Couldn't find the point of this article, like others have claimed. But I did find it interesting they messed with the aspect ratio in The Sandman. I watched the trailer and it's incredibly obvious. A weird creative choice if you ask me. It would annoy me so much to watch that. Reminds me of my dad. Going to his house and seeing his nice large 16:9 TV showing stretched 4:3 content. And me being too polite to tell him that he's being uncivilized.
It's not just changes in aspect ratio (i.e. the shape of the frame). In Sandman, they compress the actual image, so everything looks stretched vertically.
