Go inside the making of Netflix's Santa origin story, 'Klaus'
Several years ago, Netflix passed on Sergio Pablos' origin story about Santa Claus. "We found that what we thought was the film's strong point — it was an [animated] Christmas film — was a deterrent," Pablos tellsfranchise, was perplexed, given an appetite for origin stories at the box office.," recalls Pablos. "I thought, what a great storytelling exercise, to take a character that's already well established … and bring it to today's audience.
The idea for Jesper came from Pablos' search for the antithesis of Santa, who is a symbol of altruism. "Maybe my main character is someone who has to learn that lesson," explains the director. "That's when the idea of a pampered, self-centered postman came to me. I realized he has the potential to tell the story with a lot of humor and irony and heart."
Rashida Jones, who plays a teacher named Alva, approached the role "from a performance point of view but also a storytelling point of view," says the filmmaker. "She would come in and say, 'I don't think that's how she should say it,' and come up with something 20 times better."
