Francis Lawrence's 2005 horror-action superhero thriller Constantine celebrates its 20th anniversary next year, and to celebrate the film will be available for purchase Digitally in 4K Ultra HD and on 4K UHD Blu-ray Disc on February 18.
Starring Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf, Tilda Swinton, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and Djimon Hounsou, Constantine was based on the DC Comics/Vertigo “Hellblazer” graphic novels from Kevin Brodbin and Frank Cappello, and follows:
John Constantine (Reeves), a man who has literally been to hell and back. When he teams up with skeptical policewoman Angela Dodson (Weisz) to solve the mysterious suicide of her twin sister, their investigation takes them through the world of demons and angels that exists just beneath the landscape of contemporary Los Angeles. Caught in a catastrophic series of otherworldly events, the two become inextricably involved and seek to find their own peace at whatever cost.
The restoration, overseen by Lawrence, was completed at Warner Bros. Discovery’s Motion Picture Imaging (MPI) and was sourced from the original camera negative.
