'Sandman' Movie News: Joseph Gordon-Levitt Thinks Property Works Better As A Film Than Series

Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt has just recently been vocal on the details of his 'Sandman' film adaptation.

With the actor attached to portray the main role, he lets his excitement for the project really come out in this recent Reddit AMA discussion. In this he gives fans another update on how the film is coming along.

Here's what Gordon-Levitt had to say:

"I think a big screen adaptation is a better idea and here's why. If you did the episodic version, I think it could very well end up as a not-as-good-version of what is already brilliant in the comics. But by reworking the material into a big movie, Gaiman's brilliant characters and ideas get to take shape in a way they never have before."

"Also, I think Sandman deserves to look absolutely mind-blowingly awesome, just on a visual level, and as cinematic as some TV shows are becoming these days, they still can't compete with big movies visually, just because they can't afford to.

"There's tons of little brilliant moments throughout the series, and we certainly can't incorporate all of them. We are using a whole bunch of specifics straight from the comics, but of course, we're also having to do a certain amount of invention, and in between that, there's tons of re-appropriating, re-contextualizing, combining, consolidating, and all manner of things that literalists might not like. But what we try to be completely faithful about is the overall sentiment: that dreams and stories and magic are actually all the same thing, and that they're real, and that they're powerful."

Gordon-Levitt is also attached to writing the script along with David S. Goyer and Jack Thorne. 'Sandman' hasn't yet been given a release date.
