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.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I read a script that Neil Gaiman did, and I thought that would have made a pretty good movie.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Guillermo Del Toro would be a great director for a Sandman project.
Cuaron, sez me.

Hey. New board.
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.

This needs to be in my eyeballs NOW.
Would Idris Elba as Destruction be too on the nose, as well? Rory Kinnear, perhaps.

Because books.
I'll take Idris Elba on my nose. Or my elbow, or anywhere he'd like to be, quite honestly.

Who cares more Idris Elba yes yes yes!
I just realized James Earl Jones should be Destiny.
