First still from Neil Gaiman's Stardust

The first still from the film adaptation of the Neil Gaiman's Stardust is online, and it looks cool. If you haven't read Gaiman's novel (in prose or graphic form) you should pick it up. It is a wonderful fairy tale in the grand British tradition.

Anna and I went to see a wonderful stage production of the novel in Chicago last year. It was very low key, but you could really see how Stardust could be made into an amazing fantasy movie.

With a marvelous cast that includes Robert DeNiro, Peter O'Toole, Claire Danes, and Michelle Pfeiffer (just to name a few) it looks like the movie is going to join my short list of great fantasy films.
