Christmas is the time for sharing and it's also the time for Christmas movies. The latest holiday movie is an offering from the Coen brothers of all people.

Bad Santa will go into production next year with a target release date set for the holiday season 2003. Santa follows a pair of con men who take the giving season to a whole new level. They dress up as Santa and his elf and move from mall to mall robbing the stores and patrons. Their scheme works without a hitch until they meet an unsuspecting kid who teaches them that stealing at Christmas is wrong.
