"Sandman" Gets TV Deal

Warner Bros. TV, in conjunction with their buds over at D.C., will adapt the Gaiman series into its own TV series, with “Supernatural” creator Eric Kripke the frontrunner to run the show. Morpheus, aka Oneiros, The Shaper, and about a dozen other names. He’s also the lead character in Neil Gaiman’s seminal D.C. comic book series “The Sandman”, the series that helped launch D.C.’s Vertigo imprint.

Various people have tried to bring Gaiman’s vision to the big screen in the past, but all have failed spectacularly. Gaiman is not yet involved with this WB attempt.
