: Stardust :

I just started reading Neil Gaiman's blog (yes, it's still slow here at the office) and I was excited to see that they are filming his book Stardust. That was the first of his books that I read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I went on to become addicted to his Sandman series, and I'm looking forward to collecting the Absolute Editions in hardcover later this year. Here's a photo from the upcoming movie:

Michelle Pfieffer in Stardust

It looks like a very strong cast, including Michelle Pfieffer, Robert de Niro, Claire Danes and Rupert Everett, although the lead actor and director are relatively unknown outside the UK. It's supposed to be released in 2007, so I'll have plenty of time to re-read the book again in anticipation, perhaps pick up a copy of the original illustrated version Gaiman did with artist Charles Vess.
