Gaiman did not want people to go to the theatre to see a film that attempted to be completely loyal to Stardust the book and failed.

The relative velocity between the comet and the spacecraft was such that the comet actually overtook the spacecraft from behind as they traveled around the Sun.

Data from the Stardust mission show that materials retrieved from the tail of Wild 2 were crystalline and could only have been born in fire, at extremely high temperatures of over .

In October 2005, the director entered final negotiations with Paramount Pictures to direct and produce Stardust with a budget estimated at 70 million.
