Following the recent news that the adaptation of Neil Gaiman's Sandman had just hired a new writer, JGL takes to Facebook to announce his departure from the project.

He states that due to Warner Brothers shifting "...the entire catalogue of Vertigo comics (an imprint of DC) to their subsidiary, New Line" and himself realising that "...the folks at New Line and I just don't see eye to eye on what makes Sandman special, and what a film adaptation could/should be...I decided to remove myself from the project. I wish nothing but the best for the team moving forward."

So there you have it, another instance of creative differences from studio heads leading to collaborative artists (in this case JGL, who was expected to direct and star in the film) leaving the project.

So how do you feel about this news? Is this a total disaster?

Leave your thoughts in the comments below and check out Gordon-Levitt's Facebook for the full statement.

Hey, this is my first every article so sorry it's a bit crap. I was very surprised no one had reported it yet and wanted to be the first one. I don't really understand how to use the 'Categories' thing, I tried a whole bunch of actually relevant things I thought it could be filed under but none worked so I put it under comics.

Thanks for the support guys, as to whether this article will be replaced by an editor.. probably. But the fact that I broke news on this site and it's been up for a good 15 minutes or so is pretty cool.
