Like Locke & Key, Sandman was originally seen by the studios as a potential feature film, in fact it has been “in development” as a feature since the 1990s. Recently there has been talk about a Sandman series on HBO, but now Warner Bros. TV appears to be intent on keeping the property at home. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the powers at WB TV have been talking to producer Eric Kripke, creator of the CW’s Supernatural with the hope that he will decide to shepherd The Sandman to the small screen.
Of course Gaiman’s The Sandman is more of a dark fantasy saga than a straight horror title, but do you think those network dudes know the difference? Well you can be sure that they do know that Gaiman’s Sandman graphic novel collections are perennial bestsellers and have developed a large and devoted following.
