First look pictures from Jack Black's new movie Dear Santa has been released by Entertainment Weekly and the actor, who is known for his comedy roles, is now taking on a darker Satan role.
The upcoming Paramount+ comedy follows a boy who still believes in Santa and, determined to prove to his friends that he's real, writes a letter to Father Christmas. However, a spelling error leads him to accidentally summon Satan (Black).
While the full trailer is set to be released soon, the makers have released a short teaser of 18 seconds where his character was revealed. Dressed in a Santa attire, Jack Black is seen with horns. He then, in a sinister tone, asks, "What? You were expecting someone else?" before concluding with "Ho, ho, freakin' ho."
The film is directed by Bobby and Peter Farelly who have reunited after a long time. They are known for their work on their debut 1994 film Dumb and Dumber, starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. The brothers have been separately involved with films such as Green Book and Ricky Stanicky.
Apart from Jack Black, the film also stars Keegan-Michael Key, Brianne Howey, Hayes MacArthur, PJ Byrne, Jaden Carson Baker, Kai Cech and Austin Post.
Dear Santa is set to release on Paramount+ and Digital on November 25, 2024.
