The wait is over! The trailer for one of the most anticipated sequels ever-made, Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, has been unleashed! Writer/director Troy Duffy and the cast of the film debuted the trailer at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con and now Sony Pictures has made it available to the legions of the franchise’s devoted fans!
Check it at at below and weigh in with your thoughts!
When will you be able to see the film? Troy Duffy recently announced, via Twitter, that the film is scheduled to hit theaters on Halloween weekend. We will keep you posted as the story develops.
The film is the continuation of writer & director Troy Duffy’s tough, stylized cutting edge saga of fraternal twins, the MacManus brothers (Norman Reedus, Sean Patrick Flanery). The two have been in deep hiding in the quiet valleys of Ireland, far removed from their former lives or modern technologies. When word comes that a priest has been killed by sinister forces in the tough underworld of Boston, they return to mount a violent and bloody crusade to bring justice to those who must now suffer the consequences, with a new partner in crime (Clifton Collins, Star Trek) and a sexy FBI operative (Julie Benz, TV’s “Dexter”) hot on their trail!

In Recent Boondock Saints News…
Timed to coincide with the cinematic release “Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day,” writer/director Troy Duffy is working with 12 Gauge Comics on a comic tie-in project. The original cult hit movie followed brothers Connor and Murphy MacManus, who take it upon themselves to clean up the streets of Boston, ridding their hometown of crime as local vigilantes. The film sequel does not yet have a firm release date, but upon its release, the series will follow.
Readers will see, among other things, the circumstances behind Il Duce’s first kill. “Some very personal things happen to him that’s sort of his impetus to begin killing,” Duffy said. “But then there’s another person involved, and it becomes much more than just ‘one kill for revenge.’”
