I know he doesn’t appeal to everyone, but I’m a huge Will Ferrell fan. Now, having said that, I must admit that I wasn’t all that thrilled with Elf. Don’t get me wrong, it was pretty cute, but it lacked something.
Word on the street is that the machine is in motion trying to get an Elf 2 into production. Here’s what the good folks over at Cinema Blend are talking about:
According to Variety, Elf star Will Ferrell is currently trying to talk New Line into backing up the Brinks truck to secure him as the star of Elf 2: The Wrath of Leon. The good news there is that New Line is committed to getting Will on board before they even consider a second film; the bad news is that they’re considering a second film…
Ouch. This is a bad idea. Like I said, the first Elf was a pretty ok movie… but a sequel would be a disaster. Move on to fresh material Will.
