Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Bad Santa has become a bit of a holiday regular around my house. The movie is a black comedy masterpiece for those of us who appreciate vulgarity covering what is at its core a sweet story.
Bad Santa 2 is a big question mark right now. Without the Coen Bros helping with the script and Terry Zwigoff behind the camera, can the sequel possibly live up to the original?
I guess we'll find out soon. The film is coming this November and we've just gotten our first look via the first poster and a collection of stills, which feature Billie Bob Thornton's Willie (I probably could have worded that better...) with some familiar faces.
Check 'em out:
I have some concerns with the sequel, but I'll be damned if I don't want to see Willie and Marcus at each others throats again. Also, not pictured is Kathy Bates, who will be playing Willie's mom, Sunny Sokes or Willie's new romantic obsession, a charity director played by Christina Hendricks.
Hopefully this one works! We'll know more when the trailer hits, which I assume will be soon.
