## Summary

U2 guitarist the Edge has confirmed that he wrote a treatment for a possible Elf sequel, after actor Andy Richter said he had pitched the idea to a producer. The revelation surfaced during U2’s album rollout and matters mainly as an unexpected glimpse of the musician’s private creative hobby; no sequel is in production.

The Edge told journalist Anthony Mason he wrote the outline for his own amusement and had shared it with a few people, including producer Shauna Robertson. He said he sometimes wakes with a complete film idea in his head, and that the Elf concept came to him that way. Richter had described a plot involving South Pole elves kidnapping Santa, but the Edge did not confirm those details.
