I decided to make a new thread, since all the old threads are hundreds of years old. (or I couldn't find one I liked)
 
Can't really be the "full" cast since they haven't announced Death who will surely be in it quite a bit unless something's changed...

That's certainly one wat to ensure their version of Lucifer is different from the guy from Miranda.
 
I kind of feel like anime is the best way to do The Sandman right. I guess most of the stories are human-based and a lot can be done with green screen but somehow I don't buy it as live action. Although I've been wrong before.
 


Johanna Constantine is a really minor character in the books so a bit strange Jenna Coleman is playing her; I'm guessing she'll also fill John Constantine's present day part as well (since i doubt they'll have Matt Ryan in it.)
 
I've come across Sandman several times over the years and have seen how highly regarded it is by it's fans. I really wish they would consider this when they give the green light to these projects. If you are going to do a half-baked job or even three quarter baked job, the fan-base will crucify you. Why bother?

For the money. And because they haven't got the creative talent -- or the courage -- to launch a property wholly of their own creation. So they latch onto an existing property, with an existing fanbase, and inevitably shit it up until that fanbase is gone.

If this was the first time, we wouldn't see it coming. And when it does, we could forgive it as an act of colossal hubris. But this will be another instance in a long, long line of such instances; at this point, it looks very, very much like another salvo in a deliberate campaign of cultural vandalism.

I expect, not so very long from now, we'll get a "reimagining" of V For Vendetta where the lead role is played by a black, disabled, metasexual dachsund whose pronouns are "This/That".

The trailer has been very well received and original writer Neil Gaiman is heavily involved in the show, so not sure what you're talking about.
 
Looks like they're beefing up Constantine's part a bit because Jenna is the most well known actor in the cast...which is fine by me!
