![]() ![]() Johannes Alberic, as he was known in the book, became Captain Shakespear, an English loving pirate who caught lightning with his crew in a flying ship. He had this to say when asked about working with the director of the movie īesides the change to the book’s magical system, one of the largest differences in the movie was that of the lightning pirates. ![]() But despite all this, it is important to keep in mind that Neil Gaiman himself does not believe adaptations should be exactly like the original. ![]() There were a few unsavory changes, however, like how the movie did away with a lot of the more magical aspects of the story in favor of focusing strictly on the romance. Even with the addition of subplots and conflicts, both told the same magical story and, in my opinion, both did it wonderfully. As a romance, the movie was breathtaking. Its 2007 movie adaptation was written as a fantasy romance, making the love story the main focus of the retelling. Stardust featured a romantic storyline between a love-struck shop boy and a fallen star. Romance, whether as a subplot or the main focus of a story, is so popular we see it insert itself into all types of genres. Adaptations do not often get away with changing the genre of the story it is retelling, so it is especially interesting that the movie based on Neil Gaiman's classic Stardust did. ![]() ![]() ![]() Tim Federle is the showrunner and executive producer of High School Musical: the Musical: the Series, which he created for Disney+. ![]() The companion novel to Better Nate Than Ever, which The New York Times called “inspired and inspiring,” Five, Six, Seven, Nate! is full of secret admirers, surprise reunions, and twice the drama of middle school.with a lot more glitter.

I was also chosen by Waterstone's in 2007 as one of their 'Twenty-five authors for the future'.

Married with three children, I now live in Oxford between two rivers, surrounded by gargoyles, beautiful sandstone buildings and ancient trees. I then joined Oxfam as a lobbyist on conflict issues, campaigning at the UN and with governments to lessen the impact of conflict on civilians living in war zones - a cause about which I still feel very passionate. On leaving Poland, I exchanged diplomacy for academia and took a doctorate in the literature of the English Romantic Period at Oxford. My work as a diplomat took me from the high point of town twinning in the Tatra Mountains to the low of inspecting the bottom of a Silesian coal mine. After reading English at Cambridge, I decided to find out as much as I could about the wider world so joined the Foreign Office and served in Poland. I grew up on the edge of Epping Forest and was that dreamy kind of child who was always writing stories.
