“Dear Santa,” the Jack Black-helmed Christmas movie featuring Black as Satan is receiving backlash from Christians. The film focuses on a boy named Liam who writes a letter to Santa, but mistakenly addresses it to “Satan.” Trailers of the film feature Black confronting the young Liam after receiving his letter, announcing, “You lucked out big time because I’m way better than Santa.” He then offers to give Liam three wishes, but with a catch. “By the way, after you make your wishes, I’m taking your soul.”

The trailer, released by Paramount, features Liam and Satan getting into a number of situations, some relatively benign such as joining Post Malone on stage and others featuring more debauched activities like gambling. From the trailers, it appears Satan’s motive is to corrupt the young Liam, yet without much success. “I’ve tried everything. The kid’s incorruptible,” announces Satan. The film is rated PG-13, and despite its Christmas theme and young protagonist, it certainly gives off a much more adult aura.

Reactions to the trailer were mixed. “This is disturbing they are trying to normalize and make Satan look like a fun goofy character in this new Jack Black Christmas’s movie Dear Santa…. They are relentlessly going after the children…” wrote one user. “Jack Black aside, how about no movies where kids befriend demons,” wrote another.  “Hollywood and their obsession with Satan SMH,” another noted. Others pointed out their dislike for Black, particularly after the controversy that led to him canceling the rest of his Tenacious D tour. “Looks funny, but good luck at getting parents to take their kids after mocking an assassination attempt,” wrote a user.  Black canceled his band’s remaining tour dates in July after bandmate Kyle Gass lamented the failed assassination attempt against now President-elect Donald Trump. “Don’t miss Trump next time,” Gass said during a concert in Sydney, Australia.

Black has dabbled with satanic imagery throughout his career. His film, Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny features the bad going head-to-head with Satan in order to save their own souls. The film itself has been 15 years in the making according to IndieWire. “It’s a long-percolating movie, like all our movies,” Peter Farrelly told Entertainment Weekly. The film is set to be released November 25 on Paramount+ and other streaming services.
