Iconic South African actor, film producer and comedian Leon Schuster and his Mad Buddies co-star Alfred Ntombela will be meeting fans at the Maponya Mall Ster-Kinekor on Wednesday 20 June at 7pm. The meet and greet will be followed by a pre-screening of the film at 8pm.
Leon Schuster’s Mad Buddies stars the SA-funny man as one half of a duo of sworn enemies who are forced to spend more time together than they would like. Boetie (Leon Schuster) and Beast (Kenneth Nkosi) are two guys with a lot of bad blood between them. However, when efforts at one-upmanship lead to their arrest, they are given a simple choice by ambitious TV exec Kelsey (Tanit Phoenix): “to rot in jail or set off across country on a 500km walking road trip to Johannesburg’. They begrudgingly opt for the road trip but they unwittingly become subjects of a new hit reality TV show.
Says Schuster, “Mad Buddies has been a work of passion for myself, the cast and crew. What better way to celebrate this film that took over three years to bring to life, than by sharing it with the South African public in such a personal way.’
Mad Buddies, released under the Touchstone Pictures banner, will release nationwide on Friday 22 June 2012.
Pre-screening bookings for Mad Buddies opened on 7 June 2012.
