It's been quite a while since we've had any news on this one, but THR reports that Eric Heisserer (the A Nightmare on Elm Street and The Thing remakes) has been tapped to pen New Line's big screen adaptation of Neil Gaiman's Sandman.
We've heard persistent rumors that Joseph Gordon-Levitt would direct and star in the movie, and that seems to have been confirmed also - it's assumed he'll be taking the title role of Morpheus, but that has yet to be verified. David Goyer wrote the treatment with Levitt and will also produce.
Apparently New Line hopes to make a Sandman trilogy, which should please fans who thought they might attempt to squeeze the guts of this massive story into one movie.
