Will Ferrell Walked Away From $29 Million For ‘Elf 2’ Because The Script Was “Not Good”
When it comes to modern Christmas classics, you can’t typically go wrong with suggesting the family sit around and enjoy “Elf.” The Will Ferrell comedy film was a massive success when it first hit theaters and has seemingly shot up the ranks of Christmas films, putting it shoulder-to-shoulder with “A Christmas Story,” “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation,” and even “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” This all makes it so surprising that 2003’s “Elf” was never given a sequel, which is also a time-honored Christmas film tradition.
