/24-7PressRelease/ -- Actors Macleish Day, Tom Doyle, Adrian Hart and Don Kraus will join director Trygve Lode and producer Darlene Cypser at MileHiCon, the largest Science-Fiction Literary Convention in the Rocky Mountain Region at the Hyatt Regency - Tech Center, 7800 E. Tufts Avenue, Denver, CO on October 24th at noon.
The Highwayman is a historical action/adventure movie based on Alfred Noyes' well-known poem. The movie centers on a young man in 18th century England named Will Stiles who becomes a highwayman seeking revenge on those who wronged his family and who continues his revenge even after death. The movie began principal photography in Colorado on September 4th with a 3 day shoot at the Colorado Governor's mansion. Later in September a scene was shot with Martin Kove (Karate Kid) as Roan Blackthorn, a blacksmith who refuses to give Will Stiles work, an act which drives Will towards becoming a highwayman.
The presentation at MileHiCon will include a panel with cast and crew members and a sneak preview of scenes from the movie. Scenes shot at the Governor's mansion and footage shot with Martin Kove (Karate Kid) will be shown at MileHicon.
