Among the plethora of media and comic stars that appeared at the 2012 Motor City Comic-Con this weekend, the biggest draw was by far Sean Patrick Flanery and David Della Rocco, stars of the cult classic film The Boondock Saints. Though originally slated to appear, Norman Reedus was unable to attend MCCC due to filming obligations for the third season of AMC’s The Walking Dead. That left the two three-named stars to pose for pictures and sign autographs for hours on end. The only time “The Saints” seemed to step away from their table was to take part in a short discussion panel about cult classics with Sherilyn Fenn of Twin Peaks, James Duval of Donny Darko, and Patricia Quinn of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
The panel itself got off to an awkward start as the lights remained off for the first 10 minutes and there was no microphone for audience members to use. But Flanery kept things going by sharing humorous stories about his Boondock Saints co-stars and fielding questions to the other guests when it appeared the audience was mostly there for him.
Though a majority of the questions focused on stories from the past, the panel started with a bang as the first question was about the future of The Boondock Saints franchise, at which point Flanery confirmed a third film is being written now. While it is little more than confirmation of the rumors that have circulated since the second film was released in 2009, it does suggest Saints fans might not have to wait 10 years between films this time around.
Check out Flanery’s answer and the crowd reaction in the video below.
Can not wait thank you
