L’adattamento del fumetto The Sandman di Neil Gaiman era uno di quei progetti mai chiusi a Hollywood.
Ci è riuscita Netflix, che ha annunciato il casting della serie è quasi completato e le riprese cominceranno presto per un debutto nel 2022.
A rich blend of modern myth and dark fantasy in which contemporary fiction, historical drama and legend are seamlessly interwoven, The Sandman follows the people and places affected by Morpheus, the Dream King, as he mends the cosmic — and human — mistakes he’s made during his vast existence.
Lo stesso Gaiman sarà tra i produttori assieme a Allan Heinberg e David S. Goyer della DC.
Questi i personaggi:
TOM STURRIDGE is DREAM, Lord of the Dreaming
GWENDOLINE CHRISTIE is LUCIFER, Ruler of Hell
VIVIENNE ACHEAMPONG is LUCIENNE, chief librarian and trusted guardian of Dream’s realm
BOYD HOLBROOK is THE CORINTHIAN, an escaped nightmare who wishes to taste all that the world has in store
CHARLES DANCE is RODERICK BURGESS, Charlatan, blackmailer, and magician
ASIM CHAUDHRY is ABEL, and SANJEEV BHASKAR is CAIN, the first victim and the first predator, residents, and loyal subjects of the Dream Realm.
