Guillermo Del Toro would be a great director for a Sandman project.
Cuaron, sez me.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

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.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
No Death?

Death is really hard to cast! Jennifer Lawrence could do a decent job, but she's EVERYWHERE these days, so I don't know.
Despair is the other tricky one. I'm drawing a complete blank for her.

Okay - in my fancast, Rinko Kikuchi [link] as Death. She can do the whimsical, the compassionate, and the "don't fuck with me" all at once.
Despair - if Rebel Wilson can actually do ennui, she could be great. She's got a great off-kilter delivery as it is.
