‘The Sandman’: Audition Tape For Dream Surfaces Online

Dear Clickbait news sites,

Adam Greene’s Dream audition tape is not “leaked.’ He literally posted it publicly to Twitter. He was replicating an actual leaked audition recording of Oliver Farnworth. Adam Greene was not officially auditioning. He merely duplicated an actual leaked Sandman audition tape and posted it publicly as a “Hail Mary” attempt to audition for the role. Seriously, you copied and pasted his tweet in your articles and in the Tweet he says he’s recreating what was in the leaked Oliver Farnworth audition. Again, Adam Greene’s audition is NOT leaked. He posted it publicly after he saw an actual leaked audition. Can’t you do two seconds of research on your own clickbait for once?

I personally hope Oliver Farnworth gets the role.

In my personal opinion, Adam Greene is does NOT feel right… at all. He delivers his lines like an over caffeinated Liam Neeson from Taken. He sounds he’s about to lead an army on a countryside slaughter of insurgents. I don’t think he understands what The Sandman is. He’s growling every line like he thought he was auditioning for a Vlad the Impaler Bio pic. Oliver Farnworth, on the other hand, nailed it.

My opinion of the two Morpheus auditions that have circulated so far:

Oliver Farnworth’s attempt at Morpheus (Now taken down. You’re out of luck if you never saw this one.) = He really gets the character. He knows how to emote and express himself with his facial features. He emanates hurt at seeing his kingdom in disrepair. You can even sense a connection between him and Lucien. He feels genuine. The facial expressions even remind me of the comic panels. My heart is demanding he get the Morpheus role. He feels right.

Adam Greene’s attempt at Morpheus (Publicly accessible on his Twitter.) = Just no. I feel Adam Greene doesn’t really understand this character. If he thinks Morpheus growls all of his lines in angry exclamations there’s going to be a serious problem. He sounds like a Scottish Lord who just found out the English are hosting a barbecue in his front garden. Why is he growling?! His emotions feel forced and don’t quite match what the scene is supposed to be. He feels like he should have a bloodied sword in his hand. Maybe he should have glanced at the comics first or at least the wikia… It’s so snarly and over-the-top that it’s almost like watching the joke bit of if “Ahrnold” was cast as Morpheus. (“Sweet dreams Mother f–ker!”) It’s fun to watch just for how wrong it is. “I am DREEEAM! of The ENDLESS!!!”

Looks like Gaiman is intent on ruining another of his properties. Why can’t he just write original stories or characters if he wants to get into TV and movies.
