The Pirates of the Caribbean meet Neil Gaiman

The trailer for Stardust is here! Now it has been quite a few years since I read (and loved) the book so I will be the first to admit my memory ain’t what it used to be (if ever it was), but I had to go back to my Charles Vess illustrated copy to find the pirate ship action that so dominates the trailer. And yes it is kinda there, but only as a very tiny part of the book. Of course, trailers are often notoriously off (Bridge to Terabithia, anyone?) so I’m still confident that the movie is going to be on par with Gaiman’s book. Certainly, he’s been very enthusiastic about it on his blog. I’m not sure when it is coming out, but I’m definitely looking forward to it!
