The Sandman

Moving away from the mainstream DC stories, The Sandman comes from the Vertigo imprints. It’s the story of Morpheus, who is one of the Endless, and Dream itself. Imagine the possibilities, just knowing this little bit about the character.

But there is more to know – created by Neil Gaiman, the story of Morpheus is a perfect blend of mythology, history, and horror. So from the start we know that it shouldn’t be dumbed down for bigger box-office success.

As a matter of fact, Neil Gaiman himself said that he’d rather see no Sandman movie at all than to see a bad one.

Luckily, Warner Bros announced back in 2013 that David S. Goyer will produce the movie, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt set to star (and, as the actor teased, also direct). And this is more than an awesome idea.

Unfortunately, we haven’t heard a peep out of any of the powers that be. And it has already been about a year since JGL talked about the project. Does it mean it’s dead? Well, not necessarily, since the actor also said that they’re taking their time in order to find the perfect formula for the adaptation. Will it be R-rated? We can only hope so.
