Netflix’s The Sandman Series Casts Tom Sturridge as Dream

New DVD release, , , , ,
From the Good Omens and American Gods TV series to the How to Talk to Girls at Parties film and at The Ocean at the End of the Lane play, it’s been a good couple of years to be a fan of Neil Gaiman adaptations. This is especially true if you’re a fan of The Sandman, the acclaimed comic book series written by Gaiman and published by DC Comics. Earlier this year, Audible released a multi-part audio drama directed by Dirk Maggs with Gaiman acting as the creative director, executive producer, and narrator on the project, and Netflix continues to move…

Sandman And Foundation Hope To Resume Production In October

Netflix, New DVD release, , , ,
The long-awaited adaptations of Isaac Asimov’s sci-fi classic Foundation and Neil Gaiman’s legendary comic book The Sandman are aiming to resume production this fall after being shut down earlier this year by the coronavirus pandemic. That news comes from David S. Goyer, who’s an executive producer on both projects and was asked about their status during an interview he gave on Saturday (July 25) as part of Comic-Con@Home. He revealed, “Ironically, both projects are hoping to start shooting again in October.” Goyer explained, “Foundation was a little further along. We’d filmed about 40 percent of the first season when we…

Netflix’s The Sandman TV Series will Have an Eye on Diversity

Netflix, New DVD release, , ,
The first major adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman graphic novels is with us already in the form of the Audible Original ‘audio movie’ (think ‘radio play’) starring James McAvoy as Dream and Kat Dennings as Death. But with any luck it won’t be long before a TV version will be making its way to Netflix. While shooting on the show was supposed to begin in May, and was shut down due to COVID, according to Neil Gaiman who is also producing along with David Goyer and showrunner Allan Heinberg, the project is starting to get up and running again.…

Neil Gaiman: How The Sandman Reinvents the Audiobook Format

New DVD release, , , ,
“For years, I’ve said that I would rather have no adaptation of Sandman than a bad adaptation,” says Neil Gaiman – and for years we’ve had no Sandman adaptation. But perhaps surprisingly, given the very visual nature of a graphic novel, the first one to make it past the finish line is an audiobook – more than an audiobook, a scripted audio drama, something akin to a radio play or perhaps an ‘audio movie’ of the first three volumes of Gaiman’s The Sandman graphic novel series. It might not be the adaptation audiences were clamoring for but it works surprisingly…

The Sandman Audible Original Review: the Dreaming Comes to Audiobook

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Screen adaptations of Neil Gaiman’s celebrated graphic novels have been teased since the 90s, with various talent attached but none as yet managing to materialize in physical form. While a TV series for Netflix is in pre-production with Wonder Woman writer Allan Heinberg showrunning and David Goyer and Gaiman exec producing, an audio book has arrived from Audible boasting super-high production values and a starry cast. More like a radio play than a straight up reading of the text, this adaptation works surprisingly well and stays very faithful to the books, adding in physical descriptions of characters where necessary. The…
