Jack Thorne will write Warner Bros.' Sandman movie, which involves Joseph Gordon-Levitt and David S. Goyer.
Jack Thorne (BBC's The Fades) will write The Sandman movie. Sandman, which currently has Joseph Gordon-Levitt attached as producer (and possibly director and star), with a treatment from David S. Goyer, has been in various stages of development at Warner Bros. for years, but it's looking increasingly likely that we'll finally see it happen. Sandmancreator, Neil Gaiman, is executive producing.
The film will almost certainly be based on the first volume of Sandman, "Preludes and Nocturnes" which tells the story of how Morpheus is captured, escapes, and has to find his way back to his realm, known as "The Dreaming." Hopefully this version of the project fails better than previous attempts, none of which made it far beyond a draft or two of a screenplay! We'll let you know what we hear...
