Catch A Falling Star And Save It As A Jpeg, Keep It For A Rainy Day

Paramount insisted the jpegs originally shown here were removed... for the time being at least. I think they're possibly earmarked for print use. Thankfully, Neil Gaiman's very own blog had linked to them so they've been well seen - and probably saved to the hard drives of a thousand Stardust fans.

In the meantime, here are four images that they have sanctioned. And feel free to leave Paramount a plea in the comments - nothing would make me happier than putting the first set of images back, but I'm not going to lose somebody their job to do it.

Subscribers and browsers have had a full month since April 9th to find the images here so I think Paramount are pretty much shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted, but I'm sorry if you have happened to come to the party too late.

If the images do appear/have surfaced anywhere else, please pop a link in the comments. Until then - four considerably less thrilling, but still pretty good, images - all of which could already be seen elsewhere on film ick. C'est la vie.

Let me just predict that Stardust will bomb. Any movie that lures in a summer audience with Michelle using a magic wand = TROUBLE AHEAD! This movie looks very metrosexual and in a summer of steroid sequels and Transformers, it's going to get smashed to bits like a British period piece.

Doesn't mean it won't be a good movie. It's lovely to look at, and Mr Gaiman is such a good writer...

All the Neil Gaiman fans going to see it will be enough for it not to bomb.

Shut up, Brendon.

Shut up, Brendon? Do you think I'm the person who made that comment re: metrosexuality? All I said was up there above the pics...

Whoops. Heh. Sorry, Brendon.

Where did Claire Danes' eyebrows go?!?

You know, bomb or not, it will be fun to see. And that's the point of summer movies, isn't it? How many movies do we get like this, anyhow?

but why are the pirates evil? They were rather friendly in the book...

Are they evil?

From what I've seen it looks like the pirates aren't evil, just wary of their unexpected new crewmembers. You can never write a book straight across into a movie, anyway. The conflict with the pirates probably serves a purpose in the plot arc.
