Jonah Hex is a scarred drifter and bounty hunter of last resort, a stoic, battle-hardened gunslinger who can track down anyone… and anything. Having survived death, Jonah’s violent history is steeped in myth and legend, and has left him with one foot in the natural world and one on the "other side." A man fated to wander alone, his sole human connection is with Lilah, whose life in a brothel has left her with scars of her own.
Jonah’s past is about to catch up with him when the U.S. military makes him an offer he can’t refuse: in exchange for freedom from the warrants on his head, he must track down and stop the sinister terrorist Quentin Turnbull, the man who killed Hex’s family and mutilated his face with a branding iron. Turnbull, who is gathering an army and preparing to unleash Hell, is also Jonah’s oldest enemy and will stop at nothing until Jonah is dead.

 StarFest Friday
Marriott & Hilton DTC – I-25 & Belleview
The convention is well underway! This morning we got up before dawn for a live remote from our Main Events room for the Channel 2 Morning News Show with Chris Parente. Chris had such a blast, he invited a Klingon, a Tusken Raider, and an Ape (from Planet of the Apes) to invade his Everyday Show at 10:00am. The costumed characters replaced the regular hosts for the show’s opening and the "real" hosts had to chase them off the set. It was a lot of fun and we certainly want to thank Chris Parente and the rest of the folks at Channel 2 for a great time.
This morning, KathE Walker (the Mother of StarFest) was interviewed on 9News for a great piece that is available on the 9News website. The interview contains a lot of great information about the convention. At Noon today, Christopher Judge is scheduled to appear on the 9News at Noon show. They are sure to have video available on their site for that as well. We sure hope Chris is recovered from a late night with the Klingons. We heard that they were introducing him to all sorts of liquid beverages and someone mentioned some horseplay in the hot tub. As George Takei would say, "Oh My!"
 StarFest registration opens up at 4:00pm today at the Marriott Denver Tech Center. There is plenty of room for everyone, come on down and join the party.
 StarFest | HorrorFest | ComicFest Weekend
April 16-18, 2010 – Marriott & Hilton Denver Tech Center
Time to lock and load, pack up and gear-up for a Weekend of Entertainment Overload. There are just a few things to go over to make sure your experience is everything you want it to be. One of those things is what tickets are you going to purchase?
StarFest is really three conventions (StarFest, HorrorFest and ComicFest). The good news is that when you buy a ticket to StarFest you are actually buying a ticket to all three; a science fiction convention, a horror convention and a comic book convention. Ticket prices start at $10 and go up; depending on how much you want to see and experience.
To make things simple, we’ve put together three popular options to illustrate the choices you have.
Lowest Price: $10.00. ComicFest one-day ticket, good Friday, Saturday, or Sunday at ComicFest at the Hilton Garden Inn. This ticket will get you into all the regular events at the #1 Comic Book Convention in the Rockies. It allows you to have a taste of what a convention is all about at a very low price, however, it doesn’t allow you to get into StarFest and see all the Movie and TV stars and a lot of the really big events.
Medium Price: $29.00. StarFest Saturday or Sunday one-day ticket, good Saturday or Sunday at ALL THREE SHOWS – StarFest, ComicFest and HorrorFest. You get to see all the scheduled events at both convention hotels (Marriott and Hilton DTC), you’ll get to see most of the stars; Summer Glau, Christopher Judge, Marina Sirtis, Garrett Wang, Tim Rose and more; and you’ll be able to come and go all day long Saturday or Sunday. Now, to be fair, not all guests are at the show all three days, so for that you’ll need the next option.
All Three Days: $49.00. StarFest three-day general admission ticket. Good for all three days, all the regular events, all sorts of fun. You’ll be able to see all our guests. You’ll be able to ask them questions and see all the convention has to offer. In short, you’ll get the full-effect of all three conventions for less than half the price of a one-day ski ticket. Not a bad deal.
Of course, there are all sorts of additional things to buy and experience, autographs, photos with the stars, Friday Night meet and greet, Saturday Night Federation Ball, just to name a few. The good news is you can add that stuff when you get there. All you’ll have to pay is the difference and we’ll hook you up.
We’ve made it really easy to get your tickets online at Starland.com, you don’t have to pay any handling charges, taxes or shipping. When you complete your order, we’ll just email your tickets to you so you can print them out and bring them to the convention. It’s really that easy!

 Vincenzo Natali
Director and Screenwriter
Vincenzo Natali gained international recognition in 1997 with the surreal sci-fi thriller Cube. The film earned Genie Award nominations for art direction, sound and score in Natali’s native Canada and went on to become a cult favorite, impressing viewers and critics alike.
His follow-up, Cypher, starred Jeremy Northam, Lucy Liu and David Hewlett in a tale about a man who assumes a new identity in preparation for an espionage career, but instead finds himself engulfed in a shaky, paranoid reality. Natali again received worldwide acclaim for his third feature, the 2003 sci-fi comedy Nothing, which he also co-wrote, and describes as a buddy comedy set in a void. Two years later, he directed Getting Gilliam, a documentary of Terry Gilliam’s production of the 2005 feature Tideland, which premiered concurrently with the feature. Natali also contributed a segment to the 2006 film-a-sketch Paris, Je t’aime.
Among the feature projects currently in development for Natali are the fantasy adventure Tunnels and the drama High Rise, which he is set to direct from his own screenplay, based on the J. G. Ballard novel.
 Philip R. Calderone
Manhater Writer, Producer and Sound Editor
Phil is one of those people who sits in a movie theatre reading all the credits long after the room has cleared, an instinctual practice that has persisted since childhood. Educated in production at UCLA he has worked on and off since 1990, with some extended breaks for a, ahem, “real” job. Ultimately, he had the opportunity to work as a First Assistant Director on a low-budget horror film and the flame was lit—he’s now committed to film/video movie production, here to stay.
