Trailer and Distributor for 'Boondock Saints II'
I am sure some of you are interested... right?
The trailer for Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day has arrived online courtesy of IGN and news has also surfaced that Apparition will be the distributor of the film when it hits theaters on October 30. I had previously heard the date was going to be November 1 to correspond with the actual All Saints' Day, but a Sunday release doesn't really make a lot of sense. Then again, I am sure there are many that would say making a sequel to the original film — which I have no love for whatsoever — doesn't make a lot of sense, but that's the biz for you.
Apparition has started off with a curious slate of films beginning with Jane Campion's period piece Bright Star, the Blaxploitation feature Black Dynamite and now a sequel to a DVD cult hit. Not sure what their angle is, but they seem to have filled a gap.
The film is a continuation of writer/director Troy Duffy's 2000 tale of the vigilante MacManus brothers (Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flanery) following the brothers who come out of hiding to avenge a beloved priest who was hit by the Mob. Clifton Collins and Julie Benz join the ensemble.
You can watch the trailer directly below, and thanks to Anne Thompson for the news of the Apparition acquisition.
