Okay... Now You Can See The Real STARDUST Trailer! In Glorious Quicktime HD!
Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
I really didn’t mean to ruffle any feathers when I ran that link last week to the Russian ShoWest footage that showed up online in Postage-Stamp-O-Rama. Color me impatient because I think STARDUST has a chance at being something really special and fun when it’s released this summer.
Now we can finally get our first great look at footage from the film, and it’s looking good to me. Fans of EXTRAS have got to love the scene where Gervais and De Niro finally get to face off in the film. There’s a lot going on here, and this trailer still just scratches the surface of what we can expect from the finished film.
Check this out:
Here's the trailer for "Stardust," starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Robert De Niro and Clare Danes, based on the novel by Neil Gaiman. It's available in Windows Media and HD QuickTime.

Looks as good as I had hoped it would be.
-
Can't even mention how much I'm looking forward to this one. Also Michelle is still looking damn yummy.
-
but I do like how they have X3 reverse aged her for part of the movie
-
I'm on the fence...
-
I don't remember half of that stuff in the trailer being in the book. It's been a few years since I read the book, and my memory is already really shitty, but...whatever. It also looks more light-hearted than I thought it was going to be. I pictured certain things, like the three witches and king's castle on top of the mountain being really dark and foreboding. A couple of the shots of the witches in the trailer conjured up images of 'Hocus Pocus', that laugh-a-minute Halloween blockbuster from about fifteen years ago. *shudder* Anyway, I will still see this opening night. It looks like alot of fun.
-
It's true!
-
Theyll be lucky to make back the catering budget. Baron Munchausen anyone?
-
He does all that for a girl and she doesn't even bother to stop him... Am I missing something here? I haven't read the book...
-
This kind of looks like it was made for the Sci Fi Channel.
-
finally to see a Neil Gaiman adaptation with a big budget. Mirrormask was cool, but low key. I don't know about the de-aging, but Ms. Pfeiffer hasn't looked this hot in years.

Why is it only Peter Jackson can do fantasy that doesnt
by judge dredds dirty undies
look really fucking stupid and gay. This looks like a TV movie. Who knows maybe its a great film, I bet it will bomb big time though. The fantasy genre is gonna be dead again very soon.
-
Are you nuts? Pfeiffer is still amazingly hot. Considering the HD, I think she's held up extremely well. Emminently do-able.
-
take it not as a lack of disrespect,
master Gilliams,i bow before yer talents...but even for an enjoyer of surrealism as miself...This film looks more concise and marketable.it has some great actors in funlooking roles.Great settings.Looks like it could be droolabley good. -
Huh? Who's all excited? Seriously though, doesn't look all that great. It seems to be a film that doesn't take its setting very seriously at all, but fully expects the audience to.
-
Who saw the eyeballs in a jar and thought it was a horrible example of CG?
I loved the book, and really want this to be an excellent movie, but I hope that was an example of unfinished effects. -
you're an idiot. let's face the facts -- peter jackson's fantasy was very gay. remember frodo and sam? they were very stupid and gay.
-
Shut up, you violence-seeking retard. Go wank it to 300.
-
It just seems like something you'd see an ad for on the Sci-Fi channel.
-
he had that same over-emotional tone in king kong too.and a hacky heavyhandedness and misplaced tacky gore-horror in films that are supposed to be dramas.many good things about LOTR, but i wish somebody could have reined him in a bit.
-
X3 de-aging thing due to the fact that she must be getting on a bit in real life and looks ancient as a witch in this this with makeup and then young stil without blah blah blah blah . . .my jokes just dont seem to work. Sorry all you Pfeiffer lovers who got upset by my previous comment.Thanks for the defence Flip63Hole.To be honest, she's never really done it for me but I can see why she lights alot of peoples candles
-
from a few days ago.
-
But thanks for offering.
-
having seen the trailer again and again, i like it a lot but the lighting is a bit too...smooth? it needs more atmosphere/dust/grime or something.and the special effects look a bit camembert yep.

one of those trailers the seems to show the whole movie
by santiagoatez
Kind of like that 8 minute Kingdom of Heaven trailer that was basically a summary from start to finish.
-
As someone who's read the book I can tell you that there's a whole lot story you're not getting in this first trailer. Also for you talkbackers who are expecting LotR with this movie; this isn't Lord of the Rings. Just like how Star Wars isn't The Last Starfighter. If every genre movie stuck to the same type of genre rules and such movies would get boring awfully fast.
-
deniro, o'toole and gervais all wearing ridiculous costumes? this movie looks so bizarre.
-
well i mean i can, since i have to...but seriously...i'm rather looking forward to this.
-
and remember really liking it. But it's been a while and some of the details are hazy. I remember one of the bad guys being followed around by the ghosts of his brothers, but there's nothing like that in the trailer. Did I dream that?
-
better locations at least. I guess I'm just not getting it.
-
the book was a very long journey for the protagonists and in the movie, everything's been truncated by a fair bit. also notice the absence of guards at the hole in the wall. the king's sons all became spirits rather than ghosts and they observed the surviving brother till the end. the captain of the sky ship also does not fight anyone in the book. so yeah, the book and movie will be quite different from one another but essentially, the same story is told. then again, the same story if told repeatedly in every other genre in various forms. boy meets girl, problem arises, odds are overcome, boy gets girl. add some aliens in there and you have any number of sci-fi movies. add some cops and robbers in there and you have a gang/crime/mob movie. add some swords and sorcerers and you have a fantasy. etc., etc.
-
Not a dream that was definately in the book and I believe that concept is also in the movie.
-
In conclusion this movie looks BADASS. Book was better though.

-
..based on Neverwhere, but this will do, I suppose.
-
American Gods, but that would require a looooong movie. Jason Staham as Sparrow, Brian Cox as Wednesday, etc., etc.
-
I'm expecting a convincing look instead of something that looks as laughable as Stardust does.
-
Hollywood should remake Masters Of The Universe and cast Peter O'Toole as Skeletor.
-
However, what is the point of keeping Septmus alive for a final battle? I mean, it's less ridiculous than saying Roran is a draft dodger, but still...
-
Will it be worse than Eragon ?
-
that we've already seen all of this before, basically. I just don't know if this movie will have enough comedy to make it distinct. It certainly isn't going to feel unique based on having magical words of CGI.
-
Hey, ComicGeeks?
What say you go out and try to get laid rather than sitting at home whining like a bunch of little twats.
Funny how you can complain and criticize other people's hard work and creativity when the only things you ever seem to be able to produce is more of your puerile moaning on these message boards.
p.s.
I banged your moms. All of them.
And they were gooooooooooood. -
This isn't a very good trailer. It's purposely trying to make Stardust look like an action movie and is actively trying to hide the fairy tale. I can see bits of the quirkiness I liked from the books, but if the movie's at all faithful, we're just not getting the full effect.
-
By the hair of Sanjaya the worst CGI in its short history has to be the dino stampede in Cong.
Traumnovelle the three witches did remind me a lot of Hocus Pocus (not that I am admitting I watched it however). I wonder if HP got its premise from "Stardust". -
Fanboy bitching about not recognizing any of the actors on account of being born the year Titanic came out, I'm surprised by how formulaic this trailer is. Everything I'd read about Stardust was that this was a comedy like the princess bride. But this trailer isn't marketing it that way. Has the deceptive campaign behind Bridge to Terabithia convinced the industry that trailers to anything fantasy-related should always follow a Potter/LOTR/Narnia formula with chanting choirs and explosions of CG magic no matter how far it strays from the movie's actual tone? Or is fantasy as anything other than an action adventure yarn just too hard a sell? I guess it's better if the trailers have no variety but the movies do rather than the other way around.
-
it was a six-episode mini on BBC.
-
will make $55 mil. theatrical, tops. something about fantasy + sunlight doesnt sit well with moviegoing audiences for some reason
-
it was back in the days when the bbc just couldnt do drama without it feeling like cheap am-dram. Hang on... back in the days... anyway. it was terribly directed, cheap as chips and hammy as hell. Think stardust looks only 'OK' by this trailer (the rutube one was better in fact) except for the woeful titanic homage on the airship as it lands. puketasticly weak and pretty darn silly.
-
(__)__)
-
The fan boy talkbackers are on fire today. Regarding Starbust: this trailer might as well insert "Bombs Away" before the release date.
-
what about making a trailer that doesn't present this film like it will be a cheap medley of all action adventure films released during the past ten years? well, i can understand that a super generic trailer may sell this film that is promising to be really special, to the stupid audience segments who fear originality. also the people who like the source material may buy their tickets no matter how boring the trailer presents the film. but even then there are those people who don't know much about stardust and may be offended by how dull this thing is put together...
i'd have preferred a less generic trailer that gives the film the special treatment it hopefully deserves. i mean...even the average joes are not completely deaf. even they must be sick of that trailer music. -
for me personally this film is a big lost chance, possibility for harrison ford to get a role in an interesting film. it's so sad.
-
I lay "ComicGeeks" all the time, but I wouldn't spit on a pompous attention-starved prick like you.
-
And this film looks much too overwrought - the book is much more subtle and delicate. Danes looks like a moose, the guy who plays Tristan is totally nondescript, and Pfeiffer and DeNiro are chewing the scenery. If this trailer is any indication of how the movie will be, it will be highly disappointing. Feh.
-
somehow it really drives me nuts when the flat american accent comes through. i'm always like 'how did that american dude end up in the funny costume with all the posh brits in this strange fantasy world?' plus, bad wig, claire danes you homewrecking whore!
