Thanks to a scooper we've learned that singer/composer Lisa Gerrard is busy working on her next project, CONSTANTINE. If you've been off-planet for the last few months, the cinematic adaptation of the DC/Vertigo comic book began filming last month under the helm of music video director Francis Lawrence. Keanu Reeves is playing the chain-smoking, demon-hunting anti-hero with attitude.

"If the first track is anything to go by this going to be one of the darkest works Lisa ever did," reports the last entry on Lisa Gerrard's website dated nearly two months ago. The entry states that Gerrard has been working on "this VERY dark soundtrack" for a few weeks prior to the last update, so by now she must be well into the work of scoring the film.

Gerrard is the singer of Dead Can Dance and has worked on a number of movie soundtracks including GLADIATOR, ALI, THE INSIDER, WHALE RIDER and BARAKA.

"No matter what this film puts Lisa in front of a vast darkness and (heavenly) light filled canvas," her website goes on to state. "Keanu Reeves is well suited for the part, let's just hope that he reads HELLBLAZER and portrays John Constantine as the heavily smoking antihero he is. But probably the most important point with a character like John Constantine is to hope that nobody is actually expecting a PG-13 rating."
