Matthew Vaughn phoned me up last April and said, 'I want to do it. Can you talk about what your contributions were to the creative process? Gaiman: Honestly, my biggest contribution was just going and getting Jane. You mentioned how you worked on the script with these guys. I was like, 'OK, it's my thing and its working and they've made it into a film and it's good and it's funny!' The scary bits are scary! Michelle Pfeiffer is absolutely fucking terrifying! Robert DeNiro is terrific! Ricky Gervais is hilarious!

A couple of months ago I got down to Pinewood and walked into the screening theatre there and they showed me half an hour of footage and I wound up with a grin on my face that you couldn't have removed with an axe. And then the day they started production, I flew back to America and then was off to Australia and bounced around the world and was just sort of very nervous, frankly, about what was going on back at Sky, in Iceland, and in Pinewood. Neil Gaiman: Well, it's incredibly thrillingly exciting and that's only because it's good! I worked with Matthew Vaughn and Jane Little on the script. Neil, talk to us about how exciting this must be for you to finally see 'Stardust' come to the big screen. Starring an all-star cast that includes the likes of Claire Danes, Michelle Pfeiffer, Robert DeNiro, Ricky Gervais and others, the feature film adaptation of ' Stardust' is directed by Matthew Vaughn ('Layer Cake') and early feedback has been entirely positive.Įarlier this year, CBR News sat down with Gaiman and Vess to see how things are progressing on the production and the story behind the making of 'Stardust.'
