https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e54llvV_tc Gaiman going through the trailer talking about casting choices. No real spoilers but he does explain what's going on in some of the scenes.

I am super impressed with the creature effects. Gregory the Gargoyle looks really great, and Matthew and Merv Pumpkin look PERFECT.

TheBigBudgetSequel posted:Looks like they are really beefing up The Corinthian to be THE big bad of the show and I am okay with that because Boyd Holbrook looks to be just scary as hell in the role. He's the final threat from the comics they're adapting, but I doubt he'll have all that much more screentime, proportionally speaking. I think they've just edited it to make him seem more significant -- the same with Desire's appearances.

A fun thing from that Gaiman interview is that he mentions they went through 2000 auditions for Morpheus only to end up back at square one with their literal first choice.

And it looks like they were on the money. Sturridge looks perfect. and Gaiman has said that those disappointed by his lack of black eyes with stars in it will see them at certain points in the show.

Gaiman has said that Delirium has not been cast as they are waiting to see if they get the green light for season 2 which would introduce her in the first episode. Same with Destiny (although in the comics he does briefly appear before Season of Mists with no dialog, and technically is the only Endless Gaiman didn't create for the series)

Joe Chill posted:Looks good but I'm disappointed David Goyer is involved since all his shows are very boring. Honestly, I think he was mostly involved in getting the show picked up, and working on the pilot, and then Allan and Neil looked after the rest, because he doesn't seem to have had much involvement with the show overall outside of producing

In all likelihood it is one of those producer barnacles where he had something to do with it at one point but not any more.

And he was responsible for going "Hey this shouldn't be a movie, can we take to TV" after the 2013 film fizzled out. So he's basically responsible for it happening, helped get it started and then stepped back, I think.

According to Gaiman the end credits for each episode are unique and all done by Dave McKean.

Maybe I've just grown intensely cynical but it's precisely the fact that they seem to have nailed just about everything so far, from involving Gaiman to the cast to McKean credits, that makes me think it can't possibly be any good. No production company can get everything right and they've got to be coming up on the limit. Just generally Netflix strikes me as more in the business of making ~engaging content~ than making art which I'm sure is gonna creep in. And someone's got to know they already got enough stuff right for it to be well received with fans no matter if the actual scripts, visuals, direction etc. are any good. I would very, very much like to be completely wrong about all of this. but man, Asim Chaudhry, how perfect is that casting? I've only ever seen him on Taskmaster and that was enough to near jump out of my chair yelping holy poo poo yes

Good lord, the Death one made me emotional. That scene is almost word for word. and the Lucifer one is just really fun, Gwendoline seems to be relishing the chance to be a dick to Morpheus.

Christie looks and sounds real good as Lucifer, and it's funny because i pictured the Lucifer of the comics to be like a jokey surfer dude lmao, so it's a very different thing

Knowing that they based the earlier Lucifer off David Bowie, I always read it that way and Christie seems to have honed in on that at least in terms of how she is holding herself.

Apparently they did a costume test where they made him bone white, gave him poofy hair and all black eyes to match the comic design. But they decided it was too much and made him look like a cosplayer.

Can't help but feel reimagining Harry as a well-off classical violinist kind of diminishes the scene compared to the comic, even if the dialogue is otherwise verbatim. I wonder if they're gonna do the other death from that issue on screen. Not the comedian.

But not as raw as it was in the comic because they don't want to break people according to Gaiman

Well they should  e: if they balk at that I do have some concerns about what should be like 3 straight episodes of psychological horror and self mutilation that precede it. Sandman's no walk in the park. My Lovely Horse fucked around with this message at 07:38 on Jul 26, 2022 |

That and the serial killer convention seem a bit unnecessarily edgelordy in retrospect.

I don't see how you get around the serial killer convention. It's important to the plot. You don't have to do the whole thing, but how else do you get Gilbert and Rose back into Dream's attention?

They might just edit out some scenes. It's just, if I was explaining the series to someone and I'm like "A big deal in book 1 is a diner where everyone gets tortured to death" and "In book 2 they have a convention for serial killers!" I understand if they are like "pass", but later books don't really go too hard on that IIRC and the series as a whole stops being so violent.
