Tom Sturridge

Sandman creator Neil Gaiman had to tell the show's star to stop doing 'the Batman voice' when he first began playing the show's lead role.

His turnaround in opinion comes down to the quality of this version, and how it matches his original stories. Showrunner Allen Heinberg revealed taht Sturridge even initially asked whether his voice would be altered in post-production. "He wasn't aware he was doing it," Gaiman told IGN. "He wasn't doing it as Batman. He was just trying to find something for a Morpheus voice that was more talking in white on a black background, I think.

The Sandman actor Tom Sturridge has spoken about his "embarrassing" naked scene in episode 1 of the Netflix series.

"One of the things about Morpheus is: that situation, that century of imprisonment is the most vulnerable he's been in, in his existence. "I was in that sphere, and they couldn't open it, because it took too long. "It was embarrassing.

Creators Neil Gaiman and Allan Heinberg spoke to Express.co.uk and other press about the casting. "He was completely comfortable with the formality and the archaism of the lines and let them be what they were and as Allan says, they sound utterly natural." The show's bosses have praised the star for his stellar performance. "He feels the hopes and dreams and nightmares of every creature all the time and so there is a depth of feeling you actually see in every frame. "And what Tom understood and brought it from the very beginning is that is only sort of half true.

After 33 years, The Sandman finally hit screens this Friday, with Netflix's much-anticipated adaptation of Neil Gaiman's seminal comic book saga debuting ...

With this inaugural season adapting the first two graphic novels out of a collection of 10, there’s enough material to keep the series going until season five. Thankfully, after literally decades of hype, The Sandman is proving not to disappoint as audiences are loving it. As The Sandman is far from your typical comic book show — it’s not a “hero punches villain until the world is saved” kind of tale — there’s a lot to cover, but the British actor proves why he was cast as the Prince of Stories by recapping the whole journey with aplomb.

The duo followed the timely tradition of debuting their romance at Wimbledon.

Since then, she has presented Netflix’s Next In Fashion and continues to be an influential figure in the fashion world. Meanwhile, Sturridge and Chung were also pictured enjoying Glastonbury 2022 together, with fans spotting them as they made their way around the muddy field.

"It's a glass sphere and people would see if there's a blanket in there." And although it was a baptism of fire, and was incredibly ridiculous, I felt like I could take anything on from then." He continues, "I made the film of it in my head as I was reading it.

Tom Sturridge & Vivienne Acheampong discuss the responsibility of taking on The Sandman, connecting to their characters, & the impressive set pieces.

And then, that responsibility that I felt I had to the fans’ dreams of Morpheus was some small comparison to the responsibility that Morpheus has for the dreams of the universe. One of the things that was terrifying about approaching this was, how do you embody The Endless? I think one of the things that brings you into a safe space is the concept that they’re family, and we all understand family. She allows him to make that mistake, and I think she appreciates when he does recognize that . . . I wanted it to be true to the film that I’d made in my head, and to be true to the film that Neil had made in his head. I loved doing the scenes with my siblings, so I would say Desire. Mason [Alexander Park] and I only had one day together because we had one big scene together, and I would love to do me. I wanted to take a lot of the stuff, but I couldn’t. I didn’t. I asked props for some stuff, and they were just like, “We can’t.” I definitely wanted the compass. But what was amazing about that was that, to take on something that is so beloved, you really want to have confidence in the people who are making the decision, that they’ve had the opportunity to really think about it, and specifically it’s creator, Neil Gaiman. It definitely allayed some of the ocean of fear I had inside me, knowing that he had had a significant amount of time to ponder, and that he made this decision. STURRIDGE: It is insane, but as Vivienne said, what was so wonderful was the fact that that throne room existed. Especially with the library, what was that like to be in? I think what’s so important about this story is that it’s about dreams, which is the one thing that unifies so many different kinds of people, as in all of us. You’ve got all of the things in order to make the character come to life and come from a place of truth. There are people who perceive him in entirely different ways, as Morpheus, as the King of Dreams, as the Prince of Stories, as the Oneiromancer, as Kai'ckul, and I think that there’s something beautiful about that.
