Author Neil Gaiman Reveals Some SCARY New Details For The Upcoming SANDMAN Adaptation For NETFLIX

What lies ahead for Neil Gaiman’s SANDMAN at Netflix?

Everyone has been waiting patiently for any and all news regarding the much talked about Sandman adaptation that is taking place over at Netflix.

Author Neil Gaiman has recently revealed a slew of new details regarding the project and we have them at the ready for you fine fiends as usual.

One good thing Gaiman promises is that the tone of the show will remain in the “scary” vein and we even have it on good authority that the infamous “24 Hours” Issue will get an adaption. (Trust us, you’ll wanna look that up.)

“I suspect that nothing that we do in that episode when it’s shot will be as disturbing as listening to it on Audible," said Gaiman, referencing the superb audio adaptation. "Because when you’re listening to it, you can't look away from a screen. So you are utterly complicit in every death, every moment of pain, and every awful thing that happens in that episode.”

As far as the shows casting goes, it seems that everything is locked down but Gaiman doesn't give anything away in that regard, but does tease the "astonishing" actress they've chosen to play Dream's far more personable big sister, Death.

“I feel incredibly lucky and privileged that we got her. The key to me with Death is that, more than any of the other characters in Sandman, they have to be filled with love and sensibleness. That sensibleness and love is manifest in this actress. I don’t think anybody is going to have any complaints.”

The 11-episode first season of The Sandman is expected to adapt the first arc of the Vertigo comics series, "Preludes and Nocturnes," which finds Morpheus captured by a black magician and held prisoner for the better part of a century. When he finally escapes, he sets about recovering three very important items, encountering Lucifer, John Constantine, Doctor Destiny, Martian Manhunter and more on his travels.

Gaiman is developing the show along with David S. Goyer and Allan Heinberg. No premiere date has been set.
