Arcand cited his later film Days of Darkness (2007) as similar to Stardom, though Days of Darkness was ostensibly a sequel to his other films The Decline of the American Empire (1986) and The Barbarian Invasions (2003).{{Cite web|url=http://www.lactualite.com/culture/quest-ce-qui-cloche-avec-denys-arcand/ |title=Qu'est-ce qui cloche avec Denys Arcand ? |last=Coulombe |first=Michel |date=8 November 2007 |access-date=30 December 2016 |work=L'actualité}}
