Dexter’s Julie Benz in Boondock Saints 2

Dexter star Julie Benz has officially joined the cast of Troy Duffy’s Boondock Saints II: All Saint’s Day. Julie plays Unis Bloom, Paul Smecker’s (played by Willem Dafoe in the original film) protege, whom Duffy has described as a “Georgia peach”.

“She’s got that doc holiday accent, super super sexy. So she’s the one going after the saints and now working with these three officers. And she’s FBI.” … “She is that new story. She is one hell of a firecracker.”

Read more about the plot in our previous posting. Watch Julie answer some questions in the video blog after the jump, and check out the southern accent she will be using in the film. Thanks to /Film reader Christopher M for the tip.

    As a lifelong Southerner, an intelligent one at that, why do directors/writers insist on casting players in a role requiring a Southern accent, when they so clearly cannot execute it? I loved the film. I'm a Boondock junkie with the best of them. If Julie's from PA, why not just let her be from PA in the movie? That's about all the negative criticism I can muster for the film, but it grated on me every time she opened her mouth. And that's a shame, because she definitely was sexy. Hint, if you need sexy Southern, talk to Julie Roberts or Reese Witherspoon. Obviously no budget for them as actors, but maybe they could help you find someone.... eh. That's all I've got.

    Wow! Why all the hate? TBH, you're the first person I've ever heard who thinks the first one was shit. As for Troy Duffy, while his people skills may have been a little bit lacking during production of the first one, I hardly think that makes him a "talentless asshole". He has proven tenacious in bringing All Saints Day to fruition. Most of the original cast has returned and Julie Benz isn't exactly "desperate" for a role. I for one can't wait to see the final result.

    He's probably basing his opinion on the fact that the first one was shit and the director is a talentless asshole. He'll be gone for good after this one, thank god.

    there's nothing really out there to make you feel anything about the film...no production photos or any footage has been shown....you're a little quick to be judging this project so early in it's production...
