This study aims at analysing the way the figure of the hero is built in a contemporary novel and, from the data obtained, understanding the way the hero is translated to the filmic media. The corpus of the research was constituted by the novel Stardust (1999), by the English writer Neil Gaiman, and its film adaptation Stardust (2007), released in Brazil, in the same year, under the title Stardust: o mistério da estrela. As theoretical contribution I use, mainly, the texts by Campbell (2007), Propp (1978) and Simonsen (1987) regarding the hero, his journey and how he faces it. I will also use, specially, the theories of Hutcheon (2006), Sanders (2006), Stam (2000) and Leitch (2007, 2008) for the study of the adaptation of literary works; and the texts of Martin (2003), Xavier (2005) and Vanoye and Goliot-Lété (1994) to comment on film, its characteristics and the way it produces its works. I propose here a vision of the adaptation as an artistically independent work, and the hero as a figure that, despite the recurrent dialogue with the great classics, shows himself with new characteristics
