Stolen Star Wars Movie Raises Bootlegging Concerns MENOMINEE, Wis. (Reuters) - Coming soon to a street corner near you -- bootleg copies of the new Star Wars movie? Police Tuesday were searching for burglars who stole a copy of ''Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace,'' from a theater here as concerns mounted that the reel would be used to make high-quality illegal videos of the blockbuster film. ''At this time, we're still investigating the matter,'' said Lt. Doug Briggs of the Menominee Police Department. ''We've been working with the production company and we've also checked with the federal authorities. They're really worried about pirating.'' Police had no suspects. Tom Sherak, chairman of distributor Twentieth Century Fox's domestic film group, said he had heard that authorities were close to recovering the reel, but had no confirmation. He said bootlegging is a fact of life that all studios must deal with. ''The bottom line is, it happens on just about every movie,'' he said. ''There's not much we can do other than wait for police to do their job.'' Briggs said the manager of the State Theater called police shortly after noon Saturday to report the theft. The reel, which weighs about 40 pounds, was apparently taken from the projector some time between the last showing Friday night and midday Saturday. There were no signs of forced entry. The movie comes on seven reels which are then spliced together so the film can run uninterrupted, Briggs said. The stolen copy was a spliced version including all seven reels. Briggs said another copy was flown in Sunday, and the theater resumed showing the movie -- but not before disappointing a few fans Saturday when shows were canceled.
