Joesph Gordon-Levitt Working to Star and Produce Sandman Film

After watching Don Jon, I'm confidant in JGL as a visual stylist, hopefully he finds himself a good writing partner though I'm sure they'd have someone make a few unoffical passes at it. EDIT: Uggg Goyer is involved.....nevermind

Sandman though that is a tough nut to crack, likely next to Watchmen which while a faith adaptation is not a good film. Which is the key. To quote Max Scoivlle in a very eloquent episode of his old Study Hall show

"Recently we have lost sight of what adaptation is, espically with comic books coming to the big screen every two weeks. Adaptation implies a certain amount of compromise and transformation during a subjects transition between mediums."

no. don't make a sandman movie. don't do it.

lol

Ha ha ha ha ha ha........ Miley Cyrus as Delirium

right.....

Well, Kick-Ass got 2 movies before it, soooo... I am thinking it is better then Sandman.

The god of dreams, Morpheus of The Endless. It's the greatest thing to be ever published in the comic medium and is so good it transcends comicdom and became actual literature. No exaggerations.

It would be awesome if the movie looked like Dave Mckean's art work, as long as it didn't look as cheaply made as Mirror Mask was......... Still like that film.

Never really liked Sandman, couldn't get past the second trade.

He has the skill for it, and looks just like him too me atleast.

The Comic Vine page is really extensive on him and all of the endless but you should really read the books.

My only problem with it is that it seems like WB doesnt have other writers.

@judasnixon:

@dagmar_merrill: Cumberbatch is my pick for Morpheus as well.

Oh. When I heard about a Sandman movie I totally thought this would mean we getting an original Wesley Dodds Sandman movie. This sounds interesting though.

same

@jonny_anonymous:

Damm right.

@judasnixon:

So much yes!

I want Michael Fassbender as Corinthian.......

@allstarsuperman: You should read it.

Interesting? I really know nothing about sandman....

Those are much better picks.

I don't believe it until I see a trailer.

Come on, some things just shouldn't be made in to films, leave it alone.

ESPECIALLY GOYER :(

I heard that Neil actually want Morpheus to be played by Benedict Cumberbatch or Tom Hiddleston. I would like to see that happen but Tom's probably out of the question due to his connection with Marvel. Hmm...But there is nothing wrong with JGL. But I would like to see it on HBO.

Goyer? Really?

I mean, maybe it would work as a trilogy.

But I don't know how confident they'd be sitting up a trilogy without knowing how successful the first movie is. And despite its utter iconism to the comic book community, Sandman is hardly a big name general audience members.

So yeah.

Stop it! Just stop it! I've been hearing rumors of a Sandman movie since Claire Danes was in My So Called Life, and Nirvana was still a band. Next you going to tell me Preacher was just picked up by AMC......... Oh wait. What? AMC Picked up Preacher?

I agree. With a lot of Vertigo titles, they'd just work better as a television series or mini-series

Would be sweet if it ends up happening.

Though, I think an HBO 10-12 episodes mini series might work better. Hard to see them getting all it in a 2 hour movie.

Oh god, please no....

Sounds good, JGL seems like a good fit, although I kind of imagined Dream as a little more lanky than JGL is.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
