Here's an update from actor Clifton Collins Jr., who is apparently one of the new Saints
For those too lazy to read, he says writer/director Troy Duffy has "one-up'd himself" with this sequel. More blood, maybe more F bombs, a lot more memorable scenes.
He also adds that this flick will be heading to theaters, unlike the first which mainly found its audience on DVD.
http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2009/05/19...tous-violence/“It’s a wild ride - and it’s even better than the first one,” “Star Trek” actor Clifton Collins Jr. told MTV recently, discussing the long-awaited sequel to Troy Duffy’s hyper-violent film about Irish brothers taking the law into their own hands. “I saw a rough cut on St. Patrick’s Day at Troy Duffy’s house, and he’s one-upped himself.”
“There are just as many memorable scenes, if not more,” the veteran actor said. “And I’m the new Saint.”
As fans should remember, writer/director Duffy rode a rollercoaster of fame, disappointment and regret with “Saints” (chronicled in the 2003 documentary “Overnight”) that resulted in a bare-bones release and the film being discovered largely on DVD. This time however, Collins promises us that “Boondock Saints II” will indeed play in theaters.
“It was going to be released on All Saints Day, because [the film] is called ‘All Saints Day’,” he said of the November 1st Christian holiday. “But now, what I’m hearing is they want to release it earlier, because it’s pretty hot.”
The flick pairs Collins with the returning Sean Patrick Flannery and Norman Reedus, and ends with a big finale featuring “Boondock” scene-stealer Billy Connolly. “My favorite scene would have to be the showdown with Billy Connolly and myself, Peter Fonda, Norman and Sean,” he said. “There’s a big showdown in a giant glass house. It’s like an Irish ‘Enter the Dragon’ finale.”
Collins was also quick to point out that, no matter how impossible it might seem, “All Saints Day” could be even bloodier and more profane than the first flick. “Yeah, I do believe Troy tried to one-up himself there,” Collins said, grinning. “I remember him bragging about [having more f-bombs]; I don’t know if he succeeded, but I know he got close…There are [a lot of curse words] in Spanish, he’ll get them in there somehow, I promise.”
