While discussing the upcoming Faster, and his plans to direct Jayne Mansfield’s Car – a screenplay he himself has written – with Collider, Thornton revealed that he was game for a reprisal of the cult favourite character.
“There’s been talk of making a sequel to it, which I actually would like to do.”
With this Christmas proving notable for its lack of cinematic festive cheer – just because there is snow in Narnia doesn’t make its threequal a Christmas film – we can only hope that Thornton’s Willy returns to his trademark thieving ways sooner rather than later. There simply isn’t enough Billy Bob Thornton onscreen at the moment.
