New Trailer Park Boys Movie

GUESS WHO’S OUTTA JAIL? AGAIN!

TRAILER PARK BOYS 2 BEGINS PRINCIPAL PHOTOGRAPHY

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Halifax – August 27, 2008 – Alliance Films is pleased to announce that the sequel to the box office record breaking TRAILER PARK BOYS – THE MOVIE commenced principal photography in Halifax on August 25th, 2008.  TRAILER PARK BOYS 2 is helmed by writer-director Mike Clattenburg, co-written by John Paul Tremblay, Robb Wells, Mike Smith and Timm Hannebohm and produced by Barrie Dunn, Michael Volpe and Mike Clattenburg.  Alliance Films will distribute the film across Canada.

TRAILER PARK BOYS 2 begins with Julian, Ricky and Bubbles newly released from jail and brimming with optimism about their prospects for the future. However, when they return to Sunnyvale, they encounter a leaner and much meaner Park Supervisor Jim Lahey who has some big changes in mind for the park, changes that don’t exactly go over well with the Boys, who will now face their biggest test since Grade 10.

The Trailer Park Boys began their rise to national and international fame when producer Barrie Dunn convinced writer/director Mike Clattenburg to turn an award-winning short film into the basis for a television series and in 2001, “Trailer Park Boys” debuted on Showcase Television and was later picked up in the US by BBC America. The series is distributed by Alliance Films on DVD in Canada.  After six successful seasons, the boys made the leap to the big screen where their debut achieved the biggest opening weekend box office in Canadian film history. 

Alliance Films will release the film across Canada in October 2009.  Commenting on the start of photography, Victor Loewy, Chairman and CEO, Alliance Films said, “The Trailer Park Boys are funny and profane, the perfect anti-heroes. We are delighted that they and the talented production team have agreed to make the sequel. I’m confident that audiences will love this story which is even more outrageous than the last movie.”
