"Smoke of Satan" Notes: Cut scenes
Jul. 29th, 2005 10:20 pmJust been watching the "how they did that" documentary clips on the second disk of the extended edition of "Constantine": I was right about the emblem of St. Benedict being present -- Check out any close shots of the demon hunter's lighter...
( What, y' think I'm gonna let any spoilers slip through? )
Of course, this has me wondering if I should include two chimeraic scenes I had planned to write for "The Smoke of Satan...", but which I never wrote out, for whatever reason. One featured some of the hoity-toityer members of Sankt Maria's Parish almost ganging up on Constantine when they find out he's prowling around their nice clean little church, and he of course tells it like it is: their nice little church is sitting on top of a hellmouth. It's very Francois Mauriac or Flannery O'Connor-esque sort of scene, where the respectable folk wind up acting -- half unwittingly -- as demonic as some real demons (I sometimes wonder what Mauriac or O'Connor would think of either incarnation of John Constantine). The other featured Natalie sort of venting to Constantine about how upset and annoyed and scared she is with all the stuff that's happening to her parish; he listens to her in "Yeah, yeah, I hear yah, I hear yah [Internal: Stop whining...]" sort of way. I'd like to restore these scenes, but I think I'll probably just release them as "Deleted Scenes", attached to the end of the fic, in a seperate chapter of their own.
