 News about Elf 2 Is Elf 2 on Will Ferrell's Wish List?
Variety reports that New Line is in talks with Will Ferrell to star in Elf 2. The original grossed an impressive $220 million worldwide.
"We're only going to make this if it's with Will," confirmed New Line production president Toby Emmerich. Ferrell would earn $20 million plus for the sequel.
Still up in the air is who will direct the movie. Original's helmer Jon Favreau has the right to look at a script first, but it's unsure whether he'll end up behind the camera for a sequel.
If Favreau doesn't return, New Line executive vice president of production Kent Alterman is said to be a favorite of Ferrell's for the director's chair.
Scott Armstrong (Old School), who did uncredited work on Elf, is expected to be tapped as the screenwriter for Elf 2.

That's quite a large paycheck for Mr. Ferrell! 
Elf was a really good movie, so I hope Will Ferrell considers doing it.

I was pretty sure this would happen early last year, but nothing was announced and I thought for once a studio actually made a smart decision on a sequel. I guess they didn't.
Who knows... Elf 2 might be as funny as the first.

Elf was funny, but it felt like a stand alone, but its Hollywood and hits = sequels. Also, that is a huge salary for Will Ferrell.

Can't wait. It'll put him back on track after Bewitched, Curious George, and Kicking and Screaming.
Now, if he does A Confederacy of Dunces, though, Elf 2 will put him bellllow track
