Neil Gaiman Lets Himself Heard On Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Decision To Abandon 'Sandman' Movie

News that Joseph Gordon-Levitt has left the upcoming "Sandman" movie adaptation is already all over the internet.

In his Facebook page, Gordon-Levitt, who is supposed to star, co-produce, and direct, revealed that he is quitting the highly-anticipated movie from Warner Bros. based on the critically-acclaimed novel series of the same name.

He said, he just don't see eye to eye with New Line studio when it comes to his plan for "Sandman" movie.

"Recently, as you also might know if you like to follow these sorts of things, the sorta "ownership" (for lack of a better term) of the Sandman material changed hands when Warner Brothers shifted the entire catalogue of Vertigo comics (an imprint of DC) to their subsidiary, New Line," he said on his Facebook account. "And a few months ago, I came to realize that the folks at New Line and I just don't see eye to eye on what makes Sandman special, and what a film adaptation could/should be. So unfortunately, I decided to remove myself from the project. I wish nothing but the best for the team moving forward."

Neil Gaiman, the man behind Sandman and other DC characters, was among the creative consultants Gordon-Levitt was working with before he quit, along with Dark Knight trilogy screenwriter David S. Goyer.

Although Gaiman rues the fact that Gordon-Levitt has to leave the "Sandman" movie adaptation, he has nothing but sweet words for the talented actor.

He also reminded people that “Sandman” movie adaptation can go on whether he has an input or not.
