Ricky, Julian and Bubbles will be back on home turf when Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day opens the Atlantic Film Festival. The follow-up to the TPB movie of 2006, itself spun off from the long-running Showcase series, will make its world premiere at the Halifax festival on Sept. 17, say organizers.

The comedy by director Mike Clattenburg ‘is the quintessential opening for us,’ said festival director Lia Rinaldo in a statement, ‘celebrating the most successful film and TV franchise on the east coast – while at the same time giving us the opportunity to pay tribute to such an amazing cast and crew.’

The picture is set for a wide release on Sept. 25 through Alliance Films. Robb Wells, John Paul Tremblay and Mike Smith again star as the low-rent losers who, released from prison, try to clean up their act. It was shot in nearby Dartmouth, NS.
