Last month we reported the actor
Joseph Gordon-Levitt was in talks to both star and direct the adaptation of Neil
Gaiman’s cult comic book Sandman. Now in an interview to IGN the actor who made
his directorial debut last year with Don Jon, talked about what drew him to the
comic:
"Well, I love just the basic
concept of it - just the concept of personifying Dream, along with all of his
brothers and sisters, the seven Endless personifying Death, personifying
Destruction and Delirium and Destiny and Desire and Despair. I mean, that's
just a fascinating and, I think, a really cinematic concept. You look at the
art of Sandman, and it just looks spectacular. I love big, spectacular movies,
but oftentimes big, spectacular movies sort of get stuck in a rut. They go down
certain paths that end in big explosions or whatever. Sandman has so much
opportunity to do something that's on a grand, grand scale, but really unlike
your average big, grand-scale, spectacular movie. I guess that's the tip of the iceberg."
The actor recently tweeted “prelude”,
which many fans assumed he was referring to the first issue of the series:
"I honestly just wrote that
as sort of a pun, because this tweet was a prelude to who knows what's to come.
Obviously "Prelude" is the title of the first issue, but... Yeah,
nothing is cemented yet. But there's so much potential in that material. It's exciting."
