Misery star Kathy Bates has joined the cast of the soon-to-start-production Bad Santa 2 opposite Billy Bob Thornton. Who’s she playing? Well, none other than Sunny Soke, the mother of Thornton’s Willie Soke.
We don’t know too much more than that because the plot is being kept under wraps, but we do know that Mark Waters (Mean Girls) is directing and it will be release next holiday season – as in a year from now.
Johnny Rosenthal, Doug Ellin (Entourage) and Shauna Cross (If I Stay) wrote the script for the film, which starts shooting in Montreal, Canada in January.
The original Bad Santa was released to acclaim all of the way back in 2003.
