I'm just happy to remember the little Angela cameo that was in the Spawn movie. I had no idea Neil was involved with her.

It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.
Neil has no personal control of Sandman, but David Goyer insisted he be involved from a creative standpoint for this version when it shifted from movie to TV show. Every previous version merely just asked for his blessing, which he was very hesitant to give since in his words he "wanted to reserve the right to tell people not to watch a bad sandman if one happened"

I do think he gets a bigger cut of Sandman stuff profit wise than he used to though since he renegotiated his contract with DC when he wrote Overture for the 25th Anniversary.

Yeah, he's mentioned in interviews and social media that DC has basically all the rights but they have a good working relationship where in return for DC giving him a decent cut and not loving around with his baby Neil Gaiman periodically writes something new that makes DC a pile of money.

if Tormund from GoT isn't cast as Destruction, that'd be a goddamn shame. He's perfect. But we won't see him for ages (if we get more than the second season)

For Destiny, someone suggested Peter Capaldi and I'm like "gently caress" and will be sad when it is inevitably not him.

and even with Desire, Mason was an established actor who was in the middle of filming Cowboy Bebop for Netflix, and had their agent reach out through the correct channels. All Mason asked Neil was "have you cast Desire yet, and who is your casting director" essentially.

A lot of young women are like "pick me" for Delirium without ever having a credit to their name, or a proper agent and Neil, while being as nice as he can be, has to shut that down.

Deceitful and black-hearted, perhaps we are. But we would never go against the Code. Well, perhaps for good reasons. But mostly never.

Yeah he goes into this over on Tumblr

(And as a reminder to everyone out there who wants to act, “I’m a lot like Delirium in real life” is not the hard-sell casting slam dunk many of you seem to think it is. If you’re going to be in Sandman you need to be an actor, you need to have credits, we need to know not only that you’re brilliant but that you’re also reliable, and that you know how to act for TV – can you do the same scene two dozen times, and still say the lines every time as if this is the first time you’ve ever said them? Can you be funny and break people’s hearts at the same time?)

Yeah, I doubt they're gonna find someone better than Kristen Schaal for Delirium, even though she doesn't look the part now (and perhaps never did). She's excellent casting in the radio version.

Delirium, maybe moreso than the other Endless, should be cast by committee. I agree Schaal might not be a perfect "fit" for the whole show, but some scenes with her as someone's manifestation of Delirium would be great.

Subtle, but I dig it.

Netflix Delirium is gonna be a thing to behold. Her whole image is that she's grimy and dishevelled. I'm expecting a clean-cut K-Pop girl with a Harley Quinn dye job.

do this but make it much more subtle, have the character morph from one actor to a different one slowly, minute to minute
e: not a consistent speed either!

Are there any twin or triplet actors that would have the right look? That actually would be a cool idea.

Rachel and Amanda Pace, maybe? They're early 20s, identical and I think they could pull off the look.

I like all these ideas for Delirium, and agree her look should be wildly inconsistent. The only thing I want to see is one of her living fish balloons. Probably named Prince or something. And Barnabas!

I know it was suggested but I really like the idea of Delirium being kinda like signal noise, for the lack of better term, barely keeping one form together and slipping in and out.

It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.
I watched Everything Everywhere All At Once and I think Stephanie Hsu would be a really fun out-of-the-box casting for Delirium. She basically does a Delirium-Esq change of look and style in that movie, so that might be why I thought of it, but it's been on my mind ever since I watched it.

On the topic of the audio series, I think Miriam Margolyes as Despair is one of the MVPs especially in the recent act when it shows her reacting to Delirium asking her to find Destruction. Incredible stuff.

Miriam Margolyes is a GOAT tier character actor, but the accent she's using in the radio stuff isn't great.

Glad she's finally got something to do though.

(Man I don't like their recast Corinthian, bring back Riz Ahmed!)

Riz came back for Act III! (unless you are referring to Boyd in the show. I think he's perfect. Both are great choices)

Nah, I was talking the Dirk Maggs production.

If that's Ahmed, he's either making the performance sound different here or I need to get my ears checked, he sounds completely different.

They should just do for Delirium what they did in the comic. Give her a different hairstyle each episode, and have her cycle through whichever one she had at the time when she recounts the events back to Destruction.
