Jack Black is Satan as Kris Kringle

“Dear Santa” has been 15 years in the making for Bobby and Peter Farrelly.

During this time, the brothers parted ways for solo careers, with Peter Farrelly winning Best Picture for Green Book. Now, a decade after last collaborating on 2014's Dumb and Dumber To, the Farrelly Brothers are back together for a subversive new holiday film starring Jack Black.

Black plays Satan, summoned by a child (Robert Timothy Smith) who accidentally sends his letter to Santa Claus to the underworld. Keegan-Michael Key, Brianne Howey, Post Malone, Hayes MacArthur, Jaden Carson Baker and Kai Cech star.

Ricky Blitt (“Loudermilk”) co-wrote the screenplay with Peter Farrelly; Directed by Bobby Farrelly. Last year, during an interview for his solo work Champions, Bobby Farrelly told IndieWire, “It's a much crazier comedy than that, closer to what we originally did, I think.”

“It's a long-winded film, like all of our films,” Peter told Entertainment Weekly. “By the way, 'Dumb and Dumber' took five years to produce. “There's Something About Mary” was a 10-year-old script when we rewrote it. “Kingpin” was an old script when we rewrote it. It takes a while for them to get there and that was the case with this one.”

Bobby added that the casting for “Dear Santa” was crucial. “We never wanted to make it a horror movie or anything like that,” Bobby said. “We wanted it to be weird. So it was a delicate matter to play this iconic character but do it in a way that the audience can enjoy. And Jack was the perfect guy. Jack is just the guy who always seems a little mischievous with his arched eyebrows and his face and all that, but he's extremely likeable, and that's just Jack.”

Bobby went on to say that “Dear Santa” is a typical Farrelly brothers film. “It’s a family story because it’s Christmas. But you know what? “Pete and I, we're the Farrelly Brothers, so we wanted to do our twisted version of a Christmas story like that, but at the same time we don't want to just blow it up,” he said. “We wanted everything to have a sweetness to it, so this is the Farrelly Brothers Christmas movie.”

“Dear Santa” is produced by Kevin Barnett, Pete Jones and Gretel Twombly. The Farrelly brothers and Jeremy Kramer are producers.

Peter recently directed the comedy Ricky Stanicky. He will also direct a film inspired by the true story of how author and actor Sylvester Stallone made his iconic 1976 Oscar winner “Rocky.” The film is titled “I Play Rocky” and follows “a struggling actor with a partially paralyzed face and a speech impediment who writes a script that a major film studio wants to buy but refuses to sell it unless he is allowed to play the main role.” . He turns down a life-changing offer of money and instead works for pennies to get the film made with himself in the lead role.”

“Dear Santa” premieres November 25 on Paramount+ and digital. Check out the trailer below.
