I just choked on my food.


I am the one, the only, LORD GOD CHLISH OF THE TICKS! All hail.

"Billy, the large-mouth singing bass."

I watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory this night. Laughter ensued.

Great film.
I think Johnny Depp would make a great Dream.

Corinthian: Who can take a landscape
Sprinkle it with dreams?
Cover it in nightmares
and a whisper or a scream?

Cain & Abel: The sandman
The sandman can
The sandman can cause he mixes it with sand and makes the dreamer's dreams good

Librarian: Who can take a nighttime
Wrap it in a sky
Soak it in the sun
and make you feel like you can fly?

Dreamers: The sandman?

Matthew: The sandman
The sandman can
The sandman can cause he mixes it with sand and makes the dreamer's dreams good

Delirium: Morpheus of Endless makes
Everyone he wakes
Feel satisfied or malicious
Think about their childhood wishes
They can even dream of fishes

Eve: Who can take tomorrow
Dip it in a dream
Seperate the sorrow
And make it all more than it seems?

All: The sandman

Dreamers: Morpheus of Endless can

Death: The sandman can cause he mixes it with sand
And makes the dreamer's dreams good
And the dreamer's dreams are good 'cause the sandman thinks they should


I am the one, the only, LORD GOD CHLISH OF THE TICKS! All hail.

I'm just having a fun time imaginning Cain and Abel holding hands and skipping through shifting dreamworks while singing that bit together.

Destiny- Hugo Weaving
Death- Rachel Weisz, or perhaps Maggie Gylenhall?

With some makeup and long hair I think ADRIEN BRODY would be perfect for dream. tall, skinny, pale, big nose and the right kind of manic depressive expression on his face.

Better late than never.

Ric Ocasek of the Cars would be a fantastic dream.

Siouxsie I agree to.

Cyndi Lauper for Delirium

Katie Lang for Desire



hhhmmmm if we could go back in time and they were actors.

Hayden Christiansen has the perfect physique for Dream. He's also a pretty good actor when not being directed by George Lucas. I also like someone else's choice of Adrian Brody, though I prefer him as Destiny.
Ellen Paige should be Death.
Blake Lively or Brittany Murphy could be Delirium.
Katherine Moennig would be a good choice for Desire, as Tilda Swinton is probably too old now.
Brendan Gleason was first to come to mind as Destruction, but in keeping with the ages of the other performers, I'd recommend Tyler Mane.
Despair will likely be computer generated or a fat suit, so the voice performer would be most key in that role (and almost anyone can whisper!) but I think it would be cool if it was Amber Tamblyn.

Jude Law would make an excellent Lucifer, and the Corinthian could be Mads Mikkelsen.

My first response to that was a mental "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" But then I looked up some images of Hayden, since my only experience of him is as Anakin. Here's one of the ones which changed my mind:
With a little tinkering:
Mmm...yeah.

I know this is kind of an older thread, but I couldn't resist...

I've always thought several different actors should play Dream. The way his appearance changed in the series with each artist who rendered him, I thought it was perfect for the character.

I add my vote to those for Johnathan Rhys Meyers. *Rowr* as Bast would say...

Oh, I agree with who said Zoe Deschanel could be Death. Christini Ricci probably could do it, too.

As to Lucifer, I though, "OMG, its David Bowie," when I was reading "Preludes but David Bowie doesn't look like that anymore so Cillian Murphy...Heh. The "casting game" is my favorite mental game aside from "what would I do if I won the lottery."

Heh! That would be something cool to do with it, to be sure. I know she is not androgynous enough but I think Angelina Jolie would be perfect for Desire. Anna Paquin for Delerium?


Anyway, I found this cool fake trailer for a Sandman movie.

That trailer is awesome indeed! I especially like the billowing dust/sand at the end.

Yes, the swirling dust/sand WAS very cool. I'm glad you liked it!

Here is some photographic evidence for my Angelina Jolie theory of Desire. I could *make* you want a grape...or a strawberry.
