniversary since the birth of Bill Finger it is fitting that such a distinguished and high-level panel comes together at SDCC 2014 to discuss his huge influence and contribution to the DC universe. On the panel, moderated by Dr. Travis Langley (Batman and Psychology: A Dark and Stormy Knight), will be amongst others Bill Finger’s only living descendants Athena Finger (The Cape Creator: A Tribute to Bill Finger) and her son Benjamin, plus Bob Kane’s biographer Tom Andrae (Batman and Me), writer Mark Evanier (Bill Finger Awards) and Michael Uslan (Batman, The Dark Knight film trilogy). What is great to see is that the very special reprinting of Detective Comics #27 by DC also includes new material and the first-ever cover credit to the co-creator Bill Finger.

3. Batman ’66 Panel – Thursday 24th July

Biff! Bam! Pow! …This panel should be a great trip down memory lane for a good number of people, bask in its sense of kitsch and let in your excitable inner child. With moderator Ralph Garman in Hall H Warner Bros. reunites pop icons Adam West, Burt Ward, and Julie Newmar for a Bat-tastic look at Batman: The Complete TV Series. The actors behind Batman, Robin and Catwoman talk about their roles in the landmark series and provide an insight in to all the exclusive content within the forthcoming blockbuster home entertainment release of the much-loved TV series. The panel will also exhibit some of the holy dazzling HD remastered Batman footage of the series prior to its release in November 2014. Remember fans to bring your shades it’s gonna be bright and colourful.

4. iZombie Pilot Screening – Friday 25th July

From 11.30am on Friday we will get a glimpse of CW’s mid-season series iZombie as it debuts at SDCC 2014 (unfortunately iZombie will not be included in the Saturday WB/DC TV event). We can’t wait to get some more details of this show and hear the reaction to the pilot screening of iZombie. Olivia “Liv” Moore is a 25-year-old medical resident with high hopes of a long and successful life…until she’s turned into a zombie. Now not only is she stuck between half-alive and undead, but she is stuck in the morgue as the only way to satisfy her lust for brains. Liv’s new diet allows her to experience “visions”-flashes of the corpse’s memories-including, in some cases, clues as to how they were killed. The special video presentation will be followed by a Q&A with series stars Rose McIver (Once Upon a Time) and Malcolm Goodwin (Breakout Kings), as well as executive producers Rob Thomas and Diane Ruggiero-Wright (both of Veronica Mars).

5. DC Comics Batman- Friday 25th July

The DC comic Batman panel brings together some of the most creative writers, artists of the medium. With storylines that are deep, complex, sometime vicious and brutal but always compelling and with artwork that lifts from the page to feed your imagination the Bat-family of comics couldn’t be in better hands during Batman’s 75th anniversary. This panel will provide an exclusive look and insight at what is to come for the Batman and his allies from the amazing talent behind those comic pages that we’re enjoying so much. The panel includes Marc Andreyko (Batwoman), Brian Buccellato (Detective Comics), Greg Capullo (Batman), Pat Gleason (Batman and Robin), Greg Pak (Batman/Superman, Doctor Strange:Season One), Scott Snyder (Batman, Batman Eternal), Peter Tomasi (Batman and Robin) and others. Enjoy this panel it should be epic!

6. DC Collectibles – Thursday 24th July

For all those kleptomaniacs out there (such as ourselves) rejoice as DC Collectibles showcase the action figures, busts, statues and much more for all the fans of DC. The panel, which includes amongst others Kevin Kiniry (DVP for Creative Services), artist Greg Capullo (Batman) and sculptor Jon Matthews, will let you in to the creative process of making these figures and statues and they will give some insight about what is coming up from the DC Collectibles range. Get your wallets ready and prepare to spend as DC Collectibles offer loads of Comic-Con Exclusives to be sold at Diamond retailer booths during the convention.

We are looking forward to all the events next week at SDCC 2014 from the big to the small and whilst Warner Bros. Pictures DC cinematic events are limited this year at SDCC 2014, DC will be more than catered for by the Warner Bros TV event with a look at the exciting new Autumn DC releases on the small screen. But, in the best tradition of SDCC, we hope there will also be plenty of big surprises and unexpected guests to come at San Diego Comic Con 2014 next week. We hope you’ll join us.

New Constantine Trailer teases Doctor Fate

11 June, 2014 gothamtvpodcastgmail-com Comments Off

In Constantine TV news a second trailer has been released this week, check it out below. Whilst much of the footage is from the first official trailer there are a few additional little snippets to whet the appetite and increase the excitement for this series. We do learn that you should never go demon hunting on an empty stomach! But more notable is the glimpse and tease of the helmet of Nabu.

https://youtu.be/A8YAlnMVELw

The helmet of Nabu is a powerful mystical talisman (along with the amulet and mantle of Nabu) bequeathed to Kent Nelson, who later becomes the great DC comics sorcerer Doctor Fate. Alternatively, the helmet, along with the other talismans, could be entrusted to Hector Hall, Inza Cramer Nelson or Jared Stevens who have also gone on to become Doctor Fate throughout the character’s history.

This is also not the first time Doctor Fate has appeared on the small screen in a DC TV property. The great sorcerer also showed up as Kent Nelson/Doctor Fate (Brent Stait) as part of the Justice Society of America (JSA) in season nine of Smallville “Absolute Justice” (episode eleven).

The tease of the helmet of Nabu in this second trailer is exciting as it hints at the integration of other characters from the wider DC universe in to the Constantine series. This is a great development for the show as it may suggest some epic mysteries and story arcs. We hope that Doctor Fate will be a season regular to the Constantine series, but Doctor Fate may simply be in a guest star role to drive elements of the story. Or maybe the helmet is simply a plot point or passing reference and all we will see is the helmet of Nabu. In any case this new addition for the TV show has ramped up our interest in the possibilities of the upcoming Constantine series this Autumn.

The presence of Doctor Fate’s helmet in the trailer also got us wondering which other potential DC characters could make an appearance in the Constantine TV series and we came around to Doctor Occult as a possibility. Despite being an old character in the DC canon (his first appearance was in 1935 in New Fun Comics #6) he is part of the “Trenchcoat Brigade” and has worked alongside John Constantine before. We think that this would be a nice little nod to other mystical members of the DC universe in the same way that Doctor Fate would be. Let us know your thoughts on any DC characters you would like to see in the Constantine TV series.

fall-tv-shows-6-constantine-1095433-TwoByOne

Finally, given the developments with the Doctor Strange phase 3 movie project at Marvel, with the appointment of a Director Scott Derrickson; does this tease of Doctor Fate in the Constantine TV series represent a challenge to Marvel’s Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Strange? Or is Doctor Fate simply a good fit with the Constantine TV show and its mystical and occult themes? We would love to hear your thoughts.

Maybe the Constantine and Doctor Strange mash-up that I (John) wanted in Episode 7 of Gotham TV Podcast is no longer required? But I can always console myself with the awesome Ron Marz and Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez Doctor StrangeFate from the DC/Marvel cross-over Amalgam Comic series.
