Vad handlar the sandman om
Vad handlar Sandman om? The Sandman berättar historien om Morpheus, även känd som Dream of the Endless, som är en otroligt gammal varelse och förkroppsligandet av drömmar i fysisk form.
Han upprätthåller REM-tillståndet för varelser över hela världen i sitt hemrike, The Dreaming. Neil Gaiman's iconic comic book series The Sandman is coming to life on the small screen thanks to Netflix. Creators Allan Heinberg and David S. Goyer , who worked closely with Gaiman to adapt his work, spoke to Newsweek about what fans and newcomers to the franchise can expect from the show. Netflix also shared details for the hotly-anticipated TV adaptation on Monday June 6 at the first day of its Geeked Week event.
Here is everything you need to know about The Sandman and what is to come. The Sandman comics follows its titular character as he is kidnapped by Roderick Burgess Charles Dance , a man seeking to capture Death Kirby Howell-Baptiste in order to bring his late son back to life only to get Dream Tom Sturridge instead, and it explores what happens to Dream in the aftermath of this experience. Meanwhile, Heinberg told Newsweek he hoped viewers who aren't familiar with The Sandman comics won't feel put off by the fantasy elements in the show, because it's about so much more than that.
Ultimately, I think it's really affirming and hopeful. Tom Sturridge leads the cast as Dream of the Endless, also known as Morpheus. The Endless are a family of deities who are anthropomorphic embodiments of natural forces, like Dream. For Heinberg it was clear "from his first reading" that Sturridge was the perfect person to portray the character: "He's classically trained, he understands the text, he understands the character's psychology.

You never see his eyes in the comic book, it's rare that Neil gives you a thought bubble where Dream is telling you why he's doing the things that he's doing, so charting his psychology in the book is very challenging. He added: "Tom has this nobility about his bearing so that he's very much a king from the minute he steps on stage, but at the same time there's a very wounded child on the inside which is just as much Dream of the Endless.
He is absolutely extraordinary. Heinberg said of the characters: "Desire plays a huge role in the back half of Season 1, and there are some major fireworks between Dream and Desire in our season finale which I'm really looking forward to sharing with everybody because the scenes are really extraordinary. Mason has always had, from their very first audition, such a firm grasp on who Desire is. And it's such a rich and layered and loving performance, and utterly captivating.
I'm excited for them in it. We don't get to spend a lot of time with her this season, but she makes quite an impression, and it makes me just look forward to the possibility of seeing so much more of her in Season 2. But she's brilliant at it, and the two of them together have really great chemistry. Of Howell-Baptiste, he went on: "Kirby Howell-Baptiste is a revelation as Death, she absolutely understands the sort of pure love that is at the heart of that character and just radiates it, just common sense and pure love, and her chemistry with Tom Sturridge is fantastic and familial.
And the minute we met Kirby we felt all those things about her, and she brings all of that to the screen in her first second of screen time. The character both Goyer and Heinberg are most excited for fans to see brought to life on the small screen is David Thewlis' John Dee. When asked to pick a favorite moment from the show, Goyer shared: "There is a particular issue from the first Sandman arc — fans of the comic will know it.
Issue 6. The issue is sort of infamous. Basically, the issue where Neil let us readers know that anything was possible in his book. The story was absolutely terrifying.

It involves a character named John Dee walking into a diner. The episode is spectacular. We didn't pull back on the horror. Heinberg concurred, adding: "There's so many [great moments] it's cheating to choose more than one, but David Thewlis as John Dee is extraordinary. That was the biggest surprise for me in adapting the show.
