Will Dream have niples on his cloak?

Don't worry. If not, we'll at least get lots of slow panning shots of his crotch:rolleyes:

Schumacher will just tighten Dream's leather pants and cast Paris Hilton as Death. Expect an over-the-top performance by Johnny Knoxville as the Corinthian.

casting, that'll be interesting
Who would you want to see play
Dream
Death
Desire
Delusion
The Corinthian
Cain
Abel
I'd say
Vincent Cassel as Dream
Helena Bonham Carter as Death
John Cameron Mitchell as Desire
Samanthe Morton as Delusion
Christopher Eccleston as the Corinthian
Robert Englund as Cain
Leland Orser as Abel

it's the story of Morpheus, the embodiment of Dream, and his family (Death, Desire, Destiny, Delusion, Destruction). It is an ongoing mythical tale thaqt is as amorphus as a dream itself. Black humor, ancient history, contemporary societal issues and kooks throughout the ages all exist as part of "the dreaming"
It must be read to be appreciated.

Read the comics really do. I think I still have 2 more to read but I loved each one. Rodericks description was very good but I dont think it can really be explained. Seriously read Sandman.

There needs to be more crotch shots in movies, there's just not enough. I'd totally go see Sandman the movie. Great comic!

Getting ahold of Sandman stuff really doesn't take a comic store, anyway. You'll find the GNs at any Borders.

That's true, Borders does have a small comic section. Border is great for buying Troma movies too! Seattle has a crap load of comic shops. I think that too many nerds live here, self included.:D

Read and own all the collections encompising the whole series (and a few of the sequel/prequel books too) and while I love Sandman a movie just makes me want to hurl. Especially with "him" at the head of it. No thanks. How about we just leave a comic as a comic for once. Sandman is just too epic for the screen.

Although I am curious.
