Broadgreen Pictures has released a new teaser poster and a crop of new stills from the upcoming Bad Santa 2, which continues the saga of Willie Soke, everyone’s favorite drunk santa. Billy Bob Thornton returns in the lead as Willie, with Tony Cox and Brett Kelly also returning. The film is directed by Mark Waters (Mean Girls) and also stars Kathy Bates and Christina Hendricks.
Bad Santa 2 is set to open in theaters November 23rd.
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.
