Not new to lj, but I love Stardust and I finally have the dvd. So, I figured I'd make some plain icons of my favourite character from the film- The fearsome Captain Shakespeare! Why should Tristan, Lamia and Yvaine have all the fun? Even Septimus!

So here are some icons for your viewing pleasure, I'm not too crash hot at making icons, but I figured they're pretty decent for a first try. You will find them here, for now the password is bubblebutt. Let me know what you think in the comments here!

P.S: It would be nice if you credited self_compressed, if you are going to use these icons :)

Since the magazine has since gone out of business I typed out an article recently from the magazine (an interview with the director Matthew Vaughn) I may type out the Charlie Cox interview from the same issue if someday soon I gain my second wind. (You may have seen this on the IMDB MB) But if you haven't here it is, me fellow Stardust fans!

Faerie Tale
by
Joe Nazzaro
"A philosopher once asked, 'Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at the stars because we're human?' " With that existential question (voiced by Sir Ian McKellan) begins the big-screen fantasy Stardust. Based on the illustrated novel by Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess, it's the story of lovesick Tristan Thorn (Charlie Cox), who enters the realm of Faerie to retrieve a falling star, only to discover that the star is question has now taken human form (Claire Danes).


What Tristan (Tristran in the original book) doesn't realize is that he isn't the only party seeking the heavenly jewel. There's also a trio of witch queens led by the evil Lamia (Michelle Pfieffer), who are hoping to restore their youth and beauty. And then there are the would-be rulers of an ancient kingdom who are in search of the talisman that will settle their ancient birthright.


The architect behind Stardust is Matthew Vaughn, director of the 2004 sleeper Layer Cake (which edged a certain actor named Daniel Craig a bit closer to James Bond superstardom) and producer of Guy Ritchie's cult gangster flicks Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. As on Layer Cake , Vaughn is acting as director and producer, and he co-wrote the screenplay with Jane Goldman. So capturing the unique tone of Gaiman and Vess' novel has pretty much fallen squarely on his shoulders? "Unique tone?" reflects Vaughn. "We've definitely capture and unique tone in this movie, because everyone who sees it says, 'Wow, what the hell was that?'

Hi All,
I’m new to LJ, as you may well have guessed! I (quite embarrassedly) joined the LJ community in the hope of finding an active Stardust community.

I loved the book, it was a real olde-worlde adventure, so plainly written, but done so very well. I remember feeling a connection with the characters almost instantly, and Trist(r)an reminds me so much of myself in some ways.

I only found out about the movie recently, and have since watched it several times, never getting bored of it on each running. In fact I think I love it more each time I see it! Something that is usually strange for me (I bore of things very easily!). I loved the way that the characters were brought to live, and expanded upon so much from the book. Claire Danes brought Yvaine to life! (and need I say anything about Shakespeare? Wonderful!)

Anyway, the point, really, of this post.

My biggest regret, was not knowing much about stardust whilst the hype was still high! (I hate being late on the band-wagon!) I want to see who would be willing to help me re-awaken the fan community for Stardust, both book and film. I feel that this magical world still has so much more to give us, in the form of even more fan fiction, discussion, art and more! I would love to bring the magic back to life!

However, I know that I can’t just do it alone  I'm more than happy to arrange things, do websites, create forums, promote and advertise the community, and find new ways of keeping the Stardust universe alive. But I need your help! So really initially, I want to know if there is anyone who wants to help me? And if any of you think this is a good idea! Any help would be greatly appreciated, and any amount of time given, no matter how little would go miles!

Anyway, I’ll leave it to you, I’ll keep posting in here as often as I can. I have in mind a little story I’d like to write, and I’ll see how it goes.
Hope to hear from you all!
