Netflix has also gone through San Diego Comic-Con. The streaming platform continues to heat up for the premiere of “The Sandman”, the adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s comic books. The Tom Sturridge-led drama unveiled its new trailer in Hall H.:
In the preview we can see a little better the cast that will accompany Sueño, or make things more complicated. Gwendoline Christie plays Lucifer, Boyd Holbrook as Corinthian, Vivienne Acheampong as Lucienne, Jenna Coleman as Johanna Constantine, Kirby Howell-Baptiste as Death, Mason Alexander Park as Desire and Patton Oswalt as Raven Matthew.
For those unfamiliar with graphic novels, “The Sandman” is one of the names by which Sueño is known, responsible for shaping our desires and fears. One day the protagonist is captured and leaves humanity for a century without dreams, unbalancing our world and his. To restore order, he will have to embark on a journey through different ages and worlds to analyze his mistakes and meet old allies and enemies..
Dave McKean is back
Neil Gaiman was at the presentation of the series at Comic-Con and continues to strongly support the vision of showrunners Allan Heinberg and David S. Goyer, despite the fact that it took him decades for him to accept an adaptation of his work. In a previous interview, he assured him that this series “It’s made for people who love ‘The Sandman’ and for people who love ‘The Sandman'”. For the occasion, moreover, he managed to convince Dave McKean, comic book cover designer, to return from retirement and draw the credits titles for each of the ten episodes, which will be different in each chapter..
“The Sandman” debuts on Netflix on August 5th.
