Well it appears after much back and forth that a Boondock Saints sequel may actually happen. We get the scoop from our friends at cinematical:
According to The Hollywood Reporter, which reports on things from Hollywood, “principal photography has started in Toronto on Troy Duffy’s sequel to the 2000 indie.” Yes, Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flanery are coming back to reprise their roles. Also back on board are Billy Connolly and David Della Rocco. Other cast members will include Clifton Collins, Julie Benz, and Bob Marley.
Apparently Overnight the documentary that shows the making of the Boondock Saints is better than the film itself. Boondock was a great film that flew under the radar but slowly built up rep and success on word of mouth and recommendations from one buddy to another. My buddy Bill is the one who first told me about it.
Hopefully this announcement turns out to be true this time. Over the years we have heard that this is on again, off again, and now, with luck the project will stay on and give fans of the film the highly anticipated sequel.
International Friends, are you excited for a Boondock Saints sequel?
