All week long we’ll be telling you about the coolest stuff to do and see at SXSW 2012. Topping our Thursday, we’ve got some info about a few special attending guests of the fan-favorite film THE BOONDOCK SAINTS.
We here at Bigfanboy.com are not-so-secretly hardcore fans of THE BOONDOCK SAINTS films, and have featured more than a few interviews with the cast and director Troy Duffy. Among the many awesome things going on at the South by Southwest Film Festival, you’ll have a chance to meet actors Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus and David Della Rocco in person, and find out about the new video game for THE BOONDOCK SAINTS. Check out the full press release below. If you’ve never had the pleasure of meeting these fellas in person, definitely make the effort to do so, as they’re always wonderful with the fans. Last year Troy and Rocco attended to promote the film being incorporated into YooStar. In the past few years we’ve been treated to a sequel, comic books, action figures and more. You can find a variety of merchandise online as well at the official website.
