Summary The Pop Tart is an iconic part of breakfast, though not necessarily a nutritionally balanced one. The story of this toaster pastry's development gets the rare 'comedy biopic' treatment via Unfrosted, directed by comedy legend Jerry Seinfeld. Seinfeld also stars in the movie, joined by a stellar cast that includes Christian Slater, Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan, Hugh Grant, and Max Greenfield.
Spike Ferensten Breaks Down Unfrosted's Unlikely Development Close Screen Rant: Hello Spike! I've been a big fan for a long time. Talk Show was my "cool, hot comedy that my parents might not get." Can you tell me a little bit about getting the band back together? Getting the writing team that you have and being like, "What are we gonna do?"
We had fun because we had no parental supervision. We had no studios, no agencies, it was just us. I was probably the only parent. And I was like, "Let's write whatever we want." We wrote, I think, 230 pages of a script that might cost a billion dollars. Whatever we wanted to happen, we wrote. And it was liberating and really fun, and then at some point, Jerry said, "I think I want to direct this, and I think I want to star in it!" And I went, "Oh, alright...
Spike Feresten: I'm so happy that you're saying that, because the writing of it and the shooting of it was that. Every day was really fun. And we were laughing like crazy, and we couldn't believe we got to make this movie, and I keep hearing that. Somehow, it's giving off... People are sensing that. It was a joy. This one was really a joy.
It's tricky, because, the show had his name on it, where does the ego come into play or not come into play, like, "Oh, this is so funny, why isn't this my line?" And then the third one was Daniel Day-Lewis, who we didn't get in the movie. We thought, why don't we bring hiim out of retirement and give him a part in this film? I think he's a cobbler now. I think he's making shoes. Wouldn't that be fun? We were watching, like, I think a lot of us were doing, we were watching a lot of YouTube! And that was a lot of Mad Men, and a lot of There Will Be Blood.
