Jet-Lagged ‘Stardust’ Director Matthew Vaughn Appears at Public Q&A in Chicago

Matthew Vaughn, who produced violent films such as “Snatch” and “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels,” said on Monday night at a “Stardust” screening and public Q&A in Chicago that his shift to directing the fantasy film was inspired by “having children”.

The packed house gave his latest project a relatively warm reception. Even so, only two people in the crowd had read the book. The film opens on Aug. 10. My interview with Vaughn will appear then.
