Dream- Morpheus: Johnny Depp
Typecasting be dammed. He's got the looks, he's got the talent, and he's proven that he's great at playing dark, fucked up, but very redeemable characters.Death: Ellen Page
Claire Danes is rumored to have already been cast to play the character on a Death centric movie, but I believe Ellen Page would be a better choice. She's young but seems wise beyond her years, she's insanely likable, and like Death seems to exude a certain sadness mixed with joyfulness. Plus she's hot. Stephanie Leonidas would also be greatDesire: Tilda Swinton
Gaiman has said that Desire was based on Bowie, and she looks very Bowiesque; plus she's already proved that she can play an androgynous character to perfection in the great, often forgotten movie OrlandoDespair: Kathy Bates
Yeah she kinda looks the part (much better looking of course), but any actress with enough make-up could look the part. What I believe would make her perfect for this part, is the fact that she's already played some very despair filled characters like Libby on Primary Colors and Annie on Misery.
Destiny: Alan Rickman
There's something oddly ominous about him ,which I believe would make him perfect for this part.Delirium: Juliette Lewis
Although there is no better fit for this part than annoying Uncle Fucker Kimmy Gibbler (she even has the perfect outfits)....
I believe Juliette Lewis is loopy enough to portray the great Lady Delirium
Destruction: Adam Baldwin
He would be great playing the happy giant.Rose Walker: Kristen Bell
As teen sleuth Veronica Mars, Bell proved she could play smart and resourceful very well. VM was also rebellious and disengaged, traits she shares with the multi colored hair Ms. Walker. The fact that she is the most beautiful actress working right now wouldn't hurt either. Fuck I miss Veronica MARS SO MUCH!Cain and Abel: Brad Dourif and Toby Jones
Dourif can play pissed off, deranged and menacing really well; and Toby Jones seems just like a really innocent guy.Fiddler's Green: Edward Herrmann
He's great as the cuddly elegant grandfather

Interesting though i do believe juliette lewis is a bit old for the role and the baldwin character is a no no. Then again i always believed that the Sandman should never be turned into a movie. Ive read the series a lot of times since they finished and I have to say each time i discover one new detail which has passed me before. The complexity of the work and its meaning cannot be narrowed down to 120 minutes for it would be a bloody shame.
What could really work though would be an animated series that it is an exact copy of the comix. Why dont you make a new entry discussing which story arc would be the best for set movie? Id love to hear your opinion.
