More than 20 years after the group collaborated on “Shallow Hal,” the actor, 53, will reteam with Bobby and Peter Farrelly for the upcoming Christmas  feature.

The main character of the film is a young child who, while writing his annual letter to Santa, unintentionally delivers it to Satan. Black recently teased the undertaking on social media by posing for an empty shot with Christmas decorations.

According to sources cited by Deadline, Peter will produce alongside his brother and Jeremy Kramer, with Bobby Farrelly set to direct.

Together with Robert Timothy Smith, Keegan Michael-Key, Brianne Howey, Hayes McArthur, PJ Byrne, Kai Cech, Austin Post, and newcomer Jaden Carson Baker, the movie also features the aforementioned actors.

The Farrelly brothers and Ricky Blitt wrote the current draught of the script, which was based on an original concept by Dan Ewen.

Jack has had a tremendous acting career, appearing in blockbusters like “School of Rock” and “The Holiday,” but when he first began out, he thought he was a lousy actor.

He said: “I remember the first movie I ever did. I saw a rough cut, and I was like, ‘Oh, my god, I’m a bad actor. I’m horrible.’ And then, the editor just did some magic, and by the end, when it was released in theatres, I was like, ‘Oh, my god, I’m fantastic. I’m fantastic at acting!'”

Jack continued by saying that all the “magic” was performed in post-production and that editors deserved greater recognition for the work they do.

The ‘Kung Fu Panda’ actor said: “The editor trims away all the fat, which is a crucial job. People don’t celebrate the editor!”
