Actors John Paul Tremblay, Robb Wells and Mike Smith have signed on for a third Trailer Park Boys feature film. They will reunite with director Mike Clattenburg, with production slated to begin in March 2013.
“We are all extremely pleased to be working together again on another Trailer Park Boys film,” says producer Barrie Dunn, in a news release.
“Although it’s been four years since our last film, Ricky, Julian and Bubbles are as popular as ever, even expanding internationally, and we’re delighted to bring them back to the big screen.”
Originally the concept of creator-director Clattenburg, Trailer Park Boys began as a short film starring Tremblay (Julian) and Wells (Ricky). It debuted to rave reviews at the 1999 Atlantic Film Festival. The premise: a camera crew chronicles the boys’ adventures living in the Sunnyvale Trailer Park in Dartmouth.
Recruiting Smith (Bubbles) to complete the haphazard trio, the idea spun off a mockumentary- style show, which ran for seven seasons and produced two TV specials on Showcase (2001-2008). The show was Showcase’s highest-rated Canadian program and airs in over 15 countries. Guest stars included Rush’s Alex Lifeson, Sebastian Bach and Rita MacNeil.
Ricky, Julian and Bubbles’ first full-length film Trailer Park Boys: The Movie hit theatres in 2007 and the follow-up Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day served as a finale to the series in 2009.
