'Bad Santa' Horrifies Disney Honchos
Tue, Nov 18, 2003, 10:11 AM PT
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Billy Bob Thornton's Christmas movie is leaving Disney executives feeling a little less than warm and fuzzy. According to industry reports, studio bigwigs were "totally horrified" after a screening of "Bad Santa," going as far as to say that the film's content would have appalled the firm's founder, Walt Disney.
Thornton portrays Santa as a sex-crazed, foul-mouthed alcoholic.
Executives were reportedly further dumbstruck by images of Saint Nick having sex in a back room while children wait in line to sit in his lap. Then he tells the tots that he doesn't really exist.
"Bad Santa," produced by Disney offshoot Miramax, also includes a shoot-out, a murder and a police car chase. "This movie borders on being sick," reports an industry insider.
"Bad Santa," directed by Terry Zwigoff, hits theaters on Friday (Nov. 21).
