How it's used
Borrowed from the English word cast, this term is specifically used to describe a production featuring many famous or high-profile actors. It functions as an adjective and is often used to express excitement about the star power involved in a film or television show.
Examples
This movie has such an all-star cast, we must go see it.
Do you really think this movie has such an all-star cast?

Common phrases
very star-studded
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the Cantonese word 卡數, which refers to credit card debt. While they sound similar, the context of movies versus finance makes them easy to distinguish.
