Troy Duffy to direct serial killer thriller The Blood Spoon Council

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Troy Duffy, the writer/director of THE BOONDOCK SAINTS and THE BOONDOCKS SAINTS II: ALL SAINTS DAY who is also known for being the infamous subject of the documentary OVERNIGHT, is ready to head into production on his third film, a psychological thriller titled THE BLOOD SPOON COUNCIL.

Producer Scott Clayton of Oceanside Media will be fully financing the project, which will tell the story of 

a vigilante group of the same name that hunts down and executes serial killers. When the FBI commissions a rogue profiler to get inside the head of the group, the investigation is derailed by a game of cat-and-mouse.

That description is similar to THE BOONDOCK SAINTS, but with serial killers in place of mobsters.

Clayton says the film with feature "raw, unforgiving action". Duffy provided the following quote: 

I want to create an action packed psychological thriller with ‘Blood Spoon’ and I have held nothing back. 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."

This does sound interesting. I've never been a fan of THE BOONDOCK SAINTS, but I'm willing to give THE BLOOD SPOON COUNCIL a chance.
