That's a great storyline, and would be an excellent movie. Unfortunately, if they ever actually do a Sandman movie, it'll likely be based on Preludes and Nocturnes, which I don't think is nearly as good. Yes, the release/return of Sandman to the world is important, but I don't think it would be a great movie.Rising Stars and Midnight Nation would both be really great in film form. Both would cost quite a bit of money, but would be amazingly cool. Rising Stars is a supers comic about a group of 113 children affected by a one-time flash, and the way the world reacts to them. Midnight Nation is about a guy who gets his soul stolen, and has to walk across the US on the side of the lost people, to fight Satan to get his soul back.I've heard that Preacher is coming out as a movie; hopefully they do a good job with it. I've only read four of the trade paperbacks, but most of what I've read, I really enjoyed. I'm wondering how they'll condense the whole storyline into one movie, though. It's a fairly long series.Song of Ice and Fire would be amazing as a movie, but nearly impossible. It'd be considerably harder than LotR, which is the only thing I can really compare it to in scope. They'd have to cut so much (both for audiences and length) that it wouldn't end up anything like Martin's version of the story. And that'd be such a shame that I'm almost glad it isn't going to happen.I'm a big fan of Jim Butcher's 'Dresden Files' books, if anybody's familiar with them. Those would be really good movies, too. Lots of action, excellent characters, and some fun magic stuff goin' on.</blockquote>
