Broadgreen Pictures and Miramax have released two versions of the Bad Santa 2 trailer: one okay for general audiences and one definitely not safe for kids or for viewing at work. The holiday comedy reunites Bad Santa stars Billy Bob Thornton, Tony Cox, and Brett Kelly and is set for a November 23, 2016 theatrical release. Terry Zwigoff directed 2003’s Bad Santa with Mark Waters (Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, Mean Girls) directing the sequel starring Thornton, Cox, Kelly, Kathy Bates, Christina Hendricks, Ryan Hansen, Jenny Zigrino, and Jeff Skowron.
The Plot: 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.
