Troy Duffy announces Boondock Saints 2, again

In honor of Saint Patrick's day, Troy Duffy announced Monday that a sequel to his cult classic Boondock Saints is on the way. In typical Duffy style, he released this information through a video on YouTube. Check it out here:

If Duffy is to believed here, he'll be filming the sequel this summer with the same cast as the original minus Willem Defoe.

Of course, one question that comes to mind is whether Duffy should be believed. The answer? Well, maybe. Duffy last released a video of this same kind back in 2006, promising that the sequel All Saint's Day was quickly moving forward. Of course, this never came to light...and was all too similar to what happened in 2002. Duffy is well-known for getting ahead of himself and also for wrecking his relationships with various studios.

Moral of the story: Take this all with a grain of salt. That being said, the announcement does sound like the most hopeful news on the project in years.
