“Boondock Saints” Too

CBR.com posted a larger version of the piece above along with a mini-interview with Troy Duffy, the man behind “The Boondock Saints.”  You may remember that Duffy was a bartender in 1997 who scored a million dollar deal with addtional benefits based on his “Boondock Saints” screenplay.  Before the film was completed, Duffy’s rampaging ego alienated his family, friends, and the production company behind his big bucks deal.  Ultimately “The Boondocks Saints” was never given a wide theatrical release, Duffy had burned his bridges and gone through the money.

A funny thing happened when “The Boondock Saints” went to dvd and cable.  It became a cult hit!  Now, tweleve years later, and without any additional films in between, Duffy is coming back with “The Boondock Saints 2.”  As a tie-in to the movie, Duffy has teamed with 12 Guage to create a comic that will expand “The Boondock Saints” story.  Chris Brunner [an excellent artist] will provide covers to the series with an interior artist to be named later.

The movie and comic are projects to keep an eye on.  Let’s hope that Duffy has become a bit of a “Saint” too.
