Watched the first two episodes and was just gobsmacked at how perfectly suited that casting is. They got everyone right from what I’ve seen so far, but god is Holbrook perfect
Honestly I'm trying to not get too hyped but the way director, actors and actresses talk about their character gets me hyped. Like it shows they really know their character and the world their respected characters give breath to.
Oh my gosh, I am so excited about this series! The actors and actresses look like they will be fantastic fits for such beloved characters! And...! Mark Hamill as Merv Pumkinhead! Mind blown!
Tom Sturridge just casually tossing out details from Overture when many Sandman fans have trouble naming the seven Endless in order - yep, this guy is Morpheus!
What "fan" of Sandman doesn't know the order of the Endless? If you don't your card is hereby revoked and you're given HOMEWORK to raise you to a remedial level fan.
@@douglasdean3785 LOL! I'd like to believe that was true, and *I* can certainly name the Endless in order without a second though; but be nice. 😉 Some folks have only read Sandman once so far; and even though they've fallen in love with it, they need to reread it before they can remember all the details you and I know. That's doesn't make them non-fans; it just makes them newbie fans. 🙂
Favorite graphic novel of all time and it looks like they may really, really do it justice. The fact that Neil said "this is the one" after the countless dead adaptations over time says a lot. The hype is true, the hype is real.
@@jflip8748 I loved the show and I'm going to read the comic now, some things where less but not bad but if they get more episodes to will be even better.
@@AS-ri1mb Bullshit. Neil refused tons of scripts for the sandman during his lifetime, some of which were big movie deals because he didn't like what they had This time he's full in
@@AS-ri1mb You know he's been fighting against adaptations he felt weren't true, often offered a lot of money, for over a decade right? Beyond that, actually he said no to a lot of casting attempts, the studio didn't want Tom as Dream.
When Boyd smiles ,I wanna bite his cute chin! And Tom is a true Morphues with That hypnotic eyes...what a perfect castings especially for Dream , Corinthian, Lucifer , Desire and Lucienne. and Do not forget about how great David Thewlis is in this series too.
My favourite comic series of all time. I’ve been waiting on a great adaptation for a long time. Technology is finally at a point where a series can be made which can represent the splendour of the comic imagery. This could never be a movie, and Neil holding out for the right team and script to translate his story from comic to screen was the right move. I do hope they can produce the whole story over a number of seasons.
SQWEE! There's gonna be a new episode for me on my 60th birthday! I remember when Sandman was being released on an semi irregular basis during The Kindly Ones arc, wearing Sandman T-Shirts out to the clubs, Still Life with Cats was on my bedroom wall and DREAMING of when this story would manifest on a screen before my eyes one day when it wasn't just a few a few thousand of us anxiously awaiting the next part of the story to be told. Neil, THANK YOU! Some of us out here remember the day we picked up our 1st issue and were forevermore hooked!
Yes. Jenna is the most talented, beautiful and kind actress of our time. Beautiful inside and out. She will go very far in life and success. God bless her. 💓💓🙏😍
Fantastic News! Amazing Cast! Can't wait. Jenna Coleman will be brilliant!! Such a talented, beautiful and kind human being. One of the greatest actresses of all time. She will go so far in life with huge success. 💓💓😍
This is a story about all types and kinds of stories. You could see the slight influence watching Doctor Who growing up in Neil's youth as he decided to make the Sandman stories go across all of space and time unbound from any one genre.
Oh man, I can't wait for this! I've been re-reading the graphic novels, having a ball! I have the same level of anticipation for this as I did for the Watchmen film, back when it was announced! I totally lost my sh1t when I saw the glimpse of The Corinthian at the end of the new trailer! August 5!!!!! Hurry up August!👍🤘
How Can Neil Gaiman be cute XD he is so eloquent I love all his books but I love his audiobooks even more because his voice is awesome and make the stories goes to a certain pace. So excited about this, the cast looks so talented lets wait and see what the can pull off
@@AS-ri1mb my bad, for having heard the word "family" dozens of times when i watched the witcher's cast panel videos, then... (i won't go into the other two for i haven't watched anything on them)
Best birthday present evar!!!! It comes out 2 days before! I am excited to see this show probably more than anything I've ever watched! This old geek will celebrate her 52nd finally seeing the endless on screen.
This looks like it's going to be amazing! Was a little sad to see John Constantine won't be making an appearance but since he was only in the one issue I can understand why.
I mean, that won't be Johanna Constantine until we get The Song of Orpheus. In the meantime it sounds like they were not able to get John and had to work on something else.
It's because at the time The Sandman series was being made, Warner Bros expected JJ Abrams to do his version of Hellblazer and it's even more than obvious that it was JJ Abrams' request that they not use John Constantine so there wouldn't be comparisons if John Constantine was used in The Sandman and they said they did a better job than JJ Abrams did.
what Allen said is just right, I'm become a new fan, a baby sandman now after watching The Sandman series. I'm curious to know more and will be search and collect all the sandman collection and others Neill Gaiman books. I become Neil Gaiman fans. thanks Netflix for letting this amazing adaptation be as Netflix show that almost entire world can easily get it to watch in every countries.
Been waiting like 20 years for this. The stories upon stories about to be unleashed. I keep telling ppl heads up, everyone will be talking about Sandman in two months time. Did you enjoy Coraline? American Gods? Well, get ready!!! BEST modern mythologist alive is Neil Gaiman, & his masterpiece is Sandman. C'mon, Endless Crew! Oh, you think yr family has problems? ALSO: Side note b/c it won't get much mention...NG's revolving door of excellent Illustrators & Comic artist he employed in the Sandman series i.e.: Kent Williams, Dave McKean, Yoshitaka Amano, etc. Neil always gave platforms to artists he respected. If the posters were recreations of some of the most famous covers that woulda been a hella cool homage, alas......
I love the show and I actually intended to watch it on the first night it dropped but I was busy, so I ended up watching it three days ago, and it was so good I watched it in one setting. The set was amazing, I felt like I was watching a movie because the buildings like Morpheus' home and hell were enormous. I also love the interaction between the endless characters. For example, the interaction with Death and Dream where she asks Dream why people fear entering the realm of death but yet they happily enter the realms of dream willing every night. As a mortal I can answer that question, first things first we are not aware we have entered that realm and most people cannot retain their dreams when they wake up. I can't tell you how many times I have had a dream and by lunchtime, I have forgotten what the dream was about. Only in extreme cases can I remember the dream. The second is unlike the realms of dreams you can't come back and there is also the possibility of going down instead of up. I also love watching fantasy shows or films like Sandman where hell is depicted to the audience but not to people in that universe, and you witness the people of that universe doing terrible things not knowing that hell exists and that is where they will end up. To put that in the context of Sandman and I try to do it without revealing any spoilers. There was a convention held every year like Comic-con except where Comic-con is all about dressing up as your favorite character and you get to meet and interact with other fans as well as the actors. However, in this Comic-con named "Cereal convention," a play on the name "serial" is where killers gather. These killers are remorseless, sadistic, psychopaths, and sociopaths who call themselves collectors and within their ranks, it includes women, and men of all different races, ages, etc. There was also a hilarious scene where the women in the convention were arguing with a room of other women that there are just as good at killing as their male counterparts and they hate it when other people claim their use their sexuality to kill because it is simply untrue because they use cunning, guile, etc to kill not sexuality and all the women in the room were nodding in agreement LMFAO. I found that scene funny, hell the entire convention was funny, a convention organized by serial killers for serial killers, and let not forget the guest speaker who himself has been killing for a hundred and thirty years and his empowering speech which had the other killers clapping lol. I remember thinking don't you know that you are all going to hell because unlike this world we know that hell really does exist in the world of the Sandman? I don't care what anyone says I love this show.
@@pedrojosecedillojuarez8682 Then why the flying fuck is she in modern day ya noob. She’s playing a female John as well as the ancestor. The least she could have done is a Liverpool accent.
@@pedrojosecedillojuarez8682 yeah but John Constantine does show up in the comics, pretty early on too (issue #3). Im guessing Johana will replace John in the plot he has in the comics
I mean, if Johanna Constantine is basically taking the place of John Constantine in this version, and they follow the comics story faithfully, I’m pretty sure they’ll only be on screen together for one episode. Still, if they have good chemistry together, that’s all you really need for a good ship.
@@pjdougherty6442 Hope that she's a new character and vital to the plot. It would suck if she has very less scenes with Morpheus. I will keep my hopes low though.
@@MB-gb5pv Personally, I’m hoping it sticks to the plot of the comics, even if it means less screen time for brilliant characters. In the comics, it’s a big sprawling world full of unique characters and interesting ideas one after another. It starts with an arc of Morpheus aka Dream being imprisoned for around a hundred years and going on a search for his stolen items after breaking out, but other Sandman stories may be about Dream and Delirium looking for their missing brother, Destruction, or Hell closing down and Dream deciding which deity to give the key to Hell to, or a girl named Barbie, a lesbian couple, a witch and a trans woman going on a quest through the dream world, or even small side stories like the one where Dream and Death grant a man immortality and visit him every hundred years, or the one where Dream meets Shakespeare, or the one about a cat telling the other cats what she learned from Morpheus in her dreams. As long as the show matches the comics unique style and creativity, I’ll be satisfied.
@@pjdougherty6442 I personally would prefer an adaptation like The Boys, borrowing things but not copy pasting it. Would make it far more exciting and unpredictable.
@@MB-gb5pv That could work too. Personally I haven’t read the original comics of Doom Patrol, for example, but I loved the show, which apparently borrowed elements from a bunch of different versions of the Doom Patrol in the comics while still having it’s own identity.
Why is "Constantine" pronounced differently here (by both the American and the British) than they pronounce it on "Constantine" or "Legends of Tomorrow" (also in both American and British)? The characters are in the same family, did DC never really bothered to decide how it's actually supposed to be pronounced and it's everyone's guess?
One of the few shows where the casting of doesn't bothered me at all. Death for instance... In the comics she's a goth I would say, but to see Kirby Howell-Baptiste as Death, I knew drom the first second she was on screen, she's Death! Same for Johanna Constantine replacing John Constantine. Seeing John would be great but seeing Jenna Coleman's performance as Johanna Constantine was amazing. And It would be a shame seeing her only in the short part of the Hob Gadling part. Gladly we will see Johanna in Season 2 when she helps Dream as he stated to Hob during that Episode. Seeing Gwendoline Christie is always great, and she's such an amazing Lucifer Morningstar! So the casting of Sandman is amazing and it shows, when the creator is involved in the process the result will be as good as the original! The Witcher should take a good look at that, because only Yennifer, Ciri and Geralt are a good casting the rest is bullshit as fuck!
@@gateauxq4604 I know, lol. I was commenting on when Neil brought up people calling the Endless a dysfunctional family. He’d never heard that term and when he had it described he said “so you mean ‘a family’?” I agree with him because I’ve never seen a family that wasn’t dysfunctional on some level.
15:13 21:16 So Constantine is posh, serving the royal family and not Liverpudlian? So only Constantine by surname then? Edit: I know who Lady Johanna Constantine is. This trailer doesn’t show Lady Johanna, but a modern day descendant of her.
She's not meant to be a genderbent John. As long as she portrays the general feel of a Constantine family member, we're good. Also, look up Lady Johanna Constantine.
@@MasterZeus94 I am well aware of Lady Johanna Constantine, but she is not playing Lady Johanna here, she is playing the modern day Johanna Constantine who is taking John’s place in the story. She doesn’t have to be the same as John, but to replace John, who’s working class, with someone who’s posh feels disrespectful to the importance of his character.
@@jemstar63 taking John's place in the story =/= needs to be like John in every aspect. He only appears in one issue for chrissakes, they probably expanded and changed the role significantly.
@@ImVeryOriginal That’s why I said right after that “She doesn’t have to be the same as John”. Being Liverpudlian is just a small thing, I mainly care about the issue of her class which is incredibly important to John’s character and by extension his character in The Sandman.
@@jemstar63 If this was John Constantine and they changed him to a posh guy I'd totally get the complaint. But it doesn't matter what class the character replacing him is that much because it plays little role in the plot. They might have had a a reason for changing it as the role is probably significantly expanded (also remember Lady Johanna Constantine was quite wealthy, they might also be drawing from that).
I wish that Vivienne played a beautiful woman character, like she is! I cannot for the life of my understand why a White man or White non-binary person didn’t just play Lucian the librarian! As as BW, it doesn’t make sense to me, short hair/bald and Black doesn’t automatically mean masculine. She’s so pretty. Reminds me of Dune, that pissed me off too, even though I loved the movie.
@@onlygood222 true but the other black actresses in this series and startrek play femininity characters. As a darkskin black woman I'm trying to look at the positive side that atleast we finally having doors open for us and eventually we will have even more femininity roles like the new Jurassic park movie. It's a lot of people that only want to see darkskin women in masculine and ugly roles but there are more positive femininity roles also. Can't stay negative
