Listen to a Clip From Neil Gaiman's THE SANDMAN Audible Series Featuring Kat Dennings as Death
The first episode of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman Audible series has been released today and we have a little clip to share with you to give you a little taste of what the series will be like. The clip features Thor: The Dark World actress Kat Dennings as the character Death.
The teaser is taken from the final issue of Preludes and Nocturnes, "The Sound of Her Wings," as Dream, who is played by James McAvoy, accompanies his sister on her rounds, seemingly gaining a new appreciation for her grim duties in the process.
The show also stars Riz Ahmed, Justin Vivian Bond, Arthur Darvill, Taron Egerton, William Hope, Josie Lawrence, Miriam Margolyes, Samantha Morton, Bebe Neuwirth, Andy Serkis, and Michael Sheen as Lucifer.
Here’s the synopsis that was shared:
When an occultist attempts to capture the physical embodiment of Death (Dennings) in a bargain for eternal life, he instead mistakenly traps Death’s younger brother Dream (McAvoy), another of the seven god-like siblings known as The Endless who oversee aspects of human existence, including Desire (Bond) and Despair (Margolyes), Destiny, Destruction and Delirium. After seventy years of imprisonment Dream finally escapes, embarking on a quest to reclaim his lost objects of power and rebuild his kingdom, the world of sleep and imagination called The Dreaming. So begins one of the most acclaimed and successful series of graphic novels ever written.
If you like what you hear and want to listen to the entire series, the first episode is now available on Audible. This series will be a direct adaptation of the comics.
