The Sandman Movie Art by Jill Thompson

Now don't get too excited, Neil Gaiman has posted a link via his Twitter feed to these illustrations by Jill Thompson that were for a movie pitch which he showed to Warner Bros. back when The Sandman movie was in the very early stages of development.

As it happens I'm currently re-reading The Sandman 75 issue run, currently up to the 'A Game Of You' mini series (#32-37), and I recognise a few of the artworks, such as, Dream trying to reclaim his possessions after being imprisoned (Prelude and Nocturnes #1-8) and the Serial Killer Convention (The Doll's House #9-16).

Gaiman also revealed that they were pitching for three movies, hence the broad scale of the number of illustrations. And being a fan of the comics, I would've loved to have seen a movie (or even a TV series for that matter) adapted from the comics.

A selection of the illustrations after the jump too (click to embiggen).
