The third film in the Boondock Saints series has been confirmed and disputed many times, but it seems this time things will be moving forward. Deadline recently reported that Todd Myers’ Dragonfly Films is financing the film, and Reedus and Sean Patrick Flannery will executive produce with Nat McCormick and Myers.
Reedus and Flannery will reprise their roles as the MacManus brothers, who were in prison for their crimes last we saw. The third film will pick up as they are released from prison. There have been no other casting announcements for this film, but it will be interesting to see who else will be involved in this film.
Many years have passed since the MacManus brothers were on the outside, and things have changed during those years. How will they reacclimate to civilian life?
