VIDEO : 'Sandman' Writer Neil Gaiman Reacts to Joseph Gordon-Levitt Leaving Project

The live-action version of Neil Gaiman?s 'The Sandman' comics has had a long and rocky road, starting its life as TV series until development on that series stalled. It was then reborn as a movie, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt attached as director and originally rumored to star in it as well. The movie was dealt a heavy blow, however, when Gordon-Levitt announced yesterday that he was dropping out of the project, citing creative differences with New Line Studios.
