Writer of Sandman movie adaptation drops out. Says material won't work as a movie, has to be TV.

"I had many conversations with Neil [Gaiman] on this, and I did a lot of work on the feature and came to the conclusion that the best version of this property exists as an HBO series or limited series, not as a feature film, not even as a trilogy. The structure of the feature film really doesn’t mesh with this. So I went back and said here’s the work that I’ve done. This isn’t where it should be. It needs to go to TV. So I talked myself out of a job!"

It's nice to hear that and I hope the people developing Y: The Last Man are listening because that needs to be a TV show. - Krusty Nov 4, 15:55
