Matthew Vaughn, producer and director of the film, said: "The Brecon Beacons National Park is a hidden gem. It was a fantastic location for Stardust.
"Its dramatic landscape and sweeping views are perfect for filming. It was a pleasure to shoot there."
Stardust is described as a fantasy adventure love story.
It is set in the sleepy English village of Wall, bordering a magic land, and tells the story of a young man named Tristian, played by rising British star Charlie Cox, who goes on a quest to win the heart of his beloved Victoria, played by celebrity gossip favourite Sienna Miller.
His journey in search of a falling star Yvaine - Romeo and Juliet's Claire Danes - takes him into a magical world where he faces the witch, Lamia, played by Pfeiffer, and pirate Captain Shakespeare - Robert De Niro.
