The Sandman
It has been a while since Joseph Gordon - Levitt stepped behind the tv camera to direct . Back in 2013 , theInceptionactor managed to secure no low amount of vital acclaim for his passion projectDon Jon – a picture show he wrote , guide , and star in alongside Scarlett Johansson .
It was also around this time that Gordon - Levitt was ab initio attached to an adjustment of Neil Gaiman ’s wildly successfulSandmanseries . Published via the DC imprint Vertigo from 1989 - 1996,Sandmanhas been in maturation hell for over 25 age now and has gone through its contribution of rewrites – some of which were good manners ofBatman V Superman : Dawn of Justicescreenwriter David S. Goyer , alongside Gordon - Levitt and Jack Thorne ( How I Live Now , A Long Way Down ) .
New Line hopes to make a trilogy of theSandmanseries , which is base on the dark revulsion tale of Morpheus , who rein his kingdom as the prosopopoeia of dreams . After being kidnapped by an occult rite and imprisoned for 70 geezerhood , Morpheus escapes and engage warfare against his captors as he attempts to rebuild his kingdom . The primary problem that has keep back the film from encounter the light of twenty-four hours is its extended and disparate occasional formatting , which creates problems in terms of create one uninterrupted tale .
As Gordon - Levitt summed it up last summertime :
" It ’s not likeWatchmen , which is a graphic novel that has a kickoff , middle and final stage . To try and take [ the entireSandmanseries ] and make it into something that ’s a feature film — a movie that has a beginning , middle and ending — is complicated . "
It ’s great to see things are moving in a positive direction forSandman , but it ’s worth noting that merely because a new author has been hired does n’t necessarily mean the motion-picture show is any closer to becoming a reality . After all , several highly gifted screenwriters have already worked on this script – including Goyer and Jack Thorne – all of whom have discovered what a tough nut it is to crack .
Still , the more than two decades of body of work that has film blank space on an adjustment have undoubtedly been filled with valuable lesson . These , couple on with series creator Neil Gaiman ’s belief that he ’d rather see noSandmanmovie than a bad one , ca n’t help but speak directlyto the obvious passion Gordon - Levittand Goyer palpate for this labor – no matter how long it hire to get it correct .
