\nWriter-director Troy Duffy based the story for\u00a0The Boondock Saints<\/em> <\/i>on things he saw when he was working as a bartender in Los Angeles, including watching a drug dealer steal money from a dead body. The film also opens with the story of Kitty Genovese, a young woman who was murdered in Queens in 1964 and whose story has become a bit of an urban legend after it was widely (but inaccurately) reported that, despite her cries for help and dozens of witnesses, no one came to her rescue.<\/p>\n
\nLike most artists, Duffy had a very clear vision for the film. This led to some contentious meetings with potential collaborators, including getting into an argument with Ewan McGregorover the death penalty during their first meeting. Duffy\u2019s volatile personality ended up costing him his deal with Miramax, leading him to have to shop the film around to other distributors. Eventually, the film was picked up by Franchise Pictures, despite the negative chatter now surrounding both Duffy and his movie.<\/p>\n
\nWhen asked whether a third film might be coming during a Reddit AMA last December, Norman Reedus, who played Murphy MacManus (and, more famously, is The Walking Dead<\/em>\u2019s Daryl Dixon), responded, \u201cYeah it\u2019s on. In the works, happening.\u201d Though no official announcement of it has been made, that hasn\u2019t stopped some outlets from reporting on what it might look like.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
