U2‘s The Edge has spoken out after an unlikely story emerged that he had written a sequel to Will Ferrell‘s Christmas comedy Elf.

Earlier this month, comedian and actor Andy Richter revealed that the guitarist had written an unproduced follow-up to the 2003 film, directed by Jon Favreau.

Richter, who appeared in Elf as children’s author Morris, explained that the film’s producer Shauna Robertson had been contacted about the U2 guitarist’s proposed sequel, but the project ultimately went nowhere.

Agora, The Edge abordou a história ele mesmo em uma nova entrevista com o CBS Sunday Morning.

He explained that coming up with film ideas was something he had experienced several times in the past.

Recalling his idea for Elf 2, he added: “This morning, I woke up with this idea in my head for a sequel to Elf.”.

The guitarist said he was a huge fan of the original film and had written down his ideas before discussing them with a friend who worked as a film producer.

The revelation appeared to come as news to the rest of U2, with Bono asking where the story had come from and declaring: “This is very big news.”.

Quando o vocalista se perguntou se Ferrell estava apenas agora descobrindo sobre a sequência proposta, The Edge riu: “Ele pode estar descobrindo agora.”.

Enquanto isso, U2 lançou seu 16º álbum de estúdio “Carnaval De Luz” ontem (13 de novembro), marcando seu primeiro disco completo de material novo desde “Songs Of Experience”, de 2017.

The album received a three-star review from NME, which praised the band’s renewed energy and concluded that “for the first time in a long time, U2 sound more playful than preachy”.

The Edge também recentemente falou com a NME sobre o álbum, descrevendo seus temas de otimismo e união como uma resposta a um mundo cada vez mais dividido.

U2 are preparing for 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.
