hey, I thought the original book was fairly dull, so maybe a bit of grittiness will improve the story. One "Fuck!" definitely isn't grittiness enough for an entire book. I want some oral sex too - good Gaiman books usually have some oral sex in them. Anyway, reading recent entries in Gaiman's blog it looks like he has Gaiman's support. If he didn't he wouldn't be making it - Gaiman and Vess own all copyright for this story. This message has been edited.

hmmm
ya know, if it was just Stardust, i honestly wouldn't care. since i don't like it that much, i can't judge the changes but i know X-Men, so i'm assuming it'll be bad based on what he's doing to X-Men... |

Yes, I saw that. I wonder if Neil was maybe doing a bit of damage control there. |

Mmm... I hope he delivers a quick slap-upside the head before he lets Vaughn speak about it again...
My faith in the man will be shattered if the kind of things Vaughn is talking about come to pass. Making it modern day would kinda kill the entire real-world dynamic... ------------------------------ You are a Leprechaun. I'm not even sure what you are. Whiskey-soaked reports from your baffling Isle of Ire raise more questions than they answer. Are you a dwarf? Where's your pickax? If you're an elf, why don't you cobble? You'd think with all your gold, you could invest in some land, perhaps a title, and improve your station. Instead, you hide it in meteorologically-determined locations. You're getting killed on inflation, little friend! |

Gritty should not be what Stardust is-it's a gorgeous fairy tale.

Variety reported today what all of us already know -- that Matthew Vaughn will be directing Stardust. I guess now it's official.
I harbor hope for this movie, despite Vaughn's comments, but most of that is because Neil seems to have confidence in Vaughn (the same way he has confidence in Henry Sellick with the Coraline film). I wish he Vaugh was still making X-3 as opposed to Brett Ratner. ____________________________________________________________________ "Patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel.

Just read on the blog that they're going to start shooting in April! APRIL? I can't believe it's happening so fast... I thought it'd take longer. If it shoots in April, when will it be released? The year after? When will we know the cast?
Very exciting, I can't wait. ____________________________________________________________________ "Patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel.

It's not illustrated like a comic book at all. There is a full piece of artwork on one side of the page and prose on the opposite. I wouldn't consider it a comic book at all but more like a picture book for adults. ~*~*~*~*~ "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience.

Just read Neil's Journal and the AICN link: Claire Danes is going to be Yvaine! This is GREAT news, in my opinion. It seems like Claire Danes and Neil have a great respect for each other. She did the afterword to one of the Death comics, did a voice in Princess Mononoke, and I always felt like he was describing her as Lady Door in Neverwhere (fingers crossed on the big-budget adaptation/remake). Umm, Sienna Miller as Victoria? Perfect. Michelle Pfeiffer as Lamia. Wicked. Robert Deniro as Captain Shakespeare? Hell, yeah!
I was excited before, but the journal entry and the AICN story have me THRILLED! ____________________________________________________________________ "Patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel.

I liked the looks of the guy they've cast as Tristan. In the pic on Neil's blog, he looked VERY Tristan-ish! Young and awkward and callow ... but not so much of a mess that no one could fall for him.

I agree. I'm very happy they cast him, even though no one seems to know who he is. But he *looks* perfect

The worrying thing is, last time anyone tried to do a 'modern fairy tale' we were lumbered with 'The 10th Kingdom.' *shudder* The paranoid are simply the people with all the facts. |

"Modern and grittier" doesn't mean Sin City, necessarily. It may just mean no Muppets. Which Stardust definitely doesn't need.

~ You are an Accomptant. You keep track of the King's accounts, which is a fairly simplish job: his current holdings is always A LOT, and his expected revenue is always MORE. 'Sgood ta be da King. As long as there isn't a peasant uprising, you're likely to keep your head. Also, you're the only one in the office who knows how to use an abbacus. (Or multiply.) (Or add.) I prefer to live in a country that's small, and old, and where no one would ever have the NERVE to wear a cape in public, whether they could leap tall buildings in a single bound or not. |
