Boondock Saints Sequel Set

Casting About, Irritations

File this under “Apocalypse, pending.” Slashfilm is reporting, per a video announcement from Troy Duffy himself, that the long-threatened… err, rumored Boondock Saints sequel is finally happening, with original cast members Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus and Billy Connelly all said to be returning. Does St. Patrick’s Day fall on a Tuesday next year? Because I’m sensing a savvy direct-to-DVD stunt from financier Sony, a la the recent remake of The Omen, which studio middle-ups and director John Moore basically admitted was made solely to opportunistically fill the slot of a June 6, 2006 (i.e., 6/6/06) release date. Either way, maybe this gives Duffy another chance to threaten to kick my ass if I don’t like his movie, and give it a bad review…

  1. Ugh, this movie is frigging terrible, just awful, awful. I can’t believe that anyone would actually give Troy Duffy any more money to make a movie, whether it’s a studio or even friends and family. He’s an egotistical jerk, as proved by the documentary “Overnight” proves.

  2. learn to speak.

    boondock saints is a great movie. but you’d much rather follow the mainstream belief, wouldn’t you?

  3. Sorry revolt — the ‘mainstream belief’ is the correct one on this. It’s a highly derivative and poorly executed film that should have never had a theatrical release the first time around.
