- Lawrence wants a hard-R-rated film made on a lean budget.

## Summary

Francis Lawrence says recent leadership changes at DC Studios have renewed his hope that a sequel to 2005’s Constantine could move forward. He says people previously running DC had blocked the project, though he stresses he does not welcome anyone losing their job.

Lawrence says a script and idea are ready, and that he, Keanu Reeves, producer Akiva Goldsman and J.J. Abrams want to make the film. He expects it to be a hard-R-rated sequel, and says the team would consider a lower budget and reduced fees to make it financially responsible; no sequel has been approved.
