4. What's up with the SANDMAN, DEATH, BOOKS OF MAGIC, and STARDUST movies?

Warner Bros. optioned a SANDMAN movie based on issues 1-8. Jon Peters is
the producer; Neil Gaiman has no involvement with it. Eight or nine
scripts have been written and junked over the years.

A DEATH movie for Warner Bros. would be based on the "High Cost of Living"
miniseries. If the movie happens, Gaiman will write and direct.

Gaiman is also executive producer of a BOOKS OF MAGIC feature film, based
on the original miniseries; as of December 1998, he said its condition is
"encouraging". Matt Greenberg (Halloween: H20, Mimic) is the screenwriter.
Finally, Gaiman is involved with adapting NEVERWHERE and STARDUST for
Dimension Films.
