Boondock Saints 2 begins shooting

We've been anxiously awaiting Boondock Saints 2: All Saint's Day for years, but forgive us if we were skeptical it would ever actually get made. Not only had director Troy Duffy pissed off seemingly everyone in Hollywood, but the movie had been in production hell so long that it was starting to tread into Chinese Democracy territory. Or maybe Duke Nukem Forever.

Regardless, you can imagine our shock and awe when our inbox suddenly contained news that not only had the film been greenlit, but it had actually begun production!  And for anyone keeping track, both Duke and Democracy look ready for public consumption, too. Apparently miracles do indeed happen.

Production for All Saints Day began on Oct. 20 in Toronto. No real word on who's financing the picture, distributing it, or when it will be in theaters, but it is definitely on its way. Most of the cast is back, too, including Billy Connolly, David Della Rocco and Brian Mahooney.  Willem Dafoe unfortunately seems out of the picture, but other than that, fans should be satisfied...for now. The story takes place 10 years after the first film and centers on the brothers' actions after being framed for the murder of a priest.
