The unimaginable has occured!!!!!
Dave McKean (the artist whom I love, i.e. Sandman covers) Is making a film! It's called MirrorMask.
A source at Jim Henson Pictures tells us that "Mirror Mask" will be directed by McKean from a script by Gaiman. Both men developed the story.
McKean has prior experience directing short films including "The Week Before and N[eon]". His previous works are said to be reminiscent of his multi-media Sandman covers, with live action footage accented by various forms of animation.
The story idea grew out of conversations about a possible sequel to Henson's 1986 feature "Labyrinth".
Pre-production is due to beginning in February with principal photography beginning some time in the Spring. The feature is expected to go direct to video.
I must find this Film!!!!!!
