Yes, that Sandman movie with Joseph Gordon-Levitt is still happening
When last we checked in, it seemed as though the long-rumored adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman into a film was finally happening. Joseph Gordon-Levitt had signed on as a producer, with the intent to direct and star in it, under the aegis of Warner Bros. and the direct involvement of both David S. Goyer and Gaiman himself. However, that was a year ago, and that earliest stage of development is often a stage many movies never progress beyond, as evidenced by Sandman’s own numerous prior attempts to get made. Given all that, the fact that Sandman wasn’t mentioned in Warner Bros.’ lengthy slate of upcoming films was enough to give anyone pause.
