Ever since the original “Boondock Saints” had been released way back in 1999 and won over the viewers in a big way to carve a niche as a Indie cult classic, ardent fans of the franchise have forever looked forward to another installment of the movie to hit the big screen.

After years and years of waiting (exactly 10 to be precise), it seems like their wish is going to materialize in to reality. Though the makers were secretive about it, there were hushed rumors and now there is the trailer of the sequel now, to confirm the news of the movie’s late October release.

The new movie is titled “Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day.” As the scheduled release date is nearing, a host of trailers have hit the surface everywhere. The sleek action flick is directed by Troy Duffy and stars Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus among others.

The promotional merchandise for the movie also includes introducing two Action Figures of the two MacManus brothers (the action leads in the original movie). Seems, this time the movie promises a whole lot of excitement, even pre-release. The action figures are certain to catch the attention of the fans in a major way and generate a lot more curiosity for those who haven’t watched the original; a certain lure to beckon viewers to the theaters.

The pre-orders for the figures are taken from now onwards and they come in at $28.99. With the exhibits already out on display, the excitement seems almost palpable, surrounding the entire “Boondock Saint II” release.
