Tom Sturridge and Vivienne Acheampong talk The Sandman, Morpheus, and Lucienne

The Sandman stars Tom Sturridge and Vivienne Acheampong sat down with us to talk about their characters, Morpheus and Lucienne, how 100 years of imprisonment change the ruler of the Dreaming, and how she related to him.
The Sandman premieres on Netflix August 5.
Synopsis: There is another world that waits for all of us when we close our eyes and sleep - a place called the Dreaming, where The Sandman, Master of Dreams (Tom Sturridge), gives shape to all of our deepest fears and fantasies. But when Dream is unexpectedly captured and held prisoner for a century, his absence sets off a series of events that will change both the dreaming and waking worlds forever. To restore order, Dream must journey across different worlds and timelines to mend the mistakes he’s made during his vast existence, revisiting old friends and foes, and meeting new entities - both cosmic and human - along the way.
Based on the beloved award-winning DC comic series written by Neil Gaiman, THE SANDMAN is a rich, character-driven blend of myth and dark fantasy woven together over the course of ten epic chapters following Dream’s many adventures. Developed and executive produced by Gaiman, showrunner Allan Heinberg, and David S. Goyer, THE SANDMAN also stars Boyd Holbrook, Patton Oswalt, Vivienne Acheampong, Gwendoline Christie, Charles Dance, Jenna Coleman, David Thewlis, Stephen Fry, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Mason Alexander Park, Donna Preston, Vanesu Samunyai (formerly known as "Kyo Ra"), John Cameron Mitchell, Asim Chaudhry, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Joely Richardson, Niamh Walsh, Sandra James-Young and Razane Jammal.

They are the perfect actors for their roles. The relationship between Lord Morpheus and Lucienne also exists between Tom and Vivienne:)

[@jozen1986]

I agree! Lucienne is the secret boss of the dreaming.

[@rockmom62]

I love love the actress for lucianne. She did a great job.

[@Giovanna-rv3gx]

They have such a good dynamic irl, no wonder they nailed dream and lucienne's dynamic

4:42 Tom is like my thesis supervisor who hates recycling words. "Don't just say 'think'. Think about other options that describe your thinking process more precisely." lol....
