Sandman Movie On The Way?

The news has broken across the internet that an adaptation of Neil Gaiman's 'Sandman' series is set to hit the screen in the near future.

Apparently Joseph-Gordon Levitt is in talks to star in and direct the film. Gordon-Levitt recently starred in and directed his own film Don Jon. The Sandman comics focuses around Dream/Morpheus, the Lord of Dreams who escapes captivity in the hopes of rebuilding his crumbling kingdom.

The film has been pitched to Warner Bros who have brought us things like the Batman movies that Gordon-Levitt also starred in. This is a project that I'll be watching and really keeping an expectant eye on.
