SPOILER ALERT!

It looks the plot details for the pilot episode of the Constantine TV series has been leaked thanks to an internet website and is Papa Midnite a villain in the TV series?  We'll get to the bottom of these things and learn something juicy for a change.

NBC's Constantine TV series tells the story of John Constantine (played by Matt Ryan), a paranormal investigator and con-artist who fights supernatural denizens and protects the world from them. We already saw Matt Ryan in full Constantine gear and some bts photos, but that's not the issue here. An internet website claimed they knew details of the pilot episode of the show.

The website who leaked the information was ShockTilYouDrop.com and we looked at the script closely it combines elements of both the Hellblazer comics, and the 2005 Constantine film starring Keanu Reeves.

Here are the details according to the site:

1) The pilot takes place in and around New York City (which I don't think has been known about until now).


2) When we first find John, we learn he has voluntarily checked himself into a psychiatric clinic. He's haunted by an incident in which he lost a 9-year-old girl to a demon who has dragged her soul to hell. This incident has a significant impact on his life and it's hat is driving him. He checks himself out of the hospital after six months to find something sinister is afoot in the realm of the supernatural.


3) John's a clever wise-ass. His business card reads "Exorcist, Demonologist and Master of the Dark Arts," but as he tells his doctor, he should replace "master" with "petty dabbler" because he hates to put on airs. He also doesn't like to talk much about his past; he masks his emotions with wry humor.


4) We won't see John in his classic trenchcoat right away, but he gets there.


5) An angel - Manny - has been assigned to John to help ease his soul into damnation. John hates angels.


6) Liv Parsons, a young woman who works at a rental car facility, gets caught up in John's world when she discovers something is after her. Liv's deceased father, Jasper, knew John and John owes a debt to him.


7) Papa Midnite - an imposing Cuban man who can dream the future - is ailing when we first find him. He's doing a lot of cocaine because he has to stay awake.


8) Expect to meet "Chaz," John's driver who is a tall, sensitive, quiet type yet is quite knowledgeable about the supernatural himself.


9) The pilot is brimming with possessions, ghosts (Liv discovers a way to see the dead) and demons and the story does an adept job at not losing its audience in the mythology. Liv is our conduit to John's world of rituals, pendants, black magic and more and it handles the exposition well.


10) The foundation is set for a long-lasting partnership between Liv and John. Now that she's aware of the world beyond ours, she wants to use her knowledge to help others. But is John willing to assist her?

Well talk about a buzz killer of a spoiler. The pilot was written by David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight) and Daniel Cerone (the Mentalist) and the series is directed by Neil Marshall (Game of Thrones).

Aside from the spoilers, a new character will join the cast of the series as Pap Midnite will play the villain the show. Papa Midnite is a New York mob boss and skilled voodoo practitioner cursed with immortality, who by turns finds himself fighting against and reluctantly allied with John Constantine. He has his own brand of magic and skill that can rival Constantine's cunning and trickery.

How does Papa Midnite play in John Constantine's life in the series? Guess we'll have to find out more details of the show very soon.
