will be started vs will be starting

Both "will be started" and "will be starting" are correct, but they are different verb tenses. "Will be started" means a device or procedure will be activated in the near future ("The engine will be started tomorrow morning"). "Will be starting" means an event or appointment will begin in the near future and be ongoing after that ("The movie will be starting soon").
