ComingSoon spoke with Bobby & Peter Farrelly about their new movie Dear Santa. The Farrelly brothers talked working with Post Malone & more.
The Farrelly brothers are back with a new Christmas movie. The comedy legends behind hits like Dumb & Dumber and There’s Something About Mary teamed up for Dear Santa, which stars Jack Black. The film, directed by Bobby Farrelly , is now streaming on Paramount+ and is available to own on digital.
Tyler Treese: Bobby, Jack Black is just so naturally likable. He could be doing the worst things, and the audience is still gonna get a kick out of it. So, how was it finding the right tone for his version of Satan here?: Well, you’re absolutely right. Jack Black was the perfect guy for us. Because we wanted that. Obviously, the young kid writes a letter to Santa, but he misspells it, and it goes to Satan. So Satan, played by Jack Black, shows up at Christmastime, and comedy ensues.
First of all, like Bobby said, you have Satan at Christmas. We wanted to do a family movie, but we wanted it to be PG-13. We didn’t want it to be PG because this isn’t for little kids. Just to be clear, it’s not for 4, 5, 6, or 7-year-olds. It’s 11-year-olds and up. But we also want it to be for adults. So, honestly, it took us 10 years to get it right. Not that we were working on it the whole time, we went off and did other things, but it was just in the last year or two that we figured it out.
