Bad Santa 2 is back after 13-years.
BackstageOL’s Dave Morales sat down with Tony Cox and Brett Kelly in this backstage interview to talk about their upcoming holiday comedy sequel Bad Santa 2.
The film, debuting 13-years following the first film, wasn’t an instant cult classic explained Kelly. “It took a couple of years for it to settle in. It was a decent hit whenever it first came out,” he said. “But once it kind of got some traction as being a Christmas movie that you saw every single year, that’s when it sunk it, ‘Oh, I think we might have done something good here.’”
When asked if the follow-up film is the feel good holiday movie of the year, Cox proudly stated: “I think so. This is Bad Santa 2 and we bring it.”
The film’s official synopsis:
BAD SANTA 2 returns Academy Award®-winner 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 Emmy Award-nominee CHRISTINA HENDRICKS, the charity director with a heart of gold and libido of steel.
You better watch out: BAD SANTA 2 is coming to town.
Bad Santa 2 hits theaters on November 23th. Watch the full interview with Cox and Kelly below.
