Ian McKellen Sprinkles a Little Stardust
He starred in
two of 2006's biggest hits - X-Men: The Last Stand and The
DaVinci Code - but there's no rest ahead for Sir Ian McKellen.
The ever-busy gay superstar will lend his distinctive voice to the
fantasy film Stardust, slated to open in theaters in July.
Starring
Claire Danes, Robert De Niro, and Michelle
Pfeiffer, the film tells the story of a young man who sets out to
retrieve a fallen star for the woman he loves, setting off on a trek
that takes him to the Faerie Realm, where he encounters witches,
goblins, and evil trees.
Based on a DC Comics miniseries by hot writer Neil Gaiman (Sandman,
the English-language adaptation of Princess Mononoke),
Stardust is director Matthew Vaughn's follow-up to the
action hit Layer Cake.
