Brief Lives
Concept Art
The two above images are from https://them0vieblog.com/2012/08/22/have-a-look-at-jill-thompsons-sandman-movie-concept-art/ These are Thompsons illustrations from what was supposed to be a The Sandman movie, but was later cancelled. It looks like things actually got reasonably far along, and artist Jill Thompson has released her conceptual artwork for one iteration of the film. It’s really quite lovely, even if it does raise concerns about just how much the studio might have been trying to fit into one film. There are elements there from the vast majority of Sandman stories. Given the series ran for seventy-odd issues, trying to compress all that into a two-hour film seems like a fool’s errand.
