Murphy and Connor MacManus are returning.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Boondock Saints 3 gets a new update, confirming that the project is moving forward with two original stars, but without the original director. Hitting theaters in 1999, The Boondock Saints stars Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flanery as two Irish Catholic brothers from Boston who embark on a religious mission to take out the city's notorious criminals.
Now, Deadline shares a new update on The Boondock Saints 3, revealing that the sequel is moving forward at Thunder Road with both Reedus and Patrick Flanery returning. The movie, which has been dubbed a "reimagining," will not include the return of Duffy to the director's chair, with the filmmaker choosing instead to continue his vision of the franchise through a series of novels.
Why The Boondock Saints 3 Being A Reimagining Is For The Best The Franchise Could Use A Soft Reboot 1999's The Boondock Saints earned only about $30,500 during its theatrical run, making the film, which is budgeted at $6 million, a flop. As seen in the chart below, the film didn't fare well with critics either, but eventually became a hit with audiences and earned its cult classic status.
The Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day ends on something of a cliffhanger, and the new film, despite being a reimagining, can still address this. The sequel ends with Murphy and Connor in prison, and the third film doesn't need to retcon this. Willem Dafoe's Smecker, after all, made clear his plans to free the brothers from prison, and this could have just happened off-screen.
The Boondock Saints is currently available to stream on Prime Video, while the sequel is streaming on PlutoTV.
