Sandman Film: No Punching & Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Sandman Film: No Punching & Will Be Amazing
I am a huge fan of Neil Gaiman, from American gods to Stardust to Sandman, he is an incredible storyteller. When word reached my ear that there will be a Sandman film being produced and directed by Joesph Gordon-Levitt, I had to look into things.
Joesph Gordon-Levitt recently spoke with MTV News:
“It’s really good, man. It’s slow but steady,” he told MTV News’ Josh Horowitz. “It’s a really complicated adaptation because those comics, they’re brilliant. But they’re not written as a whole. It’s not like ‘Watchmen,’ which is a graphic novel that has a beginning, middle, and end. ‘Sandman’ was written over the course of whatever — I forget exactly, six or seven years. One at a time. One little 20-page issue at a time. And to try to take that and make it into something that’s a feature film — a movie that has a beginning, middle, and end — is complicated.”
Complicated though it might be, JoGo has a distinct vision for the story — which he’s working on in collaboration with David Goyer and Warner Bros., with the help and authorial authority of Neil Gaiman himself — and it’s a whole lot different than some of the other big comic adaptations that have been blasting through the box office over the last few years.
“Big spectacular action movies are generally about crime fighters fighting crime and blowing sh-t up. This has nothing to do with that,” he explained. “And it was actually one of the things that Neil Gaiman said to me, he said ‘Don’t have any punching.’ Because he never does. If you read the comics, Morpheus doesn’t punch anybody. That’s not what he does.
“It’s going to be like a grand spectacular action film, but that relies on none of those same old ordinary cliches,” Gordon-Levitt added. “So, that’s why it’s taking a lot time to write, but it’s going to be really good.”

The news that JGL will be involved brings me some measure of comfort, I’m always afraid that his work will get in the hands of a director who simply does not care about the series and it turns into some unspeakable horror the Avatar the Last Airbender or Eragon.
