Bad Santa 2 Official Teaser

 

While promoting his upcoming Amazon original series Goliath, Billy Bob Thornton fielded some questions from reporters about his role in the highly anticipated sequel, Bad Santa 2. We got the first teaser for the film not too long ago, but here, the actor reveals that they’ve gone a little farther this time, which means it’s going to get a lot nastier.

Thornton said “I think we pushed it even a little further this time, not only in the sort of dark humor but also in the emotion. This one has more of a heart, more of a story you would say, but it also went a little further with some of the nasty stuff.”

Bad Santa did push the envelope a bit back when it was released, but over the years, comedy in film has continued to break through new boundaries, a fact that Thornton is well aware of.
Directed by Mark Waters and also starring Kathy Bates and Christina Hendricks, Bad Santa 2 will swagger into theatres on November 23rd, 2016.
