The link is dead. I hunted down one.

It would seem this is a major beta of the trailer and the CGI, which isn't even complete in these shots, so I wouldn't hang my opinion of things on it. Also don't hold the music against it, they do that all the god damn time. I've heard the soundtrack to Saving Private Ryan in a dozen other places. Instead focus on the FUCKING TRAIN OF AWESOME ACTORS HOLY SHIT HOW DID THEY GET A CAST LIKE THAT

How did they get DeNiro to do this, he NEVER does fantasy films.

Also, baby, it opens August 10th.

He's going to be there? If you go, take pictures!! I'm jealous.

I'll scan the image tomorrow and post it, and I'll get working on the letter. Maybe we can convince him to watch SKU, if he hasn't already.
I love Neil Gaiman so much.

I missed out. I repent. ::prostrates herself before the almighty Gio::

However, Paramount must've been ticked about that pseudo russian trailer, as the official site is now live (yeah, I read Neil's blog everyday...such a loser ). The music is lovely, and the gallery has some really great shots. No official trailer though.


...I REALLY want to make Yvaine's silvery dress now. It's exactly how I pictured it too. Maybe that'll be my first foray back into cosplay. Looks like it could be pretty simple. And supposedly I look somewhat like Claire Daines. Oo;;;

I'm going to have to reread Stardust now, because... *toes ground, ashamed* I don't remember exactly what happens.

I haven't had the oportunity to read stardust -.-

That trailer looks so cool, but it seems like they've added a bit more action to the book. I think it's a good choice for a movie, though.

My friend let me borrow one of her Sandman comics and it did take me a while to get to finish it. Reading it though was sublime, I was actually more enchanted with the process of reading it and figuring out where the story was going to go.


Stardust looks amazing.

just for curiosity, which one did you borrowed?

I think I've been a Gaiman fan longer than I've been an anime fan...starting from Sandman.  I haven't read Stardust yet, so that's great for me!  I've been needing a book since Danielewski's latest turned into a dud...

I've seen the trailer and I'm a little worried.  That's not Claire Danes is it?  Hate her.

As for DeNiro eschewing fantasy...didn't you see Brazil?

I don't mind Claire Danes as such. Sienna Miller on the other hand.... I have a need to quell my murderous rage. I just don't like her.

Since I pretty much opted out of poular culture a couple of years ago, I barely even know who Sienna Miller is.  Why, is she in the movie?

My main complaint against Claire Danes is that she butchered Juliet.  Granted, that's kind of obligatory, but that doesn't excuse it.  It's only in the last few months that I've been able to forgive Leonardo DiCaprio for the axe-job he did on Romeo, but he was beautiful in The Departed, so...

Anyway, back on topic, has anybody here seen the Neverwhere mini-series?  If not, you should check it out, heinous production values and all.

EDIT: Grammar.

Wow. That's amazing. I've always wanted to get into making dolls, although they freak me out.

Wow, that's so gorgeous beyond belief.

All this talk has made me curious. So if I want to get familiar with his work, where should I start first? Any recommendations? I've heard so much about Sandman. Should I start buying them?

Yes.

Or you might actually check the local library for them first, Asfalolh found a couple of his that way. The first one...Preludes & Nocturnes, I think? The first one I read though was Fables & Reflections, which got me hooked pretty thoroughly.

And I'm with Mocha on this one, dolls are creepy, fortunately that looks like an action figure to me.

I don't rely on our local libraries. And if it is as good as I hear it is then I'd be happy to pay for it.
I'll start with "Preludes & Nocturnes" then.

If I should get hooked on this, I'll be totally broke.

I cannot recomend Sandman to other people enough. Buy it if you can, but read the first volume till the end even if you don't feel it is not convincing you, is at the latest chapters when Gaiman stops imitating the style of Alan Moore Swamp thing and finds his voice which is what makes Sandman so alluring.

I loved the movie Stardust. For the rest of you Neil Gaiman fans...are you all aware that there is a stop motion animated film being made for his children's book Coraline? There is...I beleive it should release next year if I am not mistaken. And there is a great posibility that there will be a Death movie.
