Will Ferrell Turned Down An ‘Elf’ Sequel For A Good Reason
November 6, 2021 10:00AM CDT
During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Will Ferrell revealed that he turned down $29 million to come back for an Elf sequel.
According to Ferrell, he turned down the sequel because the story was similar to the original 2003 film.
I would’ve had to promote the movie from an honest place, said Ferrell. It would’ve been like, ‘Oh no it’s not good, I just couldn’t turn down that much money.’
When Elf was released it was a huge hit raking in $223 million at the box office and becoming a Christmas classic.
