Richter, who played children’s author Morris alongside Tenacious D’s Kyle Gass in Elf, has written a new book about the making of the film.

While promoting Elf Unwrapped: The Making Of A Modern Christmas Classic on an episode of Obsessed: The Podcast, he said that the film’s original producer Shauna Robertson was contacted by The Edge (real name David Howell Evans) about a script he’d written for an Elf 2.

Ele repetiu a anedota enquanto falava no Page Six Radio. “It just, as so many things do, fizzled out,” ele disse sobre o projeto.

Elsewhere on Obsessed: The Podcast, Richter revealed that The Hangover Part 2 writer Scot Armstrong also wrote a script for Elf 2 after working on the original film.

Sua sequência teria mostrado “evil South Pole elves kidnapping Santa”, mas nada disso aconteceu.

Richter also said that he doesn’t believe a sequel should be made. “Now that time has passed, the movie has become so special that I think that people, rightfully so, are loath to mess with it because we all can think of movies that have been tarnished by their sequels.

E isso é tão especial, tão perfeito e tão amado… Por que arriscá-lo.

Meanwhile, U2 are preparing to release their 16th studio album ‘Carnaval De Luz’ on November 13, ahead of a massive 2027 world tour. Last week, U2 kicked off their ‘Carnaval De Luz’ era with an intimate gig at London’s Tate Modern Museum following their recent 50 year anniversary celebration gigs in Dublin in September.
