The movie adaptation of Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" might be happening soon. The comic book story that introduced readers to the uncanny world of Dreams and the Endless is now hinted to be on the works.  

The wait might be too long for avid comic readers who are anticipating the upcoming film. The "Sandman" movie adaptation was first slated in 2013 after 24 years that the comic book was published in 1989. Producer David Goyer initiated the call to produce the said plan for the comic book while Joseph Gordon Levitt was the actor slated to play the lead cast for the movie.

But after three years of the said plan, the production for the movie is still on the rocks and there are no further steps taken to make it into a reality. Although Tech Times detailed that Goyer once revealed in an interview that "Sandman" might indeed start filming this 2016, but there are still no confirmation afterwards.

"We're just about to do a new draft," said Goyer from the outlet. "All of the Vertigo properties ported over to New Line a few months ago. There was a decision from the higher-ups that New Line would focus on the Vertigo properties and Warner Bros would focus on the DC properties. So we're just starting a re-write with a really fantastic writer that fans of your site will enjoy that's coming aboard, but I can't quite announce it yet."

While the filming of "Sandman" is speculated this 2016, Moviepilot cascaded the idea on who can play the role of Dream, Destiny, Death, Destruction, Desire, Despair and Delirium. Starting of with the character Dream, the site chose Tom Hiddleston to play the main protagonist in the comics series. Apart from Hiddleston, Michael Fassbender is mentioned to be a good choice for the role of Destiny while "Deadpool's" Brianna Hildebrand is eyed for the role of Death.

"Sandman" the movie may still be mum about the details of the film, but Goyer once answered in his interview that, "But I understand the decision because we're not having to fight for release dates with the Vertigo stuff like we would have been having to do over at Warner Bros. But I feel confident that film will go into production hopefully next year."
