Matthew Vaughn’s ‘Stardust’
Fantasy movies are some of the most creative and most watched movies out there. And there is no slack of them either. Always we are seeing more and more of this genre of movies and each one being more unique then the next. ‘Stardust’ is another one of those unique movies that we can look forward to seeing in theatres next month.
‘Stardust’ will have an all-star cast of Claire Danes, Charlie Cox, Michelle Pfeiffer, Robert De Niro, Sienna Miller, and Ricky Gervais. The movie, which is set to come out August 10th, is directed by Matthew Vaughn and is rated PG-13.
The movie is about a charmingly naïve boy from the English village of Wall who travels to a magical, mythical world in search of the falling star that will help him win the heart of his true love. When dashing Tristran Thorn (Cox) promises the fairest girl in the village, Victoria (Miller), that he will prove his love by bestowing her with a genuine falling star, his daring mission sends him on an adventure.
In order to find the fallen star, Tristran will have to ascend the wall and venture deep into the forbidden heart of the fantastical realm known as Stormhold. Upon discovering that the meteorite he sought was in fact a beautiful girl named Yvaine (Danes), who has stumbled though space and is now being pursued by the King of Stormhold’s (Peter O’Toole) sons (who long to use her cosmic powers to lay claim to the throne), Tristran vows to protect the otherworldly visitor at all costs.
But the King’s sons aren’t the only ones in search of the luminous Yvaine; fearsome witch Lamia (Pfeiffer) has become convinced that the young girl’s power can help her to achieve eternal youth and beauty. As Tristran makes his way through Stormhold on a mission to bring the star back to Wall, he will encounter a series of spectacular characters and creatures that will lead him to a fate he never imagined.
