In the year 1963, Michigan witnessed a fierce rivalry between Kellogg’s and Post, two sworn cereal titans, as they raced against time to create a pastry that would revolutionize breakfast forever. Unfrosted, a tale of unbridled ambition, deceitful betrayals, sugary sweetness, and menacing milkmen, stars the renowned writer-director Jerry Seinfeld.
One of the seeds of inspiration for Unfrosted was the absurdity of a serious boardroom meeting devoted entirely to cereal - a topic that, on the surface, seems far from grave. “We adore the concept of grown men in suits spending their entire day discussing cereal,” Seinfeld enthused. “The comedic absurdity of their attire and the mundane topics they discuss creates a fantastical universe that we're eager to explore. Imagine Jim Gaffigan, dressed in a tight suit and brandishing a blustery demeanor, shouting, ‘Gentlemen, you must take this work more seriously!’ But at its core, it's all about crinkles, puffs, sprinkles, and pops - and they're all adults discussing it.”
The star-studded cast of "Unfrosted" promises an explosive blend of talent. According to Netflix, Seinfeld will be joined by an ensemble that includes Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan, Amy Schumer, Hugh Grant, Max Greenfield, Christian Slater, Bill Burr, Daniel Levy, James Marsden, Jack McBrayer, Thomas Lennon, Bobby Moynihan, Adrian Martinez, Sarah Cooper, and Fred Armisen.
During an appearance on "The Tonight Show," host Jimmy Fallon revealed an intriguing tidbit about the film, revealing that Grant will be portraying the iconic children's character, Tony the Tiger. Fallon shared a hilarious photo of Grant, looking thoroughly displeased while clad in a Tony the Tiger costume and clutching a bag of cereal.
"Unfrosted" is slated for release on Netflix on May 3, promising a delicious blend of comedy, drama, and cereal-fueled antics that are sure to captivate audiences worldwide.
