Via Warren Ellis's Bad Signal mailing list, he's let us know that Tilda Swinton will be playing the archangel Gabriel, and Rachel Weisz will play Constantine's partner, in the upcoming Hellblazer abomi^Wmovie. These actually sound like saving graces.
Ellis also says that Keanu is an underrated actor. I think he's just messing with us.

Even in the Matrix movies, say, you can tell there's flashes where he thinks, "Whoa! I'm not Neo, i'm Keanu!", whereas Carrie Anne Moss is Trinity, always.
Ian McKellen acts with his eyes. Keanu? I guess he has eyes....
