Variety is reporting that principle photography on Bad Santa 2 is expected to begin in January of 2016. A sequel to Billy Bob Thorton’s 2003 comedy has been rumoured for some time now. Miramax’s Zanne Devine had this white bread statement regarding the sequel:
“We’ve been waiting far too long to see Billy Bob’s Willie Soke mess with the holiday season in his own unique way.”
While that statement doesn’t exactly make us want to run out and see the film, the thought of Thorton reprising his role from the incredibly funny original does.
