and the adaptation transitioned into a TV show co-produced by Netflix and Warner Bros., a worldwide search was on to find the perfect Morpheus.
That process was elongated even further by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which gave Netflix and Warner Bros. extra time to cast their protagonist. Yet the whole time, Gaiman felt extremely confident in one of the very first tryouts he had seen: Two-time Tony nomineeTom Sturridge as Morpheus in 'The Sandman.'"Having watched all those other auditions, we were able to go to Netflix and say, 'it's Tom,'" Gaiman says. "We know it's Tom.
"It was definitely a baptism-by-fire to be introduced to the people I was going to spend nine months with naked, climbing into a glass box — which, because of the way it's built, couldn't be broken apart easily. I would genuinely sit in it for hours at a time, which was very COVID safe!" Sturridge says with a laugh."I cared very much about the physicality and image of Morpheus," he says.
"Morpheus' dialogue is incredibly specific," Gaiman says. "It was probably the thing I was most obsessive about. Someone would have written a fabulous script, [showrunner] Allan Heinberg would have rewritten a fabulous script, and I would have seen it at every iteration, but there would always be a point at the end where I would still be noodling on the Morpheus dialogue: Making sure the words were right, that the rhythms were right.
