CULVER CITY, CALIF. (January 15, 2010) – Writer/Director Troy Duffy’s much-anticipated sequel to the cult classic The Boondock Saints blasts its way onto Blu-ray™ and DVD March 9 when Sony Pictures Home Entertainment releases The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day. The tough, stylized, vigilante-justice saga follows the boys when they return to Boston after being framed for the murder of a priest. Joined by a new accomplice, the Saints exact vengeance on those responsible and at the same time, discover a deeper plot rooted in their own family’s legacy of violence. Joining original cast members Sean Patrick Flanery (TV’s “Stephen King’s Dead Zone”), Norman Reedus (Cadillac Records, American Gangster), David Della Rocco (Jake’s Corner), and Billy Connolly (The X Files: I Want to Believe) are Clifton Collins Jr.(Star Trek, Brothers), Julie Benz (TV’s “Dexter”), Peter Fonda (Wild Hogs, Ghost Rider), and Judd Nelson (The Breakfast Club, St. Elmo’s Fire).

SYNOPSIS:
From Troy Duffy, writer and director of The Boondock Saints, comes the much anticipated sequel to the tough, stylized cutting edge saga of the MacManus brothers (Norman Reedus, Sean Patrick Flanery).

When word comes that a beloved priest has been killed by sinister forces from deep within the mob, the brothers return to Boston to mount a violent and bloody crusade to bring justice to those responsible. With a new partner in crime (Clifton Collins Jr., Star Trek) and a sexy FBI operative (Julie Benz, TV’s “Dexter”) hot on their trail…the Saints are back!
