September 29, 200520 yr I was searchin for a quote and came accross this. I had heard there was supposed to be a sequel coming out like two years ago, but its pretty cool that there's gonna be another. Good to see they are finally getting it into production too. Not really too sure what they can do with it, but we shall see. No William Dafoe, but apparently another crazy cop/agent The long-awaited sequel to the Cult hit "The Boondock Saints" (1999) is finally gearing up for production, a few years shy of it's initial announcement. According to MTV, actor Clifton Collins Jr ["Light it Up"] has joined the cast, playing the best friend of the twin brother vigilantes, played by Sean Patrick Flannery and Norman Reedus. "I play Romeo; I'm more or less the third Saint," Collins said. "[We're] defending the world, killing off the bad guys." Writer/director Troy Duffy's "Boondock II : All Saints Day" will hit apparently go to theatres, no straight-to-video as the original did in many territories. The sequel - Co-starring Marley Shelton ["Sin City"] and Billy Connolly (Willem Dafoe was in talks, but his schedule didn't permit it), was chatted about on Aint it Cool - quite a few moons back, and even back then, director Duffy knew who he wanted for the follow-up. "There are two new roles that I am very excited about. Romeo (29yrs) is a Hispanic American who has an instant bond with the brothers. He has all the makings of a new Saint. I like Clifton Collins Jr. for this (Franky Flowers in Traffic, Last Castle, Tigerland, Replacement Killers, and starred opposite Samuel L. Jackson in "187"). He's been a buddy of mine for a long time and is an outstanding talent. I also believe he's got all the right charm to portray a wild ass like Romeo. The second is Eunice Bloom (30yrs) a FBI agent with a bi-polar disorder that feeds into her crime solving ability. I like a young actress named Marley Shelton for this. There are times when you just get a feeling on someone. I got the feeling with her." http://www.moviehole.net/news/6307.html
