BAD SANTA 2 Movie

A "Bad Santa" sequel has been a tantalizing possibility ever since Willie Stokes (Billy Bob Thornton) survived a shooting at the hands of the police department and became its sensitivity trainer. Now that sequel has moved closer to fruition.

Producers on the movie and Dimension Films, which is developing a follow-up to the beloved 2003 black comedy with the newly constituted Miramax, have quietly hired writers to begin working on a new film for Thornton to star in, according to a person who was briefed on the project but was not authorized to talk about it publicly.

And here's the hook: The companies are engaging in the unusual move of commissioning two different writers, with the idea of choosing between the scripts or even using one script for "Bad Santa 2" and the other script for a third film. (The two writers do know about each other.) A spokeswoman for Dimension Films confirmed the hires and the plans.The movie is being produced by Geyer Koskini,Thornton's manager who produced the original and has been developing the sequel for several years.

The scribes in question are up-and-comers who've yet to have a film produced but who have some heat in Hollywood. One, Johnny Rosenthal, wrote a period adventure called "Iron Jack" that sold to Sony for more than $1 million in 2009 but has been stuck in development since.

The other, John Phillips, sold an R-rated comedy to Universal a few months back. That project is called "Dirty Grandpa" and is about a "recently widowed, sexually aggressive grandfather," which sounds about as "Bad Santa"-ish as you can get.
The Weinstein Company is planning a movie sequel to Bad Santa the 2003 comedy movie. Actor Billy Bob Thornton is set to reprise his role as Willie. There's no official release date yet.

Here's the movie trailer of the first Bad Santa movie:

I wonder if the fat kid will reprise his role. Would be funny. Well, let's hope he will have a cameo at least.

Actor Billy Bob Thornton is officially in talks to star in the comedy sequel Bad Santa 2 for The Weinstein Company.

We reported in December that The Weinstein Company is joining forces with Disney-owned Miramax for sequels to Bad Santa, Rounders, Shakespeare in Love and a few other Miramax projects. Producers Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein previously ran Miramax before Disney took over the company and retained the name, which lead to the brothers forming The Weinstein Company. Here's what a Weinstein Company spokesperson said about this particular sequel.

"We feel that it's a Christmas perennial for the R-rated crowd. Everyone loves the character and Billy Bob is excited to be in talks with us."

It isn't clear when filming will start on Bad Santa 2, or if Bad Santa director Terry Zwigoff will return to helm the sequel. It also isn't known if a writer has been hired to write the script for Bad Santa 2.

Bad Santa 2 comes to theaters in 2012 and stars Billy Bob Thornton.
