All I Want For Christmas

If there's one thing guaranteed to put the fear of God into your nipper, it's being confronted by a bearded Billy Bob Thornton when they were expecting Father Christmas. Nevertheless, it looks as though Angelina's beau will be taking the fat and jolly route next year, slipping into the festive regalia for his role in Bad Santa. Directed by Ghost World's Terry Zwigoff, the film will star Thornton as one half of a conman team who go on road trips to shopping malls dressed as Santa and one of his elves. Taking a rather progressive approach to festive cheer, the pair are taking presents rather than leaving them, robbing the malls before disappearing back up the chimney with their ill-gotten gains. All this changes however, when a morally rigid 8-year-old teaches them the error of their ways. Bad Santa should be ready to fill your stocking sometime next year. Let's just hope old Billy Bob doesn't upset the young'uns by telling them what scary-ass presents he wants for Christmas. Please note: Empire Online does not wish to imply that Santa Claus is in any way a made-up figure. He will of course be delivering your presents in his usual jolly fashion this Christmas Eve as he always does.
