Last year, writer/artist Neil Gaiman's Mirrormask hit arthouse theatres in the US, making a splash with it's fantastical imagery. Now Gaiman finds two of his award winning novels and one of his comic book series in development to become major films. Along with Coraline and Books of Magic; Stardust is slated to be released next year, with a high-profile cast that includes Robert De Niro and Claire Danes. Perhaps the most anticipated project of the three, there's already plenty of buzz on the internet, with aint-it-cool-news.com's Moriarty posting a detailed behind-the-scenes report for curious fans.
