Released by Broad Green Pictures and Miramax, the upcoming sequel to the 2003 surprise hit sees Willie Soke (Thornton) don the Santa costume for more mad capers.
This time he teams up with his estranged mother Sunny (Bates) as well as his former partner Marcus (Tony Cox) to rob a Chicago charity on Christmas Eve.
The amicable albeit dopey Thurman Merman (Brett Kelly) is also back. New characters, played by Ryan Hansen and Christina Hendricks, include Regent and Diane Hastings, a married couple who run the charity.
Bad Santa 2 is directed by Mark Waters whose credits include Mean Girls and Freaky Friday (2003) but also Ghosts of Girlfriends Past so who knows what this film holds in store…
As long as it makes us laugh though, we’re happy.

The film is due to hit Irish cinemas on November 25th.
