David Goyer Thinks NBC Was The "Wrong Channel" For CONSTANTINE
David Goyer, at a recent press junket revealed that he thinks his show Constantine should have aired on a TV station other than NBC. While expressing his thoughts on that, he also praised the cast.
While many Comicbook fans around the world got a kick out of Constantine, NBC wasn't overly fond of the idea. Many can agree that the series had a bad time slot, and lacked promotion, and that (and more) eventually caused it to get canceled after thirteen episodes. At a press junket, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice writer shared his thoughts on it, and revealed that he doesn't think the show should have been on NBC to start with.
“I loved Constantine. In retrospect, I don’t think it should have been on NBC. I think it was the wrong channel and I’m sure they probably agree with that as well." I'm sure that's something we can agree on as well. While it is unclear with the CW or any other network didn't pick up the series, Goyer spoke more on the matter, and revealed how he thinks the show could have survived. "We almost doubled our numbers in DVR numbers, but they weren’t quite there in network television in counting those metrics.If it had been on a basic cable channel, it could still be on."
Even though Constantine was short-lived, Matt Ryan will get the chance to reprise his role on The CW’s Arrow come November 4th. Goyer also gave his thoughts on that, and thanked the Arrow showrunners for the opportunity. "I adore Matt and I think he is the definitive depiction of the character, and I think it is super cool that Greg (Berlanti) and Andrew (Kreisberg) brought him into that show." What do you think?
John Constantine, a demon hunter and dabbling master of the occult, must struggle with his past sins while protecting the innocent from the converging supernatural threats that constantly break through to our world due to the "Rising Darkness". Balancing his actions upon the line of good and evil, Constantine uses his skills and a supernatural scry map to journey across the nation to send these terrors back to their own world, all for the hope of redeeming his soul from eternal torment.
