Sandman Movie...Well?

Thats a great choice, id say he would nail the strangeness of the comics. Actor wise, Johhny depp keeps coming to mind, but i think thats because he looked so much like morpheus as edward scissorhands! My worst fear is that hollywood would turn this into another superhero blockbuster

Touche! ...but in fairness, Sandman is far less suited to the action blockbuster treatment than Watchmen..which incidently i dont think will be anyway! but we just have to wait and see dude.

yeah the emos did kinda claim the endless didnt they? well [frick] em! the sandman comics remain my favorite stories ever.

i think the movie should just focus on preludes and nocturnes..its quite cinematic anyway for all its weirdness. of course it means getting john constantine in there (blonde and english or keanu?) as well as mr miracle and jonn jonzz..somehow i think they might leave them out of it!

I'm not too familiar with Sandman, i'm sure it's a fine piece of literature but if they were to make the movie, bring on Tim Burton to direct and Depp to play it and let's not forget having Gaiman write the actuall script!

Winning recepy in my cook book!!!

here's my casting call for some of the endless.

For Destruction I'd have Dennis Storhoi or Vladimir Kulich, both starred in the 13th warrior.

For Delirium I'd have Hannah Murray (Skins' Cassie) although she'd have to act a bit better.

For Destiny, someone we can't see their face and who can act in a robe carriyng a book. Let's cast Mr. DeNiro.

For Dream, Jhony Depp could fit the part quite well, although I'd love to see a young newcomer tackle this.

Despair, is really hard. Could be Roseanne Arnold? (it's sort of a joke, but somehow it kinda works too). Or the fat lady in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, after googling it up IMDB says she's Kathy Lamkin. Maybe Kathy would be better.

Desire... that's really hard, don't know someone androgynus... Milla Jovovich?(her acting sucks) the artist formerly known as Prince?(his acting only works when it focus on him) don't really know who it could be.

Death, I love that character so much. This is the hardest for me, so I won't try to cast her (it'd just dissapoint me so much). Although Kiera... could work but I'm positive there has to be someone better out there. (If only Helena Bonham Carter was younger)

Now for director... unless you want this movie to be the EMO movie of all time, Tim Burton has to stay clear from this project, otherwise it will be impossible for nonemos to see it.

mmm Tori Amos, don't if she can act either but it's a really good choice, although the girl from skins is much much younger and has a less curvacious body, we could always cast Bjork for death (with major makeup), then she'd kick everyone's ass and this movie would never get done.

Cate Blanchett, could work or maybe Tilda Swinton (sort of like what she did in Constantine?). Despair, could be Danny Devito with breasts or Verne Troller with a fat costume? I still think that Kathy Lamkin has the looks (fat pasty white skin), they can do what they did with the hobbits to make her look smaller.

I still can't picture death, Kiera in my mind could work, but I insist there has to be someone better. And for dream, we are still stuck with a 40 year old Jhonny Depp or Daniel Day Lewis (how old is he?). Could always cast Shia Lebouf as dream, roflmao.

As for the guys in the 13th warrior, most of them have acted in more movies, but most of them in Sweeden, Netherlands, Finland or Norway. Maybe you can rent it (download it? no I didn't just write that I'm not telling you to use piracy as a means to get a movie you haven't seen) or search for them in Youtube. That movie has a very scandinavian feel to it, that can give all the Thor fans nice ideas on how Thor should be, and it's not that bad (hell it uses slo-mo in battles too) mind you not good either but watchable.

Eh, I don't know about it. I'd probably see it, although I've never read the comics.

I had no idea this was the way it was. I have now changed my views. Affiliate Dot Com
