The Boondock Saints 2

Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done

Endelig er de her igjen. Gutta boys. Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day har offisielt begynt filming i Toronto, USA. Det er nesten 10 år siden den første filmen kom ut (1999) og fansen har aldri gitt opp håpet om å få se en oppfølger. Selv var jeg ikke i ekstase da jeg så filmen, men syntes den var helt ok. Willem Dafoe var høydepunktet for meg. Sett i retrospekt så var jeg kanskje litt vel lunken, men jeg skylder på dagsformen og antall pinex innabords...

Jeg er i alle fall positiv til oppfølgeren og håper de er tro mot orginalens form og "farge". Plotet virker i alle fall interesant nok;

The boys (Norman Reedus, Sean Patrick Flanery) and their father Il Duce (Billy Connolly) have been living in seclusion, deep in Ireland on a sheep farm, away from everything, when Il Duce’s brother comes to tell them that a priest was murdered in Boston and it was set up to look like it was done by the Saints.

The boys rush back to deal with it, while they’re supposedly ailing father stays on the farm. There’s a new character who’s kind of the Rocco character named Romeo; funny, but much more bad ass. As soon as the brothers land, they start picking off anyone who may be tied to this framing. Willem Dafoe is not in the sequel, a new FBI detective comes into play — a female with a strong southern accent. She wants to catch the Saints and is working with some of the detectives in the first movie (like Bob Marley) who, as we know, decided the Saints were good and began helping them, but they don’t think she knows this, so they need to go with that. Eventually their father comes back into play and tells them what’s going on, which sets in motion a full-on flashback of the story of Il Duce from day one.

Not so though now, eh?

Ser meget bra ut. Vi håper Sony Pictures Studios klarer brasene.

En liten kuriositet forresten; Heath Ledger var opprinnelig tiltenkt en rolle som en av brødrene i den første filmen, men ble dumpet da det rett og slett var for vannskelig å finne noen som lignet nok til å spille broren.

For de som er interessert i videoer fra produksjonen så finner du mange på denne YouTube siden. Det ser i alle fall ut som om det blir nok skyting i denne filmen (se et stykke ut i filmen). Vel vel, vi gleder oss!
