[meteorite-list] Upcoming "meteorite hunt" based movie

[Darren Garrison]

I've noticed that there is a movie in production based on a graphic novel called
_Stardust_ written by author Neil Gaiman about a young man searching for a
"shooting star".  It is a fantasy novel (and movie) and not quite realistic as
to what goes into finding a meteorite after seeing a bolide (for instance, in
the movie, the meteorite looks like this

enjoyable "light" read with colorful, well done illustrations.  Worth checking
out even if it isn't "serous" in it's look at meteorite hunting (just make sure
you find the illustrated version of the book, there is a cheaper,
non-illustrated one)

Here's a piece on the upcoming movie version:
