A 2007 film adaptation of [[Neil Gaiman|Neil Gaiman's]] book [[Stardust (
Starring Charlie Cox, Claire Danes and Robert De Niro, the film is said to remind viewers of ''[[The Princess Bride (
----
=== ''Stardust'' contains examples of: ===
Line 13:
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: In the book, the eldest of the Lilim has black hair and wears red. In the movie, Lamia has blonde hair and wears green.
* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: The Lightning Pirates get a brief mention in the book, but have a significant plot in the movie.
* [[All-Star Cast]]: Oh yes- [[Robert De Niro]], [[The Witches of Eastwick|Michelle]] [[Batman Returns
* [[Author Appeal]]: The director of the movie, Matthew Vaughn, liked the original story so much that he thought it could be a movie a lot like ''[[The Princess Bride (
* [[Awesome Moment of Crowning]]: Tristan gets the throne and his queen while his mother, father, and Capt. Shakespeare look on approvingly.
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: The old man guarding the Wall apparently has had a lot of time to practice (having been there for 80 years).
Line 25:
* [[Cast From Hit Points]]: Lamia. Well, more "Cast From Youth," as each spell she uses drains a little bit of the good looks she got from eating the last of the previous star.
* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: Tristran's foster mother and his younger half-sister Louisa are not in the film.
* [[Cowboy Bebop
** The film does invent some attributes: the seamen in the book were not pirates, just fishermen of a sort. And their captain was not an (admitted) transvestite.
* [[Death
* [[Decoy Protagonist]]: An inversion, a Decoy ''Villain''. Septimus seems like he should become a major problem for the heroes {{spoiler|Not only is he actually Tristan's uncle, but the only time he actually meets the two main characters is in the film's climax, just in time to help fight the [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] and get killed.}}
** Played straight with Tristan's father at the beginning - although he is important. To get the real protagonist, he and {{spoiler|Una}} go into the back room and have ''fun''...
Line 52:
** Possibly [[Fridge Brilliance]]. Who's to say you'd end up in the same place if you climbed over it than if you went through the gap?
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Stars and humans. {{spoiler|In the book, this means they can't have offspring. In the movie, they have no problem with this.}}
* [[The Jimmy Hart Version]]: The section of Ilan Eshkeri's score [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oydFyUU-ufI (specifically from 3:05 onwards)] that plays during the scene at the inn is ''very'' similar to ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBl_1A63TU0 Vampire Hunters]'' from the 1992 film ''[[Bram
* [[Large Ham]]: Robert De Niro as Captain Shakespeare
** [[World of Ham]] really.
Line 79:
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: Seen in the scene where Septimus and his men ambush Captain Shakespeare's boat, in a massive fight, to the tune of the Can-Can.
* [[Sky Pirate]]: Captain Shakespeare and his crew.
* [[Spared
* [[Spoiled Sweet]]: Victoria is a mild example since she's geniunely a stuck-up brat who is sweet to Tristan more out of pity than any strong feelings toward him. However, she does seem genuinely prepared to marry him towards the end, even though she's fallen for someone else.
* [[Stealth Pun]]: {{spoiler|When Primus is killed his blood is [[Blue Blood|blue]]}}. Whether or not this is true for all natives of Faerie is never addressed, so it counts.
