Jack Black Reuniting With the Farrelly Brothers for Christmas Comedy DEAR SANTA
Jack Black (Nacho Libre, School of Rock) is reuniting with his Shallow Hal filmmakers, The Farrelly Brothers, for a new Christmas comedy titled Dear Santa, which is in the works at Paramount. Bobby Farrelly is set to direct, and Peter Farrelly is on board to produce with Bobby. Jeremy Kramer is producing the pic alongside the Farrellys.
The movie centers on a young boy, who in writing his yearly note to Santa, mixes up the letters and sends it to Satan instead. Black recently teased the project on social media when he posted a photo of him posing with some Christmas decorations with no context that got everyone talking about what it could be.
Featured alongside Black is Robert Timothy Smith, as well as a supporting cast that includes Keegan-Michael Key, Brianne Howey, Hayes MacArthur, PJ Byrne newcomer Jaden Carson Baker, Kai Cech, and Austin Post.
The current working draft is by the Farrelly Brothers and Ricky Blitt, with the original idea from Dan Ewen.
Black will next be seen in Universal’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie as the voice of Bowser, which will be released in April 2023. Coming up, he will be seen in Lionsgate’s Borderlands. This summer, Black and Kyle Gass will head out on their European Tenacious D tour.
