Deep Space 2 members attended to the FACTS spring edition 2019 Convention. Some went on Saterday, most went on Sunday, some went the entire weekend.
F.A.C.T.S. is the biggest science fiction, fantasy, anime & comics convention in the Benelux, since 2016 two times a year.
- a crowd favorite: the cosplay competition
- the game zone with a/o Game Mania, Nintendo, PS4, Ubisoft, Marvel, retro gaming, pinball machines, and much more
- there were large screen screenings, Q&A sessions, chill out zones, grime sessions, and so much more
- artists workshops, cosplay workshops, tech workshops
Q&A
General remark about the Q&A reports: Some actors do not want to be filmed during a Q&A, pictures is OK. Some Actors come on stage. Visitors can take pictures for a few minutes and than have to stop using cameras. Some actors do not allow any filming or pictures of any kind. These rules apply for all conventions and they are respected by the visitors.
At conventions all actors talk about their work in the past, current and future. It is understandable they cannot speak about some future projects.
That is the reason we do not put all questions and answers here in this report. We respect the privacy of the actors/directors/producers who come to talk about their work.
We did not go to all Q&As. These are (very short) the ones we went to.
Q&A Tom Hopper
Tom talked about his work, especially "The Game of Thrones". Most of his future work he couldn't talk about. He could say he is in the "The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard" (2020) with Samuel L. Jackson and Morgan Freeman.
Q&A Jason Isaacs
Jason is one of those actors who do not want their picture taken or be filmed when they are on stage. That is respected. Jason talked mostly about Harry Potter and some about Star Trek Discovery.
Q&A Dolph Lundgren
Dolph liked working with Silvester Stalone a lot. But he also talked about sports.
Q&A Mads Mikkelsen
Mads talked about his work, but couldn't talk about future projects.
Q&A Shannen Doherty
Shannen talked about her work and about cancer and her charity: Stand Up To Cancer.
And last but not least...
The next F.A.C.T.S. (2019) will be the fall edition 19-20 October 2018, same place...
