For a constantine sequel minus Keanu Reeves, I would like to see a guy like Thomas Jane take the part. I think he would be awesome in the role of the Detective character from Steve Niles novel line Criminal Macabre.

I really liked the first half of the movie. It really gave the viewer of feel for the desolation that Smith's character would have felt or any person for that matter. That part was great. I think the infected were kinds stupid though. they should have stuck more closely to the source material. smith did a good job but I had a guy like Thomas Jane pegged for the part of Neville. I just don't like the way the infected were done, reminds me a little to much of zombie flicks. The source material had vampires, not neccessarily dracula types but people who now feed on blood and do have fangs due to a mutation. One of the best parts of the book was when the main vampire got close to neville and neville pulled out his crucifix and the vampire laughed at him and said it had no power over him cause he was jewish in life. It wasn't that crucifixes, garlic and holy water actually had any real power in the book it was just that the people who were now these vampiric beings believed in that superstition from there previous existence which leads me to believe that the whole story was a great metaphor for our fears of eachother in real life due to culture, color and religous belief. I think the bad guys in the book were still people, but they needed blood to survive and because they had fangs they automatically were afraid of the sun and all things associated with vampire defense. Sort of like a global mass hysteria.

Hey glad you liked the brief excerpt on Unbitten.
It's a movie script, and hopefully one day it will actually be a movie. I still need to work on it in spots, I just put it up to see if anyone's interest would be raised by it.
If it's not a movie, a friend and I will write it up as a book...but right now it's back burner.
It's all just a waiting game, as much as I hate to say it.

I really liked your treatment. I would be all over this if you and your peers were able to turn this into a novel. Good stuff for sure, I love vampire lore and mythology, but it is so hard to find good movies and books to be sure. I just finished The Historian and really liked that a lot and have also read the first three twilight novels all in about a months time. Hope this works out for you, i'll be watching and rooting. Your fan Jason!

So far I have read the first two book and am on the third and they are excellently written books. I saw a piece in my Time magazine and saw vampires and I have always loved vampire books, movies etc so I thought I would give it a whirl and I love the books. I have the final and fourth book preordered. This could be a total peice of garbage if not done right, but if handled with respect to the fans and author it will be a terrific new anthology of movies to look forward. I am thirty and did not realise that the books are aimed at a teen audience until I read more reviews but I love the series.
