    Anothing thing of note, there will be a Vertigo announcement of films (much like the DC announcement) that will include many more titles.

    great on the Vertigo announcement, Preacher i think will translate beautifully to the big screen, Fables will be mad dope if done right, but a Sandman adaptation? good fucking luck.

    Hnng. Well, it's hard, because the graphic novel is unquestionably its best form - I mean, we're talking about Sandman, which belongs in the discussion as the best content in the entire medium.

    But I'm a sucker for Sandman, so I'll be excited to follow this development. Gaiman has a tendency to be very involved in adaptations of his work, so here's hoping. Then again, I've been watiing n that HBO American Gods for forever, so who knows if this will ever even really take off

    Makes me wonder what they'll actually try to cover with the movie. There was a script (or a few?) like almost 10 years ago for this; one was pretty decent (http://www.wordplayer.com/archives/SANDMAN.cover.html , great advice site for screen writing, and writing in general).

    I see Goyer being involved and it makes me sad

    Preacher is already going to AMC as a TV series, though still no real world on how neutered the grail arc will end up.

    Vertigo as a whole is by far my favorite comic brand. I keep an entire row on my bookshelf dedicated to Vertigo graphic novels, including every single graphic novel of Fables, Preacher, and Y the Last Man.

    Director / lead actor, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, has dropped the project due to creative differences.

    I think I would rather die than see Captain Jack Morpheus.
