Netflix has announced that its live-action adaptation of The Sandman will premiere on August 5.
Revealed during the first day of Netflix's announcement-filled Geeked Week, the release date for the long awaited series was dropped at the end of a new trailer. The trailer shows off the titular charcater's escape from captivity, and a glimpse at the chaos it causes as a result.
In it we see more of Tom Sturridge as Dream, Vivienne Acheampong as Lucienne, and Boyd Holbrook as The Corinthian within the horror and fantasy-blended world created by Neil Gaiman, Mike Dringenberg and Sam Keith. Though she was missing from this latest trailer, Netflix has previously released a poster featuring Gwendoline Christie as Lucifer (Brienne of Tarth in HBO's Game of Thrones) which also showed off comic-accurate visuals.
The comic's creepy atmosphere is brought into Netflix's adaptation, helped by Gaiman executive producing the series alongside Allan Heinberg and David Goyer, with certain scenes pulled directly from the comic.
While fans had a brief glimpse of The Sandman in the teaser trailer released last month, this is the first proper look since the initial trailer was revealed in September last year.
The Sandman focuses on Dream (also known as Morpheus amongst other names), the living embodiment of dreams and one of The Endless, a family of immortal and incredibly powerful, god-like beings.
Each represents a different aspect of reality, with Dream joined by Destiny, Death, Destruction, Desire, Despair, and Delirium.
