Is This the Reason Why There Hasn’t Been an “Elf 2”?

“Elf” is considered a modern classic among Christmas movies, so it’s surprising there’s never been a sequel.

And now, we know why.

JAMES CAAN played Buddy’s biological father in the movie, and in a recent interview, he said, quote, “We were going to do it . . . but the director [Jon Favreau] and Will [Ferrell] didn’t get along very well.”

Apparently, Will wanted to do it . . . but apparently he wanted to do it without Favreau, but because of contractual obligations, it got too messy.

(The interview was with 92.3 The Fan out of Cleveland.  Skip to 15 minutes in.)
