Adrien Brody as Dream/Morpheus/whateveryouwannacallhim
Cos like isn't he so dreamy?!?!?!?! [/stab valley girl] No really. Go lookit at The Sandman Chronicles. He's totally Dream/Morpheus/whateveryouwannacallhim. And I'm not casting Daniel/Morpheus cos Dream TOTALLY did NOT die... even tho Death took him.

Hugo Weaving as Destiny

Old Man. Chained. Inescapable. Serious.

Tilda Swinton as Desire
Androgyny. Cruelty. Animosity. Serious.

Cate Blanchett as Despair
Despair's talky and all internally and mopey...
Who can then in her second incarnation be played by Gina McKee
...or maybe not cos the Second Despair is an old fat woman (seriously, not trying to be mean but there is no other adequate description for her, besides, I'm fat and I like that word maybe we'll refer to her as 'squishy'?) who's always naked and participates in self-infliction like, a lot. So maybe? Cos Gina can do the whole 'I am ugly and unworthy in my gracefulness' thing and make you believe it even tho the physical representation sublimely contradicts said condition. So maybe she can be Titania Faerie Queen.
Therefore we have a true representation of Despair brought to you by none other than...
MAGDA Szubanski who you may know as Furlow from Til the Blood Runs Clear ep 11 of season 1 in Farscape.
Cos, she's funny and Despair is SO not funny.

Karl Urban as Destruction
Can't you see him with the ruddy complexion and the whole 'abdicating my position thus throwing the universe into chaos' thing going on? I mean c'mon! He was CUPID in Xena and then EOMER!!! He can totally do the reject thing.

Rachel Leigh Cook as Death
I know, I know, I casted her last time too. But doesn't she just LOOK like Death??? She's a pixie. A Gothy pixie who is the only one of the six capable of connecting with Dream.

Evan Rachel Wood as Delight
OR better yet and later as Delight changes...
Jessica Brooks as Delirium

She becomes random and wild. Jessica does the whole 'hiding a secret from you and I will NOT talk about it' thing regally.
They, of course would have to dye their hair red. Cos Delirium is after all, none other than Tori.
However ERW does look more like Tori than Jessica does... Lookit! It's the jawline.

...anyway, that's it...
...Neil said 'hi' by the way...
