The Edge Wrote An Elf Sequel That Wasn’t Made For Some Reason

Andy Richter has revealed that U2 guitarist the Edge reportedly wrote a sequel to the 2003 Christmas film *Elf*. The unexpected detail has renewed curiosity about a follow-up to a film widely regarded as a holiday classic, though the sequel was never made.

Richter, who had a small role in *Elf*, discussed the project on *The Daily Beast’s Obsessed* podcast while promoting his recently released book about the film. He said Canadian producer Shauna Robertson was approached about discussing the Edge’s proposed sequel, which was reportedly fully written. Richter did not disclose its plot, and no clear reason was given for why the project fell through.
