We probably won’t see a film or television adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman anytime soon, but at least Audible and DC’s new audiobook version has a good cast. So there’s that. Audible has announced the full lineup for its exclusive production of The Sandman, based on Gaiman’s best-selling graphic novel of the same name. The audiobook adaptation debuts on July 15, with Gaiman narrating a story led by James McAvoy as Dream and Kat Dennings as Death. The Sandman co-stars Taron Egerton, Riz Ahmed, Arthur Darvill, William Hope, Josie Lawrence, Miriam Margolyes, Samantha Morton, Bebe Neuwirth, and Andy Serkis, with Michael Sheen as Lucifer.
