I was on a Neil Gaiman craze a couple weeks back (thanks to his new book Fragile Things and 8days' rave review on it) and on a whim, I bought the thinnest book of his I could find in Kinokuniya--Stardust. The whimsical writing and British wit made me compare his writing with Douglas Adam's despite the fact that Stardust is essentially a fairy tale and H2G2 is sci-fi.
So I spent all 4 hours of the flight reading it and a week later, (again on a whim) I scour the web for the release dates of upcoming movies that might hold my interest and what do you know? Stardust popped up.
Unable to believe my impeccable timing (I really should start believing since my timing is almost always impeccable), I dugged around imdb.com and lo! Listed under Written by is Neil Gaiman (novel). I was right! Once again, I'm 3 steps ahead of the rest of the population. Wee~
Now to wait til mid-March to watch it and see if it lived up to my expectations (tentative release date is 16/03/2007 according to yahoo! movies but we all know how reliable *they* are).
