Troy Duffy Says BOONDOCK SAINTS TV Series Could Be on the Way

After hitting only five screens for one week in its theatrical release, The Boondock Saints has gone on to become on of the biggest cult classics around. Now after a huge fan following demanded a sequel ten years after the original, it appears more of everyone’s favorite vigilantes may be on the way to the small screen. We Got It Covered recently talked to director Troy Duffy and asked if another film sequel could be on the way. Indirectly, it sounds like that’s the plan, but the MacManus brothers will instead return in the form of a TV series. Duffy says, “We’ve been approached to do a possible Boondock Saints TV series. So the fans may be getting a part 3 as a television show. We might be able to pull that off. I actually called both Sean [Patrick Flannery] and Norman [Reedus] and they both said ‘hell yeah, we’ll drop everything.’”

Honestly, as much as I enjoy the original film, I feel like it’s a bit overrated, and I’m not entirely sure a TV series is all that necessary or exciting. I’m sure some die-hard fans will give me some flack for this, but that’s just how I feel. Of course, if the series ends up on HBO or AMC as Duffy anticipates it would need to be in order to allow the rough language and violence, then it might be worth a look.

With writer/director Troy Duffy’s sequel “Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day” hitting theaters today, I got to speak with the much talked about filmmaker at a recent press day here in Los Angeles.  We talked about the filmmaking process, the first films massive cult following, and the exchange rate in Canada.  Of course a lot of other subjects were discussed, so watch the interview after the jump and make sure to see “Boondock Saints II” this weekend.

I know that “Boondock Saints” has a very strong cult following.  I also know that the cool thing to do is to hate on the film (and its fans).  I’m somewhere in the middle.  I remember renting “Boondock Saints” right before it became huge and not really loving the film, but enjoying the more insane and campy aspects to it.  I also remember trying to work in Willem Dafoe’s awesome delivery of “There was a firefight!!” into every conversation for about 2 weeks. Anyway, it kind of blows my mind the film has such a strong cult following.  I’m indifferent when it comes to the original film and I feel the same way with the sequel. But I know that some of you guys out are anticipating it.  To those who are, you can check out some stills and the film’s poster when you hit the jump.

Red Band Trailer for BOONDOCK SAINTS II: ALL SAINTS DAY

I was hoping I could get one of the site’s other writers to do this story.  Someone who didn’t loathe “The Boondock Saints” as much as I do, but no such luck.  So now I have to hate this trailer apart.  I don’t want to.  I’m always open to the possibility that I may like a movie and that I misjudged the film.

And then one of the characters says “Let’s do some gratuitous violence,” and that pretty much sums up why I think the first movie is awful and why I think the sequel will be as bad if not worse.  Hit the jump to watch the trailer and then if you think these movies are great, say so in the comments and I’ll tell you why you’re wrong.  “The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day” somehow gets a theatrical release on October 30^th.
