## Summary

U2 guitarist The Edge reportedly wrote a complete screenplay for a sequel to the 2003 Christmas comedy Elf and approached producer Shauna Robertson about his ideas. The story, shared by co-star Andy Richter, offers an unusual glimpse of a sequel proposal that never moved forward.

Richter said Robertson agreed to meet The Edge, whose real name is David Howell Evans, but the meeting never took place and the idea “just petered out”. He did not say what the script contained, and added that he prefers the original film to stand on its own rather than get a sequel.
