Rumors Of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman Coming To TV
Heat Vision has reported that Warner Bros. is looking for someone to possibly helm a Sandman television series. Neil Gaiman’s beloved title, which brought a whole other demographic of readers to comic books, also inspired the launch of DC‘s Vertigo offshoot. 75 issues of the surreal series have been released since 1989, concentrating on the character Dream (Morpheus) and his six siblings the Endless (beings older and more powerful than gods). Eric Kripke (creator of ‘The CW‘s ‘Supernatural‘) is rumored to be at the top of the studio’s list. OK. You will have a heck of a lot of angry fans if you dumb down and glam up something of this magnitude, guys. Tread very, verrrrrry carefully. Gaiman has also written Neverwhere, Mirrormask, Stardust, and most recently in mainstream comics, Whatever happened to the Caped Crusader? (which directly followed Batman: RIP).—ExSleepyInk
Dont forget he did “1602″ and “Eternals” for Marvel. I normally wouldnt promote anything Marvel, but they were great series.
Ive actually met Neil Gaiman when he came and have a talk here in Charlotte. He is a super nice and down to earth guy.
Sandman is the series that got me serious about comics and made me realize what an art they can be. If this somehow manages to happen, like you said, they better not mess it up. People will go ballistic.
