‘Dear Satan’ movie to change title after backlash
By Cynthia Montojo
“We want to extend our deepest apologies if title of our movie has caused any offense or discomfort…it was never our intention to hurt or disrespect anyone’s religious beliefs…our aim has always been to create content that entertains while conveying meaningful messages,” Producer Mavx Productions said in its open letter Christmas-themed movie initially titled “Dear Satan,” starring Paolo Contis and child star Sienna Stevens, will be changed to different title to “better reflect its intended message.”
Mavx Productions on Thursday posted its open letter on Facebook addressing several concerns raised by viewers regarding their upcoming film, set for release next month.
Mavx Productions said “Dear Satan” was produced to explore concept of “good vs. evil.”
Movie stars Paolo as Satan who accidentally receives letter from child that was supposed to be for Santa Claus.
As shown in its trailer, Paolo gets in touch with child named Chichi (Sienna), whom he tries to corrupt in any way possible. Surprisingly for him, he finds hard time corrupting innocent child’s mind even though he has subjected her to temptations, such as hoarding food or showing half-naked photos of men.
Instead of Chichi being influenced by ways of the world, she seemingly touched heart of Satan as he shows he cares for her when he entered church carrying her impassive body when she met accident.
Film is narrative about power of faith and triumph of good over evil…we wanted to illustrate that, despite presence of evil in the world, faith and virtue can prevail.
“We understand and respect concerns raised by our audience…in response, we have decided to change title of the movie to better reflect its intended message and to honor sensitivities of all our viewers…we believe this change will help align film more closely with its moral core and ensure it resonates positively with our audience,” production outfit added.
It also called on viewers to watch their film with “open mind and heart,” hoping viewers will be able to understand what they were trying to tell in the movie.
As of press time, production outfit has yet to reveal movie’s new title. It is scheduled for release on September 18.
