'War Stories'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I saw that Sandman news yesterday, and was...kind of perplexed.
I looked up the writer on IMDB, and am very perplexed.
I kinda figured it was destined for Tim Burton
Speaking as a Tim Burton fangirl: DEAR G-D, NO. Do not let him near Sandman. I love Tim Burton, but he's SO not a good fit for that material.
Guillermo Del Toro would be a great director for a Sandman project.

He would be perfect.

Oh, how much I want this now.
But he has to make the Haunted Mansion movie first. Because my movie needs take priority, obviously, and I'm wary about the notion of Sandman movie, anyway.

Yes, this. And which storyline? Even if it's just drawn from Preludes & Nocturnes - that book is so complex, you could make a full movie about, say, the Dee storyline alone. (Though, hey, if they use that, Cillian Murphy could make a cameo.) Director-wise, I think Jamin Winans [link] would be a good choice.

Yes, exactly. I would much rather see HBO or someone turn it into a TV series than trying to make it fit into a feature film.
I read a script that Neil Gaiman did, and I thought that would have made a pretty good movie.

Cuaron, sez me.
I think the key is making a small movie in the universe that isn't necessarily any story from the comic. Which is basically the key to making ANY good comic book movie.
I would see del Toro or Cuaron do it.
We're fantasy casting over on my brother's FB wall.
So far my favorite picks are SWINTON for Desire (of course), Luna Lovegood as Delerium (I think I stole that from Hec?), and Tom Mison as Dream.
Chris Hemsworth was suggested for Destruction, but that's a bit on the nose. Likewise Patrick Stewart as Destiny.
Also I want Karl Urban as Hob Gadling.
