Warning: Spoilers

Warner Bros. and director Francis Lawrence showed 25 minutes of Constantine (the Keanu Reeves starring adaptation of DC Vertigo's Hellblazer comic) to a select audience.

Here's an excerpt from a review posted on Superhero Hype: "The movie takes its cue from the comic book story 'Dangerous Habits', written by Hellblazer fan favorite Garth Ennis, introduced with a scene of Keanu coughing up blood and then visiting a doctor who breaks the bad news that he has cancer. A few minutes later we see Constantine trying to exorcise a 'soldier demon' from a little girl, driving home the look and feel of 'The Exorcist' evoked by the earlier scene in the desert. This is the first time we see this ugly CGI demon that will appear in other segments, as well as seeing how Constantine uses everyday objects to fight these demons."
