GREETINGS from Vicki Werkley! Thanks for all your patience, everyone. This will be really bare bones for now (I'm s'posed to have more info next week). There's an unlikely possibility this event may need to happen the following weekend (Oct. 13-15), but I'll know about that in a few days. °*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°* STARMAN FAMILY-CON 2016 (SFC’16) 14th biennial "Family Reunion" of those who created/appreciate STARMAN October 7-9, 2016 including: Reunion Party with Cast/Crew/Staff (Saturday, Oct. 8) Celebrating the 30th anniversary of the STARMAN series debut 9/19/1986!

There'll be many changes, which I'll detail in an upcoming post. $$$$ Yes, as you've guessed, the rates will be a little higher, but Liam Thorpe (Sales Director) and I have been working to get the best deal possible. And now the room price includes a full breakfast buffet! Also, for you flyers, the 24-hr airport shuttle is still free! Likewise the overall SFC Con Fee (primarily Party event space + Food) will probably have to rise a bit also. As always, I'll do my best to arrange as affordable an event as possible. We plan on our other traditions: a Friday-night Pizza Party, commemorative T-shirts, the 12th biennial BookNight, and a small charity auction to sponsor our rescued mustang Cachuma Star at the Wild Horse Sanctuary. It'd be very helpful if you'd bump an email back to me saying "YES/NO/MAYBE I'll attend." This isn't a commitment. We just want to know how much catering to invest in and how many rooms to block at our better rates.Unfortunately, I won't be able to take time ro respond. I'll just hit REPLY and put THANX in the subject line so you'll know how much I appreciate your finding the time to let me know. Please make sure all Con-related messages have SFC somewhere in the subject line. Thanks!. If you have pressing questions---especially if Its something I should deal with in the contract negotiations---try calling me. ALWAYS leave a message if you get the machine, cuz sometimes I just can't get there before it clicks over. Please spread the word, so all StarFolk know "It's ON!" for 2016. This MAY have to be the last full-fledged SFC, tho some folks have been talking about continuing with smaller gatherings.. Liz Turner will post this message on Facebook for me.

Christopher Daniel Barnes interview
by Hill Chuck 26 May '16

26 May '16

There is a great interview of Christopher Daniel Barnes on Comic Book Central at the following link on his new Facebook page. He talks about Starman about 20 minutes into the interview, but he primarilly talks about his voice acting roles in an insightful and modest way. http://hwcdn.libsyn.com/p/d/d/e/dde6600c93c5b750/CBC_Ep_127_Christopher_Dan… https://www.facebook.com/christopherdanielbarnes

STARMAN movie remake -- news reports from June 2015
by Todd Andrews 10 Oct '15

10 Oct '15

Greetings and Blue Lights, Everyone, I came across these two reports this morning. Some excerpts from the full articles that I thought were interesting. http://www.tracking-board.com/tb-exclusive-remake-of-classic-sci-fi-romance… June 4, 2015 Sony Pictures is developing a remake of the 1984 sci-fi/romance STARMAN. Sources confirm that the studio is taking the remake in a new direction, more in line tonally with the hit teen drama The Fault In Our Stars. Adam North will oversee development for the studio, while Michael Douglas, who produced the original, will produce under his Further Films banner. ... In the early 80’s, the script was famously chosen by Sony over Night Skies, which would eventually be re-developed into E.T. for Universal. Although not as successful as E.T., Starman has since gained recognition and has been nominated by AFI as one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time. http://www.technologytell.com/entertainment/63044/sony-wants-add-starman-li… June 12, 2015 ... There was even a short-lived TV show that tried to capitalize on the movie’s popularity, starring Robert Hayes as Starman. Sony’s new version will reportedly skew younger, hoping to reach a teen audience. That’s guaranteed to be controversial with fans of the 1984 version.
