U2’s The Edge Says He Wrote an 'Elf' Sequel Treatment, Not a Full Script

Overview

• Comedian Andy Richter recently said a completed Edge‑written Elf 2 script existed and that an intermediary contacted producer Shauna Robertson, a claim reported by multiple outlets but not independently verified.
• On Nov. 13–14 The Edge told CBS Sunday Morning that he wrote only a treatment for his own amusement and not a full screenplay.
• The Edge said he shared the treatment with a film‑producer friend and a few people, and he did not expect it to be taken seriously.
• Reports indicate the idea did not progress into production and Robertson has not publicly confirmed any development with The Edge.
• The episode highlights how celebrity ideas often circulate as informal, unproduced outlines and that a sequel would likely hinge on Will Ferrell’s involvement and any formal studio interest.
