Mathew Vaughn told MTV in March that he would like to direct Neil Gaiman's
Sandman in an HBO style series. He believed there was too much material to fit in to an hour and a half movie. He also stated that he had discussed the topic with Gaiman himself after they collaborated on Gaiman's
Stardust.
MTV talked with Gaiman last month at the C2E2 convention in Chicago and asked him about Vaughn and about his thoughts on the HBO style format for
Sandman.
"I haven't talked to Matthew for years now, because Matthew's been making 'Kick-Ass. I haven't really seen Matthew since he vanished off into the realm of 'Kick-Ass,' which was a few years ago."
"I think there are lots of ways to do 'Sandman'. The most logical would be as an HBO-style series, and there are lots of directors who would like to do that, and there are lots of people who've suggested it." Hawksblueyes: I would love to see this come to pass if done properly.
