Hellblazer is one of the most epic comics ever written, and has long been a staple of the Vertigo line for DC Comics alongside Sandman. The main character, John Constantine, was given a movie featuring the national treasure that is Keanu Reeves... and it rubed a lot of true Hellblazer fans the wrong way. Not me though, I actually liked the film. A lot. Sure, he wasn't British and was missing his signature blonde locks. But he smoked like a chimney, had the dope arm tats, and the effects were fantastic for both the angels and demons portrayed in the film. Reeves kicked ass, and this movie gets a bad rap in my humble opinion. I recently watched it again on a fluke and fell in love with the character all over again. I plan on going back and reading the comics all over again, but then my year was made when I heard NBC had a show coming this fall based on the series! Oh man, I am excited. The show is being showran by David Goyer, and the pilot is being directed by Neil Marshall. Matt Ryan is playing Constantine, and he certainly looks a lot more like Johnny C than Keanu did. And the 3 minute trailer that they have shared online looks magnificent. Bravo NBC. Lets hope it turns out as good as this preview looks! Check out the trailer after the jump...

The 'Constantine' TV Show Has A Trailer... And One Guaranteed Viewer In Me Because It Looks Pretty Perfect!

BBC's Newest Show, 'Atlantis' Combines Heroes Of Mythology Into One Hell Of An Action Packed Cocktail...
Three Greek legends walk into a bar... yup, that could be the tagline for BBC's newest TV show, Atlantis. There is a young, strapping hero named Jason (of the Argonauts fame) that seems to constantly be on the wrong side of authority. A nerdy philosopher type in Pythagoras, who is the antithesis of Jason physically but seems to be the brains of the operation. And finally we have an aging Hercules, played by Robert Baratheon himself (Mark Addy!) and still kicking ass despite losing his hair. What kind of hi jinks do these three unusual mix of friends plan to get into? We shall see this fall. Check out the first trailer after the jump that introduces you to the boys and gives a glimpse into what shall come this Autumn. It does feel a bit cheesy, but considering BBC's recent track record with genre television I for one will give it a chance...

American Horror Story: Coven - Now THIS Is Going To Get Weird!!!!
American Horror Story has been one of the creepiest shows on TV since it's inception two years ago. AHS: Asylum really turned up the insanity, and this years AHS: Coven is probably going to be even nuttier. Every season they lead into the madness with creepy ass teaser trailers, only 15 seconds long but disturbing to the point that it stays with you for a lot longer than 15 seconds. The first teaser for AHS: Coven is called 'Detention' and is pretty fucked up to say the least. Check it out after the jump and stayed tuned for many more trailers soon to follow here on CCD...

The Legend of Korra - Season Two
The Legend of Korra is an American animated television series that premiered on the Nickelodeon television network in 2012. It was created by Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dant DiMartino as a sequel to their series Avatar: The Last Airbender, which aired on Nickelodeon from 2005 to 2008. Several people involved with creating Avatar, including designer Joaqui Dos Santos and composers Jeremy Zuckerman and Benjamin Wynn, returned to work on The Legend of Korra.
The series is set in a fictional universe where some people can manipulate, or "bend", the elements of water, earth, fire, or air. Only one person, the "Avatar", can bend all four elements, and the Avatar is responsible for maintaining balance in the world. The series follows Avatar Korra as she travels to the metropolis of Republic City to learn airbending and face an anti-bender revolutionary group called the "Equalists."

Eastbound & Down & Boardwalk Empire Are Close To Returning...
I am a huge fan of many HBO shows, most notably Game of Thrones which just finished up a stellar third season. With True Blood & The Newsroom on the horizon for the summer, we here at CCD are looking a bit further down the road to see what is coming next. Boardwalk Empire & Eastbound & Down are two of my faves, and they will be buoying the fall lineup this year. The Kenny powers teaser is short and sweet, but it does get me ready for some more nuttiness from my favorite Merman. The Boardwalk Empire trailer is short as well, but we get a ton of footage and the first look at Jeffery Wright as Dr. Narcisse. I for one can't wait! Eastbound & Down is back on September 29th and Boardwalk Empire is back on September 8th. Check out the trailers after the jump....

The Trailer For Deadpool: The Game' Kicks Ass & Takes Names....
I had heard some rumblings about a proposed Deadpool game that was due to come out at some point this year and I immediately got excited. My reasons were two fold. On one hand, games like Marvel Ultimate Alliance & the Batman Arkham games showed just how fantastic comic book games could be. When it comes to Ultimate alliance, Wade Wilson was also one of the characters we loved to play with the most. The second reason has to do with the character itself. Is there anyone more suited for a batshit crazy action game beside Wade Wilson? He is perfectly set up as the crazy ass, action loving protagonist in a hectic shoot 'em up adventure, and the breaking of the third wall is just fantastic. This trailer gives us just a sneak peak at what we can expect from the Merc with a Mouth, and I for one certainly can't wait. The game comes out sometime this summer (no official release date yet), so stay tuned for more info. But if this 2 minute clip is just a scratch on the surface of what we should expect, well I for one will be right there waiting for it to blow my mind. Trailer after the jump...

Death is Coming
Wow. Just wow. It is March, so that means it is almost time for the newest season of Game of Thrones. Ass we enter Season 3 we are promised one major plot point, and that is 'Death is Coming'. As someone who has read the books, this is an aptly pronounced theme for season 3 since every group of characters in the show experience major loss in this round of events. I'm not going to get into spoilers, but lets juts say nobody in the Westeros universe is really above death knocking on their door. HBO had released a teaser trailer about a month ago featuring the three eyed crow and the song The Rains of Castamere, but now we get a proper trailer with 1 minute worth of a sneak peek into the live footage. I'm in. Just a few more weeks ladies and gents... and then the dragons will fly!!!! BTW, Tyrion's scar looks properly awesome.Enjoy the trailer after the jump....

Bates Motel: Once You Check In... Well, You Might Get Murdered By A Serial Killer In Training!!!!
A & E is not really a network you think about when it comes to original dramas. They have tons of successful reality shows (Duck Dynasty is the shit!) and have had some pretty good shows in the past (The Glades comes to mind), yet they have not been known to be the hotbed of activity for current dramatic programming. But when they read the spec scripts for Bates Motel, the new television prequel show from Carlton 'Lost' Cuse & Kerry 'Friday Night Lights' Ehrin that highlights the lives of Norman & Norma Bates before the events of Hitchcock's Psycho, they skipped right over the pilot phase and ordered a ten episode first season. They also got a killer cast, with Freddie Highmore & Vera Farmiga (two boanfide movie stars) starring as Norman & Norma, the craziest mother & son combo of all time. I am intrigued, and to be honest with you I love these types of hard boiled dramas that seem to be coming to TV more and more (Banshee comes to mind as another new one like this). It is also interesting that A & E wants to get in on the current Horror show trend. After the jump you can see the promo posters for the show and the first trailer. The show begins on March 18th, 2013. Check it out...
