What film does Stardust most resemble?
Cargill: If I hear one more person compare this to The Princess Bride (because it is the only other comedy fantasy they can think of) I am going to go to a brick factory, steal a truck and drive around town chucking bricks at the back of the heads of anyone who so much as sneezes a sneeze that sounds like they said it. If I were to compare it to a fantasy comedy, I’d put it more in line with the Ringo Star/Dennis Quaid “masterpiece” Caveman. Laremy: The only comparison people feel comfortable making is The Princess Bride, but I don’t think that’s very fair. That movie, like this one, defies genre and so just lumping them together isn’t really that accurate. It’s probably a little closer to Labyrinth if I had to pick. What do you think of the marketing of Stardust thus far? Cargill: I think the trailer does an effective job of showing just how miserable a mishmash this film is. Laremy: It’s been horrible, and I know exactly why. How do you convince someone to see something entirely new
