Miramax and Broad Green Pictures have announced that principal photography has begun in Montréal, Québec, Canada, on Bad Santa 2.

We already know Billy Bob Thorton is back in the title role as Willy and we know too that Tony Cox as Marcus and Brett Kelly as the amazingly named Sherman Merman are both back.

Now we know that Ryan Hansen (2 Broke Girls), Jenny Zigrino (50 Shades of Black), and Jeff Skowron (The Good Shepherd) are onboard too: “Hansen will play Regent Hastings, who runs a charitable organization with his wife Diane (Christina Hendricks). Zigrino and Skowron play security guards Gina and Dorfman, respectively.”

Interestingly. Kathy Bates (Misery) will play Willy’s tough-as-nails mom Sunny Soke.

The film will be directed by Mark Waters (Freaky Friday, Mean Girls) and is set for release on November 23rd, 2016.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
