U2's The Edge wrote a sequel to Elf.
The 2003 festive classic starred Will Ferrell as Buddy, a human who had grown up among Santa's elves before heading to New York City to connect with his biological father, and actor Andy Richter, who appeared briefly in the film and co-wrote the new book Elf Unwrapped: Behind the Scenes of a Modern Christmas Classic, has shared the "weirdest story" about how producer Shauna Robertson was alerted to the fact the U2 guitarist had written a follow-up film.
