## Key points

- The Edge reportedly wrote a full Elf sequel script.
- A meeting with producer Shauna Robertson went nowhere.
- Elf 2 is not officially in development.

## Summary

U2 guitarist The Edge reportedly wrote a complete script for a sequel to the Christmas film Elf, but the project never got beyond an attempted meeting with a producer. The story, shared by actor Andy Richter, offers a glimpse of an unexpected creative idea, though there is no indication the script will be made into a film or released.

Richter said producer Shauna Robertson told him that The Edge had contacted her while she was in Europe and wanted to discuss his sequel script; when this happened is unclear. The meeting led nowhere, and Elf 2 has not been officially announced. Will Ferrell has previously said he was wary of making a sequel because he felt the original was special and risked being diminished by a follow-up.
