Given how important this is to Neil himself and how close it sounds like he's been working on the project, my thinking is that even it doesn't end up being as good as I want it to be, it'll be as good as it's ever going to be.

Bosco685 Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 Quote For decades, Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman has been considered a towering achievement in the world of graphic fiction – a fantastical epic so imaginative and broad in scope that the prospect of bringing it to the screen seemed near-impossible. Enter Netflix, which has taken on an adaptation of a comic book series like no other – a metaphysical, philosophical exploration of dreams, romance, life and death – with Gaiman on board as a developer to help shepherd it to the screen faithfully. And part of that faithfulness is conjuring a show that shape-shifts from instalment to instalment. In the upcoming Moon Knight issue of Empire, Gaiman opened up about the genre-hopping, tone-switching approach of The Sandman on screen. “You watch Episode 1 and think, ‘Oh, I get this thing: it’s like Downton Abbey, but with magic,’” he says. “Then you’ll be wondering, ‘What the hell is this?’ by Episode 2, when you’re meeting Gregory The Gargoyle in The Dreaming. Episode 5 is about as dark and traumatic as anything is ever gonna get, then you’ve got Episode 6, which is probably the most feel-good of all the episodes.” It’s a notion that looks set to differentiate The Sandman from all the other lavish fantasy adaptations out there. “If you didn’t like an episode of Game Of Thrones, you probably won’t like any other episode of Game Of Thrones,” reasons Gaiman. “With Sandman, it’s all about surprising you. It’s all about reinventing itself. It’s all about taking you on a journey you’ve not been on before.” As seen in the issue, here’s an exclusive image of Tom Sturridge in the central role of Dream (aka Morpheus), pictured alongside the librarian Lucienne, played by Vivienne Acheampong.

But I get that - they're two fundamentally different writing styles. Gaiman is firmly entrenched in fantasy, whereas Moore excels far more at straight superhero works.

Bosco685 Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 Quote As anticipation continues to build for the Netflix series, one fan took to Twitter to ask Neil Gaiman if The Sandman show will include Merv Pumpkinhead and details for the character's arrival. Gaiman confirmed that the animated scarecrow will indeed be in the show, though kept mum on details regarding his appearance, stating that a casting announcement is coming but being saved "for a slow news day."

Along with its ever-increasing monthly billing. With the advertisement-based service that will possibly addressing the billing concerns. The next up is staying committed to its shows. onlyweaknesskryptonite and Microchip 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone whose also a big Bone fan, they don't currently have much goodwill with me in regards to honoring their commitments to shows. Here's hoping Sandman gets better treatment.

Hopefully Amazon or Discovery/WB picks it up then. I am hoping they cover the entire run and then some with the adaptation over multiple seasons. I think it has a shot if the show develops a following. Look at Lucifer, as an example. Microchip and aardvark88 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
