Last night at an all-media screening for The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, audience members - both fans who had lined up for blocks to get in to see the stars and director of this long-awaited sequel and journalists - were treated to a colorful Q&A session with the director of Boondock, Troy Duffy, and its stars Billy Connolly, Sean Patrick Flanery, and Norman Reedus.
After Duffy told the audience where the afterparty would be held, a journalist asked why there was so much time between movies. Duffy was somewhat discreet, replying, “There was a rather serious bit of litigation. We sued the people who financed Boondock I and a bunch of people that distributed it, as the movie was extremely financially successful and myself, the producers, and none of the actors saw a cent of that so me and CB [producer Chris Brinker] went after them.”
He went on to add, “When you’re writing for a sequel and there’s a movie that’s been deemed sacred ground by the fanbase that’s the predecessor, you cannot do anything to tread on that, so it’s a bit trickier than just being able to sit down and write something.”
