The Sandman [Netflix]

RobbingBandit

Lucifer in the comics always was a very gender fluid character it'll be interesting to see how the role plays out on screen.

I really want to see the cereal convention done right that is a hauntingly disturbing chapter the characters are right out of nightmares. Charles Dance is a perfect fit for the character he is about to play really looking forward to this show the story is one of my favourites.

They/Them, He/Him, She/Her join the cast

Jenna Coleman, Joely Richardson, David Thewlis, Patton Oswalt. & Stephen Fry join the cast.

Are the pronouns for the actors or the characters?

The actress cast as Death may as well delete her Twitter now, and save herself the hate she's going to get from hardcore fans, upset Death won't look like goth Winona Ryder.

my favourite issue was the one where Morpheus meets a meet a man that he let live every 100 years on the same site to see how he is getting on

I love the Emperor Augustus and the dwarf begging in the forum

No idea but the idea of Desire being they/them is weirdly inspired.

Sneak peek

Principal photography has finished on season 1, according to Neil Gaiman.. from his tumblr account.

Gaiman does remind viewers that we have to be patient while the VFX, music, and other post-production work is still being done. He does let us know that he's somewhat in the dark like us, and does not have any release dates nor does he know when a trailer will be dropped.

I cannot help feeling a bit underwhelmed by the cast when comparing it to the cast of the Audible Audio Drama: James McAvoy, Brian Cox, John Lithgow, Joanna Lumley, Miriam Margolyes, Bill Nighy, Michael Sheen, David Tennant, Sian Philips and many more.

Plus that the production of it is so well executed that it will be hard for the TV series to be its equal in quality.

This is the cast for Act II that will adapt Volume Four: Season of Mists, and Volume Five: A Game of You, as well as the “Distant Mirrors” quartet and “Convergence” trio from Volume Six: Fables & Reflections. It is released in September. Act I was released last year.

I'm still hoping we will get a tease/Easter egg for this in the final episodes of Lucifer

Netflix has got so bad with these Big Adaptations, that even if this reviews well I may wait til it's confirmed not-cancelled. I'm interested but no point wasting time on another Mayfly show with the service.

The Sandman has to be one of Netflix’s most highly anticipated live-action adaptation series. Many people have been waiting for word on the debut of the Netflix adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s best-selling classic DC comic book series since it was announced in 2019. The premiere date for The Sandman has been teased, with the company announcing that it would be revealed during their Geeked Week event.

The fantasy series will premiere in 2022 and will consist of 11 episodes in the first season. Netflix has revealed what fans can expect from the upcoming event, which will take place from June 6 to June 10, via the Netflix Geeked Twitter account. Netflix disclosed in a Tweet that fans may expect an official announcement during the event, in the form of a meme related to one of their recent movies, on when The Sandman will be released. The image in question featured Winona Ryder’s Joyce Byers from Stranger Things Season 4’s first volume, who peered in disbelief at a note containing The Sandman news.

What with Netflix's financial woes this just feels like the kind of niche show that won't get renewed.

I'd say every show that isn't a guaranteed smash hit, or lowest common denominator, is looking over its shoulder right now.

Worry is Netflix are such chaos ATM I'd not have faith this thing lasts. Their hits have tended to be dark horses than expensive "this is your new obsession" attempts.

Slydice

It has a feel to it like it's trying to leave bbc / sky home made tv shows behind and be done not-crap... I dunno if they've managed it.

Sure looks like they've tried.

A small feature popped up, to explain more of the world and background, for those not familiar with the work.
