Constantine? hunh!

Did anyone know about this? I didn't! I hope it's decent--the trailer looks pretty good.

I always thought Columbo, too, til I read that. Wiki and Superwiki cite Eclipse Magazine as the source. I think I did read the original at some point but I can't find the source now. From what I recall, Kripke's original pitch to the network was about a supernatural detective based on the Constantine character, but it didn't fly so he pitched the brothers story instead. Then he wanted to acutally have Constantine as a guest character in the show, but he couldn't get permission from the copyright owners, so he created the character of Castiel instead because, dagnabbit, he was gonna get him in there somewhere! :)
