News broke yesterday that Neil Gaiman’s beloved Sandman series is “in the early stages of being developed into a TV series.”
According to the Hollywood Reporter‘s scoop, Supernatural creator Eric Kripke leads the shortlist of directors being considered to helm the project. During the 1990s, Gaiman’s Sandman series blended fantasy and horror, rejuvenating the world of adult comic books.
