The TV adaptation of Constantine is looming, with a new TV trailer out giving us some idea of what to expect from Matt Ryan’s portrayal of the cult comic book character, which was published by DC. Constantine was last seen on-screen as depicted by Keanu Reeves in a mediocre 2005 theatrical release, which shared only a loose connection to the source material. by Robbie Jones TV shows based on comic books are the thing of today. For years, we’ve had all the Batman cartoons, Spider-Man cartoons, Justice League etc. but in recent years we’ve been hit by show like Arrow and Marvels’ Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Both shows have garnered big followings, but whilst these two have followed on from others (Smallville and The Avengers film series, respectively), Fox’s latest show is taking us back in time. To a time before Batman, in Gotham. by Cookie 'n' Screen It is back. Thank the lords, praise the gods and kiss your family. Throw your hands up into the air and scream “hell, expletive, yeah!” Because THE best show to come from Netflix and possible one of the greatest new television series of the last year is one its way back to us. Orange Is The New Black is Orange Is The New Back! Yes, this all may seem like the ramblings of a crazy person, but who cares? You should all be rambling like a crazy woman because Pipers Prison Problems are on their way back into our lives. by Helen Langdon NBC’s new adaptation of Rosemary’s Baby promises to be both horrifying and thrilling, including far more of the details from Ira Levin’s original 1967 novel than Roman Polanski’s 1968 film. As opposed to Polanski’s enforced two-hour runtime, this miniseries is set to air over four hours in two episodes. Coming from the success of Hannibal and Bates Motel, a lot of movies seem to be getting the television treatment…..a lot of movies. So when FX (the television channel behind Sons of Anarchy and American Horror Story) announced that the Coen Brother’s classic cult film Fargo is heading to the little screen, many clasped their hands in delight and some in horror. After all, the darkly comic tones of Coen are hard to replicate. While this may centre in the universe of Fargo, it features little of the original characters and in celebration of its pending air date (15th of April,) FX have released seven minutes of the first episode and several tantalising trailers.
