'Boondock' Sequel May Arrive in Theaters This Fall

The sequel to Boondock Saints, which has established one of the largest cult followings of any independent film released in the last decade, will be in theaters by the end of the year. That's what co-star Clifton Collins, Jr. says in an interview with MTV. "It was going to be released on All Saints Day, because [the film] is called All Saints Day,” Collins notes. “But now, what I’m hearing is they want to release it earlier, because it’s pretty hot.” This would, of course, require a distributor, which to my knowledge, the sequel has yet to obtain. But Collins confirms the film is complete, which means finding a company to put it in theaters is the next logical step. “I saw a rough cut on St. Patrick’s Day at [director] Troy Duffy’s house, and he’s one-upped himself,” Collins insists. That's all fine and good, but Duffy earned a bad reputation for his dealing with Harvey Weinstein over the release of the first film, which subsequently was kept out of theaters and found an audience on DVD. Collins says Duffy has learned from those mistakes, which should help the sequel find a studio willing to back it. “As a person, he dialed it down considerably. I think he would be a studio’s dream right now.” So be on the lookout for Boondock Saints II: All Saint's Day this fall, I guess.

Meh....I thought the first one was boring, stupid and unoriginal. Way too much effort put into being edgy and "Snatch-like"....just didn't do it for me at all.

amazing movie (at least the first was) that deserves to have a chance at the theater.

The studios aren't going to let "personality" come between them and money - and Harvey Weinstein isn't exactly Mr Congeniality himself.

Not showing Boondock Saints in the cinemas is the biggest mistake since Decca passed on the Beatles.

Anyway with the huge cult following enjoyed (and deserved) by the first film, only a fool would pass on the sequel.
