I was recently introduced to Jaime Milner, who is working tirelessly to bring all these elements together under one roof, and he shared some of his inspiration behind the creation of FanXLive<\/strong> as a distinct event: “As well as the usual mixture of stars signing autographs which every event tends to cater for I wanted to bring so much more including talent from behind the cameras<\/em> to not only meet the fans but also talk about the stories they hold from their time working on the movies — and of course how they were all made. Those insights are so integral to the worlds we all know and love — and something that is so overlooked in our field of events, in all forms and genres of movie\/tv attendance, so I wanted to change that.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will assuredly be an energized event, with many opportunities to meet talented voice actors, writers, and performers — some of whom are rarely seen because of their work inside a droid or acting behind a digital creation! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LOTR original trilogy fans will be delighted at this rare appearance of Rick Porras, who as Co-Producer of the trilogy has terrific stories to share from his time working with Peter Jackson and WETA. There is a Cosplay Contest as well as a unique “After Hours” program<\/a> featuring one of our favorite stars from the British stage and screen, Miriam Margolyes! A delightful opportunity to be in that audience and ask questions directly to Miriam is a special treat indeed. Oh, the stories and memories she’ll share!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
