Will Ferrell turned down the opportunity to do an “Elf” sequel, even though he was going to be paid $29 million… because the script was too similar to the original.
The Buddy costume from 'Elf' sold for nearly $300,000 at an auction, blowing away the expected price. https://t.co/frh0QXPaUH

Will said, quote, “I would have had to promote the movie from an honest place, which would’ve been, like, ‘Oh no, it’s not good… I just couldn’t turn down that much money.’
“And I thought, ‘Can I actually say those words? I don’t think I can… so I guess I can’t do the movie.”
