While making the press rounds at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con for “American Gods,” Neil Gaiman was asked about the status of a movie version of his Sandman comic, which was previously in the works with Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

He explained during a chat with MTV that “…it’s weird… it’s not owned by me; it’s owned by DC Entertainment and Warner Brothers… I very much hope that one day a great Sandman movie will be made.  I would much rather no Sandman movie were made than a bad Sandman movie were made…  I do tend to feel that things come along and happen when the time is right.”

Here’s hoping that right time does come along eventually!

Per NeilGaiman.com:
Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman was launched in 1989. This extremely popular series was bound into ten collections. Following Dream of the Endless, also known as Morpheus, Onieros, and many other names, we explore a magical world filled with stories both horrific and beautiful.

What do you need to know to enjoy the series? Only that there are seven brothers and sisters who have been since the beginning of time, the Endless. They are Destiny, Death, Dream, Desire, Despair, Delirium, who was once Delight, and Destruction, who turned his back on his duties. Their names describe their function and the realms that they are in charge of. Several years ago, a coven of wizards attempted to end death by taking Death captive, but captured Dream instead. When he finally escapes, he must face the changes that have gone on in his realm and the changes in himself.

This week we were unbelievably excited to chat with writer and director Mark Anthony Green! We talk about his feature film debut Opus, working with musical icons The-Dream and Nile Rodgers, Ayo Edebiri's star power and the eccentricities (and graciousness) of John Malkovich. Mark Anthony shares a fantastic story of John on set and so much more before we dig a bit into his horror history and find out why Michael Jackson's Thriller music video scared him as a kid. A shorter episode this week, but easily one of our favorite conversations in a long while. Don't miss it. And go see Opus in theaters!Follow Mary Beth, Terry and the Podcast on Bluesky.

Ep. 344 Oddity Part 2: “The Tale of the Woodm’n”
Ket tells Kim Part 2 of Oddity. Kim refreshes our goldfish brains on how it all shook out in part 1. So, let’s all sit back down and have a charcuterie with our terrifying Man ‘o’ Wood. All the girls can ask is “does anyone have the hook up on where they could find their own Woodm’n? We have some ‘monsters’ to vanquish.” Most importantly, we’ll learn if Kim will live or die in Oddity. Writer/Dir.
