Overview
- Andy Richter said on a recent episode of Obsessed: The Podcast that producer Shauna Robertson was contacted about a completed Elf sequel script written by U2 guitarist The Edge.
- Richter said Robertson agreed to meet but the proposed discussions "petered out," and the Edge’s script remains unreleased and unproduced.
- Richter also reported that writer Scot Armstrong produced a separate Elf 2 script that involved "evil South Pole elves kidnapping Santa," but that screenplay likewise never went into production.
- The claim rests on Richter’s account from his book research and podcast comments rather than direct confirmation from The Edge or Robertson, and reporters note the script’s timing and content have not been publicly verified.
- The report comes against a backdrop of caution from original cast and creators — including Will Ferrell’s past refusal to return for a sequel — and it follows The Edge’s prior, high-profile non‑band work in film and theater.
