Part 4/9:
Reeves’ role in Constantine plunged him into a darker narrative, where he portrayed an exorcist embroiled in an ongoing war between angels and demons on Earth. The film wasn’t initially well-received, but over time, it became a cult classic. Reeves took his role seriously, even consulting with real-life exorcists to depict the character authentically. One particularly harrowing scene involved Reeves submerging co-star Rachel Weisz underwater to illustrate her visions of hell, a moment that not only showcased Reeves’ dedication but also caused considerable anxiety among the production team for her safety.
