Renowned actor-comedian Jack Black will be joining the cast of Dear Santa, hailing from Farrelly Brothers (Bobby Farrelly and Peter Farrelly). The collaboration will mark a reunion of the actor and directors after the 2001 comedy Shallow Hal. 

According to Deadline, billed to be a Christmas comedy, Dear Santa will be directed by Bobby Farrelly, with Petre Farelly serving as a producer along with Bobby and Jeremy Kramer. 

Dear Santa revolves around a boy who mistakenly sends the yearly notes to Satan instead of Santa. Farrelly Brothers are currently writing the script with an original idea from Dan Ewen.
