We’ve got to admit we were surprised when we saw director Matthew Vaughn’s follow-up to his gritty Daniel Craig thriller Layer Cake. We weren’t expecting Stardust, a big-budget romantic fantasy adventure based on a Neil Gaiman book. The film stars Claire Danes, Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sienna Miller, Ricky Gervais, and winning newcomer Charlie Cox, who features in our exclusive clip.
The hard-to-summarise story involves Cox’s character setting off to find a fallen star that’s landed on Earth, and discovers it in the immortal, living and breathing form of Danes. If you fancy seeing Stardust for free, look out for details of advance screenings in the new issue of heat, out tomorrow. Oh, and for the record, the film’s great.
