Aye, fookin’ aye. It appears that, after lots of talk and eight years, Troy Duffy’s sequel to Boondock Saints has finally started its principal photography in Toronto. In attendance for Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day are Sean Patrick Flanery & Norman Reedus as fraternal twins Connor & Murphy MacManus, as well as Billy Connelly as the twins’ father, Il Duce. Somehow, the script also calls for David Della Rocco to appear in a dream sequence as his Rocco character, who is obviously quite dead at this point. The twins’ new sidekick, Romeo, is said to be quite like Rocco but much more “badass” and shall be played by Clifton Collins. The most bizarre addition, however, is the sequel’s new authority figure, who will certainly have some high-heeled shoes to fill in place of Willem Defoe’s flamboyant FBI agent. Duffy has cast Julie Benz as this female lead character, Unis Bloom.
