Back in November of 2013 Billy Bob Thornton spread a little Christmas cheer by stating that a follow-up to the 2003 cult comedy Bad Santa was set to shoot “next year”, and while that obviously didn’t materialise writer-director Doug Ellin (Entourage) has revealed that Bad Santa 2 is still very much alive and he’s hoping to start production in 2015.
“I’m supposed to do Bad Santa 2 in September,” Ellin tells Collider. “The exact status is we’re working on the script right now and if we get it right we’ll shoot in September or October. Billy Bob is back and good to go, and that’s the status. [Hard R] Hopefully a similar tone to the first one. That’s the goal.”
