Neil Gaiman Reveals How The Sandman Netflix Show Handles Graphic Content
In bringing his own work to life, Neil Gaiman has revealed how The Sandman Netflix show is handling its graphic content. Gaiman, also the creator of the graphic novels, has developed and is executive producing the upcoming series with The Dark Knight trilogy vet David S. Goyer and Wonder Woman's Allan Heinberg. Development on an adaptation of The Sandman has languished for over 20 years, including multiple film iterations and TV shows before landing at Netflix with Warner Bros. Television producing.
Tom Sturridge is leading the cast of The Sandman as Morpheus, the king of dreams and one of the seven Endless beings who is captured in an occult ritual and held prisoner for over a century before escaping and discovering his kingdom of Dreaming has fallen. Morpheus must turn to his past allies in order to recover his artifacts of power to restore his kingdom, some of whom include his kind sister Kirby Howell-Baptiste's Death, Mason Alexander Park's Desire and Gwendoline Christie's Lucifer Morningstar. The ensemble cast for The Sandman also includes Vivienne Acheampong, Boyd Holbrook, Charles Dance, Donna Preston, Jenna Coleman, David Thewlis, Patton Oswalt and Mark Hamill.
