Why? I think Sandman is much better suited for an animated film than a live action one.
That just feels kinda pointless to me. I mean, I've always felt the primary purpose of an adaptation should be to bring the story to a new audience. Movies are more popular that comics, novels, and video games combined, afterall. So I think that if you make an adaptation that's not gonna appeal to the average filmgoer, and get people to watch it who have never even heard of Sandman, then why do it at all?
An anime (or even American animation) Sandman is going to appeal to the exact same crowd of people that the book appeals to. Even if it gets a wide release in theaters, people who see the trailers are just gonna think of it as some cartoon.
