Thornton returns for Bad Santa 2

Christmas news happens through the year. Most of the festive flicks themselves are shot well into the Springtime. Just check out the lighting on some of these movies :)

Anyway. News has recentley surfaced that R-Rated Christmas feature Bad Santa (2003) is set to have a sequel called *drum roll* Bad Santa 2. Billy Bob Thornton is set to return in the lead role.

Thornton let the cat out of the bag during a panel at this year's SXSW festival where he was promoting his Willie Nelson documentary "The King of Luck." The actor has made no secret of his desire to play the alcoholic, safe-cracking department store Claus again, but it seems that a deal will now happen sooner rather than later.

Santa Claus Conquers The Martians,

Christmas movies are great, even though a lot of them are cheesy, badly produced and have all manner of weird cliches. However those elements are but the charm of festive films and in some cases the worsts ones are the best ones.

A personal favourite of mine which can be found in bargain bins, pound shops, dollar stores and roaming for free on Youtube is the 1964 cult-classic Santa Claus Conquers The Martians.
