Rob Keyes — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 12:41:20 +0000

After a decade of waiting, we finally got to see the first ever official trailer for Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day last month. For fans, this was an epic and exciting moment to say the least, pushed further by the fact that nearly the entire cast – even secondary characters – return for the sequel (minus Willem Dafoe). Today, we have the second full trailer which was just released.

Starring in All Saints Day are none other than Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus as the infamous MacManus brothers alongside their father, played by Billy Connolly as “Il Duce” the legendary killer who lives by one rule – no women or children.

Also joining the roster this time around are Julie Benz as FBI agent Eunice Bloom in a ...

Boondock Saints 2 Trailer Coming Next Month! [Updated]

[UPDATE: The Boondock Saints 2 trailer is finally here.]

That’s right, you didn’t read that wrong – Boondock Saints 2 is finally on its way after ten long years and the trailer will be premiering at next month’s San Diego Comic-Con.

This news comes directly from one of the lead actors of the sequel, Clifton Collins Jr., who’s new to the series and is reportedly playing the third Saint, joining the McManus brothers.

MovieWeb had a chance to speak with Collins Jr. over the phone and the quickly-hitting-it-big actor revealed that the trailer will be played at the convention when asked about the movie. He continued on to say:

“Yes sir, so get the word out, man. I know those seats are going to go fast, but get it out to ...

Boondock Saints 2 Is In Production? Say It Ain’t So!

Brian Rentschler — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 10:16:20 +0000

Back in March, I posted an article about how a sequel to The Boonbock Saints had been greenlit, but there was quite a bit of skepticism (not just from me) as to whether it would actually happen. Well, it’s happening.

According to Hollywood Reporter, Boondock Saints 2 started filming in late October. As much as I hated the original, writer/director Troy Duffy deserves props for having the tenacity to help this project (which languished in development purgatory for years) see the light of day.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that I hope this sequel turns out to be good. Granted, I thought the original was terrible, but I always try to review every movie on its own merits. I’ve already been wrong about Troy Duffy once; he was successful in getting a sequel produced, ...

Boondock Saints 2? Say It Ain’t So!

Brian Rentschler — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 07:48:00 +0000

According to SlashFilm, the ostensibly long-awaited sequel to The Boondock Saints has been greenlit. All the main actors whose characters were alive at the end of the original are planning to return, with the notable exception of Willem Dafoe. (Apparently he’s the only sane one in the bunch.) What really fascinated me about the original was how much backlash I received for having the audacity to write a negative review of the film right here on Screen Rant a few years ago. I thought the film was terrible, and that clearly didn’t sit well with fans.

Some of the readers respectfully disagreed with me (which is perfectly okay — and appreciated), but many of the comments were insulting, inflammatory, threatening or a combination of the three. Things got so rowdy ...

Review: The Boondock Saints

Brian Rentschler — Mon, 29 Nov 2004 08:05:11 +0000

By Brian Rentschler

Short version: This movie took a half-baked idea and executed it so poorly that the end result is almost unwatchable. This is a cinematic disaster that should be avoided at all costs.

First, I should give you a little background. You may be wondering why I am reviewing a movie that was released in 1999. Well, what sparked my interest in it was the fact that there is another movie in theaters right now, called Overnight, about the rise and fall of Troy Duffy, the writer/director of The Boondock Saints. To make a long story short, Troy Duffy was a bartender in Boston who was plucked out of obscurity by being in the right place at the right time. His script for The Boondock Saints went into ...
