Stardust Returns! 4K Blu-ray Release Will Leave You Spellbound!

Alright, folks, dust off your fairy wings, because *Stardust* is getting a gorgeous 4K Blu-ray upgrade! For those unfamiliar, *Stardust* is that delightful 2007 fantasy adventure film based on Neil Gaiman’s novel, and honestly, it's one of those movies that just gets better with age. Think *Princess Bride* meets *Game of Thrones*, but with significantly less bloodshed... and more Michelle Pfeiffer being deliciously evil.

Stardust Returns! 4K Blu-ray Release Will Leave Yo...

Good news for collectors: Amazon is offering the standard 4K Blu-ray for $32.49, with a release date of April 28th. So, plenty of time to pre-order and make sure you snag a copy. But for the real aficionados out there, Best Buy still has the 2024 4K steelbook edition in stock for just a few dollars more at $35.65. Personally, I’m leaning towards the steelbook; that extra bit of shine just feels right for a movie this magical.

What's included in this sparkly new package? Well, you're getting the 4K Blu-ray, of course, but also a standard Blu-ray disc with the film and all the special features. Plus, a digital streaming code for those times when you're on the go and need a dose of Yvaine's celestial glow. The cover art is the classic theatrical poster, which, while not groundbreaking, is certainly iconic. But the real treasure here is the special features.

Speaking of those special features, this release is packing some serious behind-the-scenes goodness. We're talking about an audio commentary with director Matthew Vaughn (the guy behind *Kick-Ass* and some *X-Men* flicks, so you know it'll be interesting) and writer Jane Goldman. There's also a five-part documentary detailing the making of *Stardust*, plus a bunch of featurettes, deleted scenes, a blooper reel (because who doesn't love a good blooper reel?), and the theatrical trailer. All the bells and whistles, basically.

For those who might have missed it the first time around, *Stardust* is a whirlwind of adventure. It follows Tristan, a young man who promises to retrieve a fallen star for the woman he loves. Turns out, the star is Yvaine, a literal celestial being, and she's being hunted by a bunch of power-hungry princes and a coven of witches who want her immortality. It’s a fantastic ride with a stellar cast, including Charlie Cox, Claire Danes, Robert De Niro (yes, really!), and the aforementioned Michelle Pfeiffer. Honestly, if you're looking for a movie that’s equal parts charming, exciting, and visually stunning, *Stardust* in 4K is definitely worth checking out. Consider this your official invitation to step through the wall and into Stormhold!
