EXCLUSIVE: The rebirth of the 1999 cult favorite film The Boondock Saints is upon us. Thunder Road, the producer behind the John Wick films, has stepped in and joined rights holder Dragonfly Films to make what they are calling a reimagining of the action film franchise about the fraternal twin Irish brothers who raise holy hell to rid their Boston hometown of all criminals.
In the current configuration, Troy Duffy will step aside as directing, after creating and helming the original and the 2009 sequel The Boondock Saints: All Saints Day. Both films starred The Walking Dead’s Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flanery as the MacManus Brothers, with Billy Connolly playing their father.
Reedus and Flanery will reprise their roles, and the story will involve the indoctrination of new ‘Saints.’ A search is on for a new director. Duffy plans to write a series of books about the Saints, continuing their story that way.
There might be a renaissance for these action franchises, with Amazon expecting big streaming returns beginning today on a reinvention of Road House with Jake Gyllenhaal. The plan here is to expand the action film into a universe.
Producing are Thunder Road Films’ Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee; and Dragonfly’s Todd Myers along with Shaun Redick and Yvette Yates Redick for Impossible Dream Entertainment. Troy Duffy & Don Carmody also produce. Reedus, Flannery, Charlie Morrison, Peter D. Graves and JoAnne Colona will be exec producers. Thunder Road produced the John Wick films and prequel series The Continental, and just opened Dev Patel’s action film Monkey Man to rapturous reaction at SXSW. Next up is Wick universe spinoff The Ballerina, directed by Len Wiseman and starring Ana de Armas and Keanu Reeves.
