The Edge Says He Wrote an Unproduced Elf Sequel Treatment
The Edge, U2's guitarist, has addressed a story that he wrote an unproduced follow-up to the 2003 film Elf, which was directed by Jon Favreau.
Comedian and actor Andy Richter revealed earlier this month that the U2 guitarist had written an unproduced follow-up to the 2003 film Elf, which was directed by Jon Favreau. Richter appeared in Elf as the children's author Morris and said that the film's producer Shauna Robertson had been contacted about the guitarist's proposed sequel, but the project ultimately went nowhere.
The Edge addressed the story in a new interview with CBS Sunday Morning. He said he had written a treatment, not a script, for his own amusement. He said he woke up with the idea for a sequel to Elf in his head that morning. Bono asked where the story had come from and declared that it was very big news.
U2 released their 16th studio album, Carnaval De Luz, on November 13, their first full-length record of new material since 2017's Songs Of Experience. NME gave Carnaval De Luz a three-star review, praising the band's renewed energy. The Edge described the album's themes of optimism and togetherness as a response to an increasingly divided world.
U2 are preparing their The Greatest Show On Earth world stadium tour in 2027, which will visit Latin America and Europe. Wolf Alice will support the UK and European dates, including four concerts at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in June.
