ComicBook.comStory by Michael Hein

Jack Black dons red and white fur to play a devilish Santa in the Farrelly brothers' long-awaited Christmas comedy 'Dear Santa' on Paramount+.
beat sheet
- The Farrelly brothers have been working on this idea for 15 years, with the duo revealing that their classic comedies like 'Dumb and Dumber' and 'There's Something About Mary' also took years to get off the ground.
- The filmmakers landed on Jack Black to play Satan because they wanted someone who could pull off the 'diabolical, but in a fun way' vibe, with Black enthusiastically embracing the role and even sending the directors a homemade costume photo that inspired the final look.
