The movie business is soon to release several movies showing the tough side of Santa<\/a>. Sony Pictures<\/strong><\/a> is soon to release Winter’s Knight<\/em>, a take on the Viking tradition of Santa<\/a>. Other filmmakers are working The Anti-Claus<\/strong><\/a>, a film about the dark figure of Krampus of European tradition. But none of the big screen projects under development sounds more ambitious or image-changing for Santa<\/a> that what resides in the mind of Glenn Beck, who plans to release his tale “Immortal” in 2016. <\/p>\n

Beck claims the inspiration for his based-on-nothing-real story for Santa<\/a> comes from seeing his children obsess over Santa<\/a>, elves and gifts one Christmas<\/a> and bemoaning their lack of attention to Jesus Christ. If only he could make those two worlds collide. <\/p>\n

Of course, being Glenn Beck, the critics are already shredding him. Salon<\/em> calls his story horrifying<\/a> and Inquisitr.com<\/em><\/a> can only remind you that the story is going to be hard on kids. <\/p>\n

In Beck’s story, Santa<\/a> is alive and well before the birth of Christ and is a father himself. As a hunter and a gatherer Santa<\/a> suffers a tragedy when his son is devoured by wolves, which leaves him on a wandering path of grief. On this journey of despair he finds work with three wise men and is paid to protect their bounty of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Of course, his path collides with that of the Christ child, who he follows through out life. Here is Beck’s preliminary preview of the project: <\/p>\n
