Yeah, I know there are those out there who feel ‘The Boondock Saints’ is “‘Pulp Fiction’ Lite” and Troy Duffy is a lucky asshole who burned his bridge before he even crossed it. Personally, I think the movie is quite cool and very kickass. This trailer for the follow-up comes to us today from IGN, and it looks to be even more of the same thing, and, for me, that’s a very good thing. And seriously, doesn’t Clifton Collins Jr. just make everything a little bit cooler?
It is red-band, so be warned.
Troy Duffy is returning as writer/director, and he got everyone but Willem Dafoe back on board. Dafoe, evidently, was too busy playing with Lars Von Trier out in the woods. That’s pure speculation. I have no evidence to back that up. This time around, Duffy’s even brought on board Julie Benz, who is, I’m guessing, choosing her roles based on how much violence and blood is shed in the film; Peter Fonda, who, in my humble opinion, should ride a wave down Wilsire Boulevad in every film he’s in; Judd Nelson, who was last seen saving St. Louis from a black hole; and the aforementioned Collins Jr. That man needs no introduction. He merely is.
‘The Boondock Saints II: All Saint’s Day’ is set for an October 30th release.
