'Boondock Saints' sequel slotted for Oct. release

The team from the set-in-Boston 2000 indie flick "The Boondock Saints" plan to release a sequel called "The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day" on Friday, Oct. 30.

The stars of the movie--Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus--return as the McManus brothers, fraternal twins on a mission to clean up the Boston underworld while being tracked down by a FBI agent.

Principal photography for "Boondock Saints II" wrapped in Toronto, and unfortunately didn't film in Boston, with writer-director Troy Duffy at the helm.

While in hiding with their father, played by Billy Connolly, the brothers learn a beloved priest has been killed by sinister forces from deep within the mob and return to Boston to mount a violent and bloody crusade to bring justice to those responsible.

Steve Bersch , president of Apparition and Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group, announced the sequel's release last week.

"The reaction to the filmmakers and cast at Comic-con was phenomenal," Berney says in a statement. "There have been rumors about a sequel for years and they've delivered a solid follow-up with lots of surprises for the fans."
