The soundtrack album sells less than 600 copies. "Saints" eventually plays for one week in five theaters.
BOONDOCK SAINTS BARTENDER GIF MOVIE
The finished movie is taken to the Cannes marketplace, where not one single offer is made to purchase it. Having dissed Keanu Reeves, Ethan Hawke and Jon Bon Jovi ("I didn't even know he was an actor"), he hires the excellent Willem Dafoe we see one scene being filmed, in which characters a lot like Duffy and his friends get drunk and go berserk. (Weinstein kills the movie/cancels the record because of Duffy)Įventually a Hollywood producer named Elie Samada, who has been behind some good films but is a controversial character, picks up "The Boondock Saints" for much less than the Miramax price, and Duffy is elated again. His family, we sense during one scene, has been listening to this blowhard for a lifetime, and although they are happy to share his success, they're sort of waiting to see how he screws up.
As he's acting out his ego trip, the camera shows the others in the room looking at him with what can only be described as extremely fed-up expressions. He keeps all of the money, tells the guys in the band they will get paid later, later tells them they don't deserve a dime, and still later tells them, "You do deserve it, but you're not gonna get it." He is deeply satisfied with himself: "We got a deep cesspool of creativity here," he says, and boasts "this is the first time in history they've signed a band sight unseen." Also, he might have reflected, sound unheard. At one point he actually says that Harvey Weinstein would like to be him. One of the subtexts of the movie involves how people look at Troy Duffy. What magic did the bartender have, to so bedazzle Harvey? By the opening scenes of "Overnight," Duffy has sold a $300,000 script, has been given a $15 million budget, has signed with the William Morris Agency, and brags, "I get drunk at night, wake up the next morning hung over, go into those meetings in my overalls, and they're all wearing suits." Being Hollywood agents, they are probably also more familiar with the danger signals of alcoholism than Duffy is. I'd give anything to see footage of the early meetings between Weinstein and Duffy. To celebrate his good fortune, Duffy asked two friends, Tony Montana and Mark Brian Smith, to make a documentary of his rise. Not only does Harvey buy his screenplay, but he signs Duffy to direct it, and the band gets a recording contract, and he agrees to buy the bar they'll own it together. After all, Harvey made Matt Damon and Ben Affleck stars by producing their screenplay of "Good Will Hunting." In Los Angeles, every bartender under the age of 70 has a screenplay and is in a rock band, and they all want Harvey Weinstein of Miramax to read their script. Sloan's on Melrose, and had written a screenplay titled "The Boondock Saints." He, his brothers and some friends had a rock band. He was a bartender at a sports bar called J. *The documentary tells the Hollywood story of a nine-day's wonder named Troy Duffy. You should read about what it took to make:
