Good news for Neil Gaiman fans – Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been linked to a big screen adaptation of cult Vertigo (an imprint of DC) comic Sandman. But don’t get too excited quite yet. So far it’s just a rumour.
If the project goes ahead, Gordon-Levitt could be playing Dream (also known as Morpheus), master of stories and dreams. Gaiman’s series ran for 75 issues from 1989 and explored a dream-like world influenced by mythology.
Film writer, director and comic book fan David S. Goyer is rumoured to have pitched the project to Warner Bros., although it’s not yet clear whether he’d direct. Goyer is no stranger to big screen adaptations of comics; he worked as writer for a number of comic inspired films including Nolan’s BATMAN trilogy, MAN OF STEEL, GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE and THE CROW: CITY OF ANGELS. Gordon-Levitt also starred in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES.
So is Gordon-Levitt a good choice for Dream? He’s certainly got the physique (he’ll need to work on the hair though).
