Intel is forming a new digital entertainment company focused on distributing premium movies directly to consumers over the Internet. The new ClickStar venture is partnership between Intel, actor Morgan Freeman and producer Lori McCreary.

Kirsten Dunst, Thomas Jane, and Monica Bellucci represent the company's ability to cross age brackets and appeal to younger audiences as well.
