JGL says "it's complicated"
"It's really good, man", says JGL assuring the public Sandman is going in the right direction. And adds: "It's slow but steady", which is kind of obvious (well, the "slow" part, that is). And here's why.
"It's a really complicated adaptation because those comics, they're brilliant. But they're not written as a whole. It's not like "˜Watchmen,' which is a graphic novel that has a beginning, middle, and end".
On the contrary: ""˜Sandman' was written over the course of whatever "” I forget exactly, six or seven years. One at a time. One little 20-page issue at a time. And to try to take that and make it into something that's a feature film "” a movie that has a beginning, middle, and end "” is complicated".
But that's not all.
The movie will have a different tone than the typical comic book movie. See what difference JGL points out in an interview courtesy of MTV.
