Variety reports that producer-turned-director Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake) has optioned Neil Gaiman's fantasy novel Stardust, about the adventures of a half-fairy boy, for himself to direct via his production company MARV. Here's how the book is describes:
Young Tristan Thorn will do anything to win the cold heart of beautiful Victoria--even bring her the star they watch as it falls from the night sky. But to do so, he must enter the unexplored lands on the other side of the ancient barrier that borders their tiny village. And beyond the safety of Wall, strange things can happen to a determined lad chasing his heart's desire into a magical world of wonders and perils--where anything that can be imagined can be found.
Vaughn is also in talks with Trainspotting writer John Hodge to come aboard his remake of 1960s TV series The Man From U.N.C.L.E. for Warner Bros.

"I've always wanted to make a spy movie, and our idea is like nothing you've ever seen before," Vaughn told the trade. "The name is the only thing that's staying from the original show. The studio is giving us a lot of freedom to break the rules."
