All facts 10
- At the 63rd minute of the film, Michelle Pfeiffer looks young in the mirror, although she should already look old, as she did a minute earlier, since she has already lost her energy.
- The film is based on Neil Gaiman's novel "Stardust" (1998).
- Sarah Michelle Gellar turned down the lead female role offered to her in order to be able to spend more time with her husband, Freddie Prinze Jr.
- Alex Pettyfer auditioned for the role of Tristan Thorn.
- The last film of the famous British actor Mark Burns, who played the role of the bishop. He died on May 8, 2007, three months before the premiere of "Stardust."
- The rights to adapt Neil Gaiman's fairy-tale novella were originally acquired by Miramax Films back in the autumn of 1998. For some time the project was in development, but no real steps were taken, and after the rights expired they reverted to the author.
