From
the imaginations of best-selling author Neil Gaiman and director
Matthew Vaughn comes "Stardust", the enchanting tale of
a fallen star who crashes into a magical kingdom – and turns
out to be no ordinary meteorite at all, but a beautiful, imperiled
woman chased after by an incredible array of seekers who want or
need her secret powers. From wicked witches to power-mad princes,
from flying pirates to dueling goblins, each person who encounters
the star has his or own agenda, but all desire just one thing: her
heart.
The
result is a rip-roaring tale of true love and high adventure that
mixes and matches all the grand themes and imagination-sparking
elements that have ever caused anyone of any age to fall in love
with fairy tales.
"Stardust"
begins in the sleepy English village of Wall, so named for the cobblestone
wall that has, for eons, kept the villagers safely apart form the
strange, supernatural parallel universe that lies just on the other
side. It is here that young Tristan Thorne (Charlie Cox) makes a
wild-eyed promise to the prettiest girl in the village (Sienna Miller),
whose heart he hopes to win: that he will bring her back a fallen
star. But in order to make good on his promise, Tristan will have
to cross the forbidden wall, and enter a mysterious kingdom lit
by unending magic and unfolding legends of which he will quickly
become a part.
In
this fantastical realm known as Stormhold, Tristan discovers that
the fallen star is not the meteorite he expected, but a beautiful,
spirited young woman (Claire Danes) injured by her cosmic tumble.
Now, she is in terrible danger - sought after by colossal powers
including the King's (Peter O'Toole) scheming sons for whom only
her secret powers can secure the throne; and chillingly powerful
witch (Michelle Pfeiffer) desperate to use the star to achieve eternal
youth and beauty.
As
Tristan sets out to protect the star and bring her back to his beloved
on the other side of the wall, his journey will bring unforeseen
romance, adventure, and incredible encounters with a pirate captain
(Robert De Niro) and a shady trader (Ricky Gervais), among other
surprises. But if he can survive on his wits and the strength of
his newfound love, Tristan will also uncover the secret key to his
own identity and a fate beyond his wildest dreams.
The
movie will be released on 2nd November, 2007 in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore
& Pune.
