Bad Santa 2 reunites the crew of Willie (Billy Bob Thornton), Marcus (Tony Cox), and Thurman Merman (Brett Kelly) as they attempt to swindle a Chicago charity on Christmas Eve. Yep, they’re that deplorable, but the normal crew isn’t enough this time, so the group will enlist the help of Willie’s mother, Sunny Soke, played by the talented Kathy Bates. Somewhere down the line Willie also encounters Diane, played by Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks.
The film is set to hit theaters next month, but fans of the Christmas season know that right after Halloween is when stores, cities, and towns start decorating for Christmas. Those decorations will also involve Bad Santa, and we’ve got an exclusive look at some of the new art assets that you’ll be seeing on your daily commute.
You can view the new art in the gallery.
The original Bad Santa starred Thorton, Cox, and Kelly, but also featured Lauren Graham (Sue) Bernie Mac (Gin), and John Ritter (Bob Chipeska). The film was released in 2003 and made over $60 million at the box office domestically on a $23 million dollar budget. Bad Santa totaled over $76 million worldwide.
Bad Santa 2 hits theaters on November 23.
