At last year’s Comic Con, writer/artist Neil Gaiman said "I’d rather no Sandman movie got made than [to have] a bad Sandman movie." And now comes word that director Joel Schumacher might want to tackle this project.
The quote and the info comes from IESB.net, but aside from "Joel Schumacher expressed some interest in Gaiman’s Sandman while being interviewed at a recent press junket," that’s pretty much all we got. Frankly I think Joel Schumacher and Neil Gaiman would go together like gravel and peanut butter, but that’s just me.

Not that I’m a blind hater where Schumacher’s concerned. True that his bad flicks outnumber his good ones, but he’s made a handful of solid titles ("Phone Booth," "Falling Down," "The Lost Boys"). I just don’t see the director of "Batman & Robin" as the right guy to adapt a Neil Gaiman book — especially one like "Sandman."
