The Sandman [DVD]

Product Information

In bringing these characters to life, the cast has an immense responsibility, and they sure know it. Almost everyone in the cast is playing a character who has never been portrayed in live-action before. With filming complete, the actors can now speak about their experiences and begin to build the hype. For instance, during Sandman’s segment at Netflix’s TUDUM event, two stars — Tom Sturridge (Dream) and Kirby Howell-Baptise (Death) — took a moment to weigh in on the show.

Hmm…. well, I was sure things wouldn’t work out quite that smoothly, and I’d only been watching for five minutes! Destruction, not yet cast: Strongly built and immensely powerful, he who is Destruction brings upon, well, destruction and change. However, Destruction is the only one of the Endless to have abandoned his position after realizing that he is not needed for humanity to fulfill his role. Instead, Destruction lives out his days in peace and tranquility, creating works of art, without the need for his sword. It remains unlikely that we’ll see him in the Netflix show since his first appearance in the comics doesn’t arrive until volume 7, “Brief Lives.”

Mandy.com gives us an idea as to some of the smaller cast members to feature in Netflix’s The Sandman. Writers: Neil Gaiman, David S Goyer, Allan Heinberg, Lauren Bello, Heather Bellson, Vanessa Benton, Jim Campolongo, Jay Franklin, Austin Guzman, Alexander Newman-Wise, Ameni Rozsa, Catherine Smyth-McMullen Other characters whose stories have come to a natural end are Gilbert, aka Fiddler's Green – who transformed into his true form as a meadow – and Hob Gadling, who will continue to bask in his immortality. We hope Stephen Fry and Ferdinand Kingsley will reprise their roles for cameos, but we wouldn't anticipate anything larger. Salmon, William (August 8, 2022).

Netflix Originals getting physical releases isn’t unheard of but is generally quite rare. Oftentimes, the only way to get a physical release is because the underlying rights are owned by another company (that’s the case here with Warner Bros. Discovery / Warner Bros. Television behind the show for Netflix) or if a movie gets added to the Criterion collection. Lawler, Kelly (August 5, 2022).

Lucienne and Matthew deduce that Lyta's pregnancy is the result of Rose's increasing power, which threatens to break the barriers between the Dreaming and the waking world. The Corinthian calls Rose with Jed, sharing their location at the "cereal convention." Rose travels to the hotel to meet them, accompanied by Gilbert, a fellow guest at Hal's B&B and a self-styled "gentleman." Lyta continues to meet Hector in her dreams, and finds that her pregnancy is advancing at a rapid rate. Morpheus notices increasing damage to the Dreaming, which Lucienne attributes to Rose, though Morpheus is unsure of her theory. Morpheus finds Lyta and Hector in the Dreaming and realizes that the Vortex has allowed Hector's spirit to inhabit the Dreaming, in lieu of him passing on to the afterlife. Morpheus banishes Hector from the Dreaming and informs Lyta that her unborn child will one day belong to him because it was conceived in the Dreaming. Rose and Gilbert arrive at the hotel and search for Jed. While searching, the Corinthian and Gilbert recognize each other, causing Gilbert to flee to the Dreaming, where he is revealed to be a personified Fiddler’s Green, one of the other rogue Dreaming residents. Gilbert relays the Corinthian and Rose's location to Morpheus. a b c Goldberg, Lesley (June 30, 2019). " 'Sandman' TV Series From Neil Gaiman, David Goyer — With Huge Price Tag — a Go at Netflix".
