Billy Bob Thornton has let the world know his thoughts on the upcoming Bad Santa sequel.
Thornton has signed on to star in the follow-up to his 2003 comedy.
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter,
“We’re never gonna beat the first one, but you got to get as close as you can. You just can’t go and do it halfway so we’re waiting for something that’s close enough.
“It’ll do real well, I imagine, and people will say, ‘Well, it wasn’t as good as the first one’ and we’ll say, ‘Yeah, we knew it wouldn’t be’, but I think it should be fun and I think people who liked [the first one] will enjoy it and hopefully we’ll get it off.”
Bad Santa 2 will be directed by Doug Ellin, who is currently working on the Entourage movie.
An official release date has yet to be announced!
