What Did 'Sandman' Creator Neil Gaiman Say About Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Exit?
Movie

Neil Gaiman respects the actor's decision and would love to work with him 'some more,' which the star replies with 'deepest thanks.'

AceShowbiz - Neil Gaiman responded to Joseph Gordon-Levitt's departure from "Sandman" movie. The comic book's writer initially developed a script for the big-screen adaptation with Gordon-Levitt and producer David Goyer before the actor decided to drop out of the project.

Gaiman tweeted, "My respect for @hitRECordJoe, is undiminished. Getting to know him was the best bit of the last round. He's special." He added, "I would love to work with @hitRECordJoe some more. He's smart, honest & really nice." Gordon-Levitt replied, "Deepest thanks, kind sir. I sincerely hope we find another way to collaborate sooner than later.."

The "Snowden" actor called it quits due to creative differences. The problem arose after the changes in Warner Brothers resulting in the shifting of "the entire catalogue of Vertigo comics (an imprint of DC) to their subsidiary, New Line." The actor couldn't see eye to eye with the studio "on what makes Sandman special, and what a film adaptation could/should be."

"Reminder for the curious: I don't own SANDMAN. @DCComics does. I don't choose who writes scripts, the director, producer or cast," Gaiman explained. "I didn't lose them: I never owned them. The deal was done when I was 26, long ago, & I figured it was worth it." He went on, "For me, what's important is the 2,500 pages of SANDMAN, not a movie that may or may not ever happen."
