Neil Gaiman, the author of The Sandman, discusses a sequence from the Netflix series adaption that made him cry. The Sandman, written by Gaiman and published by DC Comics from 1989 to 1996, had 75 issues. The main character of the tale is Morpheus, the titular Sandman, also known as Dream, who is captured and imprisoned for 106 years before escaping and returning to his now-chaotic kingdom of the Dreaming. In addition to tom Sturridge, who plays Morpheus/Dream, Jenna Coleman, Gwendoline Christie, Boyd Holbrook, Patton Oswalt, Charles Dance, john Dee, and others, the show also stars Boyd Holbrook as The Corinthian, Patton Oswalt as Matthew the Raven, Gwendoline Christie, who plays Lucifer, and Charles Dance, who plays Roderick Burgess.

The Sandman has seen numerous attempts at a live-action adaptation, but due to Gaiman, David S. Goyer, and Allan Heinberg, it has finally succeeded at Netflix. Prior to the switch to television, a film version of The Sandman, to be directed and starred in by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, was in the works. However, due to creative differences, the plot ended up being much longer than the two hours of a feature film. At Comic-Con, the first full trailer for The Sandman debuted, giving viewers a good look at the programme, which appears to be an accurate adaptation of Gaiman's original work.
