I could see Del Toro nailing it on the head yeah. Or maybe Alex Proyas, considering his work on The Crow and Dark City.

Still there's the question of casting. The Endless are so out there it's kinda hard to peg an actor for them (except Desire. I maintain that Tilda Swinton is the best possible choice). The human characters aren't nearly so hard I guess.

My idea Tom Hiddleston for Destiny, Felicty Jones for Death, Jude Law for Dream, Tilda Swinton for Desire, Someone new for Despair, Chloe Grace-Moretz for Delirium, Kevin Nash for Destruction.

I say Evan Rachel Wood for Death, Ian Mc Kellan as Destiny, or Peter Capaldi XD...damn I still can't think of a really good Dream. If this was 20 years ago, I would've said David Bowie in a heartbeat. Maybe Hiddleston could pull Dream off better than Destiny?

Benedict Cumberbatch, obviously.

Also, for the love of God, no topless fourteen-year-old child actress as Delirium. You know who'd do a great Delirium if we cast Ability over Appearance? Serkis!

In that case, Idi Amin should play Destiny. Despair should be played by Bill Murray.

And she doesn't have to be topless. Modesty tape and strategically placed camera angles would keep things fine. Or her costume would be one of those things that obviously would have to be changed in the transition from page to screen.

I feel like Cumberbatch is too obvious a choice...and he's tied to Marvel now anyway.

I hope Crispin Glover gets to play the Corinthian though. That would be epic.

Any reason he can't be in both? Plus, Sandman is not DC proper.

It may not be DC proper as in cinematic universe or whatever, but it's still a DC property.
