WEISZ SUMMONS THE OCCULT WITH A SPOOKY KEANU REEVES

English actress Rachel Weisz is in talks to star opposite Keanu Reeves in "Constantine", a film based on the "Hellblazer" comic book. Ouija Boards are not thought to be involved in the talks.

"Hellblazer" is described as "Dirty Harry" set in the occult world. Reeves will play John Constantine, a man who dabbles in the occult and teams with a female police officer to fight evil forces.

Weisz would play Angela, an officer who becomes involved with Constantine when her twin sister dies in a mysterious suicide.

The Warner Bros. film marks the feature directing debut of Francis Lawrence.

This seems all part of the brainiac beauty Weisz's diabolical plan for Movieworld domination. She next stars in Fox's "Runaway Jury" and fpllows that with DreamWorks' comedy blockbuster "Envy".

The actress is also currently shooting the indie feature "Daisy Winters", and recently starred in "Confidence", "The Shape of Things" and "About a Boy".

And she does have a Reeves experience in her past. Her first "Hollywood" movie in 1996 was "Chain Reaction" starring Keanu Reeves. It bombed - but no blame to our Rachel as this was in Reeves' dog days when he fancied himself a proto-rock star.


"Hey I got 6 movies out this year. Why shouldn't I look smug?"
