Ian McKellen is set to voice the narration for the romantic fantasy, Stardust for Paramount Pictures.

The film stars Claire Danes, Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer and Charlie Cox; The Hollywood Reporter notes McKellen is recording his part during post-production. It's based on Neil Gaiman's novel and centers on a young man who promises his beloved that he will retrieve a fallen star by venturing into the Faerie realm, where he encounters witches, goblins, gnomes, talking animals and evil trees. Gaiman's fairy tale debuted in 1997 as a four-issue DC Comics miniseries with illustrations by Charles Vess; it was published as a single book the following year.

Stardust wrapped production last year; a July 27th release date has been set.

Stardust was released August 10th, 2007 and stars Claire Danes, Ian McKellen, Bimbo Hart, Alastair MacIntosh, David Kelly, Ben Barnes, Kate Magowan, Melanie Hill. The film is directed by Matthew Vaughn.
