Dexter found this new article on MSNBC that doesn't mention Star explicitly, but it talks in detail about the problem faced by theatres as they contemplate the switch from film to digital film:

The advent of digital cinema promises a new birth for the movie industry, offering crisper pictures and a faster and cheaper method of delivering films to movie screens. A handful of high-tech firms are racing to prepare Hollywood for the digital age, but is it really time for the movie business to bid farewell to celluloid?

IT IS HAILED by its promoters as the next big thing in the movie business. In the not-too-distant future, boosters say, movies compressed into large computer files will be beamed to movie theaters over fiber-optic cables or via satellite connections. Film projectionists will no longer need to handle awkward canisters of 35-millimeter film, selecting and screening movies instead with the simple click of a mouse.

For moviegoers, the experience of watching a movie will be greatly enhanced. Films stored in digital form won?t degrade over time like their celluloid ancestors, so no matter how many times you screen a movie its picture quality will stay the same.

So, is the celluloid age over? Not quite.
