Constantine: City
of Demons is rated R for

A decade after a tragic mistake, family
man Chas and occult detective John Constantine set out to
cure Chas’s daughter Trish from a mysterious supernatural coma. With the help
of the mysterious Nightmare Nurse, the influential Queen of Angels,
and brutal Aztec God Mictlantecuhtli, the pair just might have a chance at
outsmarting the demon Beroul to save Trish’s soul. In a world of
shadows and dark magic, not everything is what it seems, and there’s always a
price to pay. The path to redemption is never easy, and if Constantine is to
succeed, he must navigate through the dark urban underbelly of Los
Angeles, outwit the most cunning spawns of hell, and come face to face with arch-nemesis Nergal –
all while battling his own inner demons!
Constantine: City
of Demons
has been produced in a dual format – initially as animated shorts, the first
five of which appeared on CW Seed. With a runtime of 90 minutes, the
feature-length Constantine: City
of Demons
film has over an
hour of never-before-seen content including the film’s thrilling
climax.
Doug Murphy (Scooby-Doo and the Gourmet Ghost) directs the film from a script by
J.M. DeMatteis (Batman: Bad Blood).
Art Direction is courtesy of Phil Bourassa (Young
Justice). Butch Lukic (Justice League
Action, Batman Unlimited) is the film’s producer. Sam Register and Sarah
Schechter also serve as executive producers.
Matt Ryan, who set the standard for the role of Constantine
on the NBC live-action television series, returns to the famed trenchcoat in
animated form – after reprising the role in both live-action (Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow) series and
an animated film (Justice League Dark).
The cast surrounding Ryan
includes Damian O’Hare (Hell on Wheels)
as Chas Chandler, Laura Bailey (Critical
Role) as Trish & Asa The Healer, Emily O’Brien (The Young and the Restless) as Rene Chandler, Kevin Michael
Richardson (Family Guy) as Mahonin,
Jim Meskimen (Parks and Recreation)
as Beroul, Robin Atkin Downes (The Strain)
as Nergal, Rachel Kimsey (Justice League
Action) as Angela, and Rick Wasserman (Batman:
The Killing Joke) as Mictlantecuhtli.
“Fans have responded to John Constantine with an
unbridled thirst for his stories – first in the live-action series Constantine, and again with Justice League Dark. Constantine: City of Demons offers
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment another opportunity to satisfy the fans’ desire for
this character in a fascinating tale that provides even greater insight into
his backstory and the situations that helped create his approach to the
supernatural,”
said Mary Ellen Thomas, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Vice President,
Family & Animation Marketing.
“We’re especially thrilled to be able to release this full-length
feature film focused on
fan-favorite Constantine and full of special extras.”
