Yeah looking forward to this. I think it's gonna be good.

Sandman is amazing but no way would it work as a movie. The world is too rich and complex and even cutting it down to one Gaiman-written story would be grossly missing so much.

The other thing which came to mind was Transmetropolitan. But I think that, although not as problematic as Sandman would be, Transmet would still lose much too much in the change. You need all those little side stories for the thing as a whole to work, and they just couldn't get into a movie.
