I don't like Sandman, so I don't care either way. What do the fans think?

Joel Schumacher should stay with doing films like Phone Booth and Falling Down and stop pretending he has anything remotely worthy to be doing with comic book properties.

He was the one who directed Batman and Robin right?


*loads shotgun*

 

[Victor Von Doom]

I'm in the same boat as Project Bass.


Schumacher isn't that great of a director to begin with.......and his foray into the comic realm wasn't pretty at all (even though I got the idea he was aiming for with Batman/Robin).


And while Sandman is a great saga......I'm no fan.




So its kinda "meh" for me.

What was that? To kill the franchise completely? He came close....

No. He wanted the feel of the film to mock the campy Adam West TV show. I got the idea......too bad it just wasn't executed properly.

 

[Planet-man]

Depends on how they do it.

I think it should be straight-up Film Noir awesomeness, and I don't know if he's capable of that.

But you never know. And even though I'm one of the biggest Batman fans you'll ever meet, I don't harbour a grudge against him at all. He had good intentions for the Bat-franchise that ended up getting ruined, and even wanted to do a serious dark 5th film based on Year One and featuring The Scarecrow. He even apologized for B&R on the commentary!

Besides, like somone said, he DID make Falling Down, which is one of the best movies ever, and Phonebooth, which was Hitchcockian bliss.

I feel like vomiting.

I remember about eight years ago the then Warner Brothers co-studio head Billy Gerber told me that he got weekly calls from people who wanted to make, direct or star in a Sandman film. "On Wednesday," he said, "Michael Jackson called about it." Given the comments some months ago from Alan Horn and Jeff Robinoff, who now run Warner Brothers, I don't believe the calls from people who want to make Sandman have decreased in the last eight years -- quite the reverse. Which I mention because I got a small deluge of letters from people asking me what I thought about Joel Shumacher saying in an interview that he'd love to direct a Sandman film and wondering if that meant that it was now about to happen, and of course it doesn't and it isn't. It simply puts Mr Schumacher in a very long line of people who want to make Sandman, some way ahead of Michael Jackson.

As a devoted Sandman fan who thinks anyone who doesn't like the series is a Commie Pinko Terrorist and a Nazi. I couldn't be more relieved to hear that Schumacher won't be getting near the franchise.

All I have to say is: Guillermo Del Toro + Neil Gaiman Directing a Horror Fantasy Sandman Trilogy would be ****ing Brilliant.

Huh. You're right. I never looked at it that way.

 

[Zombipanda]

Eh... I think Sandman would work best as an HBO show anyway.

 

[Ultimate Houde]

Yeah, HBO show so they don't have to cut anything out.

Is this the new behaviour of Baxter.I have seen him writing stuff like this on a few more threads.

 

[Joe Kalicki]

I think Schumacher's a pretty good director. As previously stated, Falling Down rocks and is one of the first DVDs I bought, along with Seven, before I even had a DVD player. Lost Boys and Flatliners are cool, and I actually liked Batman and Robin, I don't care what anyone says. I hated Batman Forever though. And I don't think I would like a Batman and Robin 2. As one movie I enjoyed it.

Plus, for whoever said he couldn't do a noir movie, I should point out he did 8mm. Which sucked, but was very noirish.

I was. . . otherwise engaged. . . during Phantom of the Opera, but I know the music sucked. Looked like it might have been very stylish, though.

It's his brain injury. He's getting a lobotomy soon and hopefully will be back to normal.

Poor guy.

Yes it would. Except it would be waay to expensive for a television show.

I have no objection to Death-titties.

Yes. Neither do I. But this still makes me want to cry.
