Joseph Gordon-Levitt has ditched his Sandman project at New Line due to disagreement with the studio.
The announcement came a day after New Line confirmed that The Conjuring 2 writer Eric Heisserer had come on board. The Sandman had been set up at Warner Bros. in 2013 with Gordon-Levitt coming aboard to produce with “The Dark Knight” screenwriter David Goyer for an adaptation of the DC Comics title.
Gordon-Levitt said Saturday that the disagrements emerged after Warner subsidiary New Line took over the project.
He posted the statement on his Facebook page Saturday:
“So, as you might know if you like to follow these sorts of things, a while back, David Goyer and I made a producing deal with Warner Brothers to develop a movie adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s SANDMAN,” Gordon-Levitt wrote. “Neil himself came on as an executive producer, we hired the excellent screenwriter, Jack Thorne, and we started in on the ambitious task of adapting one of the most beloved and boundary-pushing titles in the world of comics. I was pleased with the progress we were making, even though we still had quite a ways to go.
