The Boondock Saints director Troy Duffy has signed on to helm the thriller The Blood Spoon Council, his first film since 2009’s The Bookdock Saints II: All Saints Day.
The film will follow a vigilante group known as The Blood Spoon Council, who hunt down and execute serial killers. The FBI commissions a young, rogue profiler to get into the head of the group’s elusive leader. But their investigation is derailed when the whiz kid engages in a secret game of cat-and-mouse with a mastermind the likes of which he’s never seen.
“I want to create an action packed psychological thriller with Blood Spoon and I have held nothing back,” states Duffy. “All the killers and their crimes are inspired by actual serial cases. The mastermind of the Council is a one-of-a-kind character that will take a one-of-a-kind talent to portray him. The Blood Spoon Council may be dark but it is darkly beautiful, darkly exciting and it satisfies that devilish curiosity many of us have about serial killers and the uniquely gifted individuals who pursue them.”
“Troy has built an incredibly strong and loyal fan base following The Boondock Saints.,” added producer Scott Clayton of Oceanside Media. “Fans of his cult classic, both old and new, are in for a special treat with his latest film project, The Blood Spoon Council. He brings back the same raw, unforgiving action tangled with the kinetic storytelling that audiences know and love to his new film. With his extraordinary cinematic vision, Troy is poised to make an impactful resurgence in the industry.”
Duffy has spent a number of years trying to get a third Boondock Saints movie off the ground, and earlier this year revealed that he’d now shifted his focus to the small screen for the prequel TV series The Boondock Saints: Origins.
