Warner Brothers Television is looking to adapt Neil Gaiman’s ‘Sandman’ series for Television according to an exclusive report from The Hollywood Reporter’s HeatVision blog. Warner is in the process of acquiring the rights from DC Entertainment and is looking to “Supernatural” creator Eric Kripke to helm the project. Gaiman’s “The Sandman” has been seen previous attempts to jump from the page to live action, including a possible movie adaption. DC had previously been in talks with HBO to adapt the series to TV. HeatVision also reports that Gaiman isn’t involved in the project at this early stage, but that could be subject to change.
“The Sandman” is described as the “New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman’s transcendent series SANDMAN is often hailed as the definitive Vertigo title and one of the finest achievements in graphic storytelling. Gaiman created an unforgettable tale of the forces that exist beyond life and death by weaving ancient mythology, folklore and fairy tales with his own distinct narrative vision.”
Between this and Death’s entrance into the main DC Universe, it’s finally time for me to jump into Gaiman’s award winning Vertigo series. What do you think of this? Sound off in our comments below!
