The upcoming fantasy movie Stardust first caught my eye because of the stellar cast (Michelle Pfeiffer, Robert DeNiro, Peter O'Toole, Ricky Gervais, and many others), and because of the whimsical atmosphere conveyed in the trailer. Knowing it's based on a Neil Gaiman novel only makes me more interested in the movie, which opens August 10.

Having posted a few things about the movie, I know some of you are major Gaiman fans or are otherwise seriously anticipating the film. And now I might have the opportunity to interview Stardust director Matthew Vaughn — but aside from the obvious questions ("What was it like working with Michelle Pfeiffer/Robert DeNiro/Peter O'Toole/Ricky Gervais?"), I'm not sure what I should ask him. Help me out, Buzz readers: What are you most curious about with this project? What should I ask Matthew Vaughn?

What first attracted him to the challenge of adapting Gaimen's novel to the screen? What obstacles did he encounter in doing so (and how did he and the cast meet those challenges)? How would he describe the final product? What pleases him most? least? What does he hope viewers will say about the film as they leave the theater?

2How comfortable did you feel working in the fantasy genre after working on gritty British dramas as both a producer and director?
3How much of your original vision ended up in X-Men 3 and what did you think of the film? Honestly.
4What were his impressions upon first reading the book?
5Does he have any other experience with Neil's work?
Is Michelle Phiefer as beautiful in person than in pictures?

8If you could, would you add the fight scene between the lion and Unicorn? What would the role of Tristan and Yvaine would be in that scene?
