This is an interesting meme

And brings back memories too.

Swoon, now here's an idea I just can't ignore

And will be having dreams about for ages.

9) Sandman the Movie - by ajs
You commented at MIT (BTW: wonderful reading of a great short-story) that you didn't want to see Sandman the Movie made at this point because of the horrible treatment it had been given (I think the last draft script you had read contained, "Puny humans, your bullets cannot harm me!")

With the change in attitude toward comics in Hollywood, have you considered pressing the issue again? Also, have you considered talking to Hollywood's most successful comic book geek (Jess Whedon) about his getting behind the project? I would be stunned if he wasn't interested, though I'm sure the Firefly movie is sucking down a good chunk of his time....

Neil:
I love reading at MIT.

The good news on Sandman is that it's currently been taken out of the hands of the producers who've led it down the Road to Nowhere for the last 8 years. Currently Paul Levitz at DC Comics and I are trying to figure out what to do with it.

In a perfect world, a director who has the same kind of passion for the material that Peter Jackson had for LOTR, or Sam Raimi had for Spider-Man will come along and sweep everyone up in his wake.

I suspect that Joss Whedon's probably got his plate filled with his own projects.

Previously I had thought my absolute all time favorite writing pairing would be J. Michael Straczynski and Joss Whedon, but that's just been pipped.
