Joseph Gordon Levitt Update on Sandman Movie

The (arguably) least talked-about upcoming DC Comics film -- Neil Gaiman's Sandman -- was announced last year,and director Joseph Gordon-Levitt has finally given us an update on the ambitious adaptation. Speaking with Moviefone, Gordon-Levitt says "we're working towards it." Having starred in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, the actor/director says that experience has helped him learn how to helm a comic book movie, specifically because of the film's use of green screen. Gordon-Levitt confirmed that the script is currently being written, saying, "It's me and [David] Goyer and [Jack Thorne] and [creator] Neil Gaiman, as well as the good folks at DC and Warner Bros." He goes on to call Sandman a "complicated" property to bring to screen, attributing the past unsuccessful attempts at an adaptation to its dense and "episodic" 75 issues. Gordon-Levitt also calls Sandman's universe "such a huge world," hinting that the project will try to stay true to the source material. The Don Jon director -- who previously starred in The Dark Knight Rises -- says much of the film's team from Warner Bros. and DC are the same people who worked on Christopher Nolan's Batman films. While he's unsure if the project will come into fruition, Gordon-Levitt assures, "I think we've got the right ideas."
