The Boondock Saints series is returning, with original director Troy Duffy and stars Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flanery coming back for Boondock Saints III.
The third film is written by Duffy alongside Flanery, while Reedus is said to have given “a lot of input,” according to Deadline. Filming will begin in May 2022.
“The fans have loved these characters for 20 years,” Duffy said. “They use terms of endearment like ‘the Brothers’ or ‘the Boys.’ We left them in jail at the end of Boondock 2 and fans want to know what happened to them. Norman and Sean have been a driving force to keep this franchise on track and break some new ground story-wise. The fans have been waiting. They literally ask about it daily…”
Flanery and Reedus play vigilante killer brothers Connor and Murphy McManus. In the third film, the brothers are older and they are headed into a world “that is not like the one they left.”
“One wants to continue, the other doesn’t. There’s a new enemy out there, not like the traditional ones they’ve faced,” Duffy said. “Without getting too deep into the story, what it is is, two boys coming out of prison after staying there much longer than expected, to a brand new world. They’re at odds on whether to push forward. But the type of people we face today in our society, is unlike any we’ve faced before. And that brings them together and they say, we cannot turn our backs on this.”
