Joseph Gordon - Levitt To Produce A Film For Neil Gaiman's Sandman

The popular comic book character The Sandman will soon be getting the movie treatment.  The comic book by Neil Gaiman started in 1988 and finished in 1996 with a couple of original graphic novels a Death spin off and now is back in a mini series which is a prelude to the original series.

Joseph Gordon - Levitt has signed on to produce and possibly direct and star in the film.  He has joined David Goyer who was involved with the Batman and Superman movies that have come out lately.  It appears that they might be doing the first storyline as is hinted with this hashtag in the tweets announcement #Prelude.  Prelude is the first story in which Morpheus escapes imprisonment and goes after those involved and extracting his revenge.  If that is true fans should read Preludes and Nocturnes the first volume in the trade paperback collection.
Here is the tweets of the announcement.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm incredibly honored to be working with David Goyer, Warner Bros, and @neilhimself on SANDMAN. #Prelude

SDCC Neil Gaiman Returns To "The Sandman"

Neil Gaiman Sandman will be returning for a 6 issue series starting in 2013.  It will be the 25th anniversary of his charecter and he has one more story to tell.  Here is a quote from the man himself.

"When I finished writing The Sandman, there was one tale still untold: the story of what had happened to Morpheus to allow him to be so easily captured in The Sandman #1, and why he was returned from far away, exhausted beyond imagining, and dressed for war,"

"It was a story that we discussed telling for Sandman's 20th anniversary... but the time got away from us. And now, with Sandman's 25th anniversary year coming up, I'm delighted, and nervous, that that story is finally going to be told."

Here is a video that was played that marked the return of The Sandman.
