The first trailer for NBC's TV series "Constantine" has been released. The show is an adaptation of DC Comics' "Hellblazer" series, which previously inspired the 2005 movie starring Keanu Reeves as supernatural detective John Constantine. This adaptation stars Welsh actor Matt Ryan in the lead role, and everything seems to indicate that the series will stick closer to the comic book roots than the movie did. Neil Marshall ("The Descent") directed the pilot, and the show is produced by Daniel Cerone ("The Mentalist") and David S. Goyer ("The Dark Knight"). Harold Perrineau, Lucy Griffiths, Charles Halford and Julia Lehman also star.
"Constantine" premieres on NBC this fall.

Official Synopsis
"Based on the wildly popular DC Comics series “Hellblazer,” seasoned demon hunter and master of the occult John Constantine (Matt Ryan, “Criminal Minds”) specializes in giving hell… hell. Armed with a ferocious knowledge of the dark arts and his wickedly naughty wit, he fights the good fight — or at least he did. With his soul already damned to hell, he’s decided to leave his do-gooder life behind, but when demons target Liv (Lucy Griffiths, “True Blood”), the daughter of one of Constantine’s oldest friends, he’s reluctantly thrust back into the fray – and he’ll do whatever it takes to save her. Before long, it’s revealed that Liv’s “second sight” — an ability to see the worlds behind our world and predict supernatural occurrences — is a threat to a mysterious new evil that’s rising in the shadows. Now it’s not just Liv who needs protection; the angels are starting to get worried too. So, together, Constantine and Liv must use her power and his skills to travel the country, find the demons that threaten our world and send them back where they belong. After that, who knows… maybe there’s hope for him and his soul after all."
