Director Troy Duffy, the writer and driving force behind the 1999 feature film and its 2009 sequel, has offered up new details on a long-awaited new entry to the ‘Boondocks Saints’ franchise. The update comes via the official ‘Boondock Saints’ Instagram account. His update on the ‘Boondock Saints: Origins’ television series can be read in full below:
“BOONDOCK SAINTS: ORIGINS The TV series will be a rebooted origin story starting in present day. Rather than a retelling of the movies in TV form, the show will be a reimagining of the tale that will allow deeper exploration of the characters and elements of Boondock. Our story centers around Connor and Murphy MacManus, two fraternal twin brothers In their mid twenties who are living as illegal immigrants in Boston. Originally from Ireland, their idealized concept of life in America is confronted as they witness injustice and unfairness in the U.S. As the boys deepen their ties to their new community, they begin to protect it and we watch them rise into shadowy vigilantes that the press eventually dubs, “The Saints.” More to come… t.duff #boondocksaints #bdsOrigins“
More on this as it develops! In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled on the Official Boondock Saints pages on Facebook and Instagram.
I really hope you use the original brothers from the first & second boondock saints other wise I won’t be watching and neither will millions of other people.
