If you ever find yourself wondering whatever happened to horror icon Dario Argento, wonder no more: he's been trying to make a movie adaptation of The Sandman (not the Gaiman one), the 19th Century German monster who stole the eyes of sleep-deprived children to feed to his own kids. On the moon. Obviously.

The weirdest part of the entire project - which was funded on IndieGogo successfully - is that Iggy Pop - 70-year-old punk legend and fancier of see-through plastic trousers is playing the villain. Everything here suggests everyone involved has lost their mind.

Will It Work?

Probably not, since it's a musician wanting to be an actor and that rarely works, but then again it's Dario Argento, so that might well be the whole point.
