First Trailer for BAD SANTA 2 Starring Billy Bob Thornton Bad Santa 2 returns Billy Bob Thornton to the screen as America’s favorite anti-hero, Willie Soke. Fueled by cheap whiskey, greed and hatred, Willie teams up once again with his angry little sidekick, Marcus (Tony Cox), to knock off a Chicago charity on Christmas Eve. Along for the ride is ‘the kid’ – chubby and cheery Thurman Merman (Brett Kelly), a 250-pound ray of sunshine who brings out Willie’s sliver of humanity. Mommy issues arise when the pair are joined by Academy Award, Golden Globe and Emmy-winner Kathy Bates, as Willie’s horror story of a mother, Sunny Soke. A super butch super bitch, Sunny raises the bar for the gang’s ambitions, while somehow lowering the standards of criminal behavior. Willie is further burdened by lusting after the curvaceous and prim Diane, played by Christina Hendricks, the charity director with a heart of gold and libido of steel. Bad Santa 2 opens on November 23, 2016.
The original was one of my favorites of all time. They had better keep this rated R, if they fuck this up, shame on them. Some things are sacred. Otherwise it will look like this.
I avoided the first movie for years because I didn't think I'd get into it. I'm a traditional kind of guy around the holidays and Bad Santa is anything but a traditional kind of Christmas movie. Nevertheless, I finally sat down and watched it and thought it was hilarious and surprisingly sweet. The trailers for this one aren't doing anything for me, though. It seems like too little too late, and also feels like a bunch of guys who got together again because they needed the money.
Different writers, Terry Zwigoff not directing this. There is no reason to think this will be any good and the trailers confirm that.
I dunno, there are other good writers and directors out there. It might suck but I'm not writing it off just yet. But WTF where's the "f*ck me Santa" chick?
Loved the first one and was looking forward to this til I saw the Red Band trailer I'll wait til its on tv
Loved the original. Watch it every year. I'll rent this from Redbox if it doesn't get decent reviews. 10 years ago, I would have been in the theater for something like this, guaranteed. Now, I'm a little snobbier. Zoolander 2 came and went. I still haven't seen it. I did catch Paul Blart 2, though. So bad, it was actually kinda good.
Man I hope this doesn't completely suck. I remember how stoked i was for dumb and dumberer when that trailer came out and that movie was shit.
