The film marks the directorial debut for the comic.
Seinfeld claimed all the best way again in 2018 that he had been “fascinated about an invention of the Pop-Tart film. Think about the drunk on sugar-power Kellogg’s cereal tradition of the mid-60s in Battle Creek, (Michigan). That’s a vibe I may work with.”
The film, co-written by Seinfeld, stars Seinfeld together with Jim Gaffigan, Melissa McCarthy, Amy Schumer, Hugh Grant, James Marsden, Invoice Burr, Fred Armisen, Dan Levy and others. “Unfrosted” tells the story of 1963 Michigan, the yr earlier than Pop-Tarts hit grocery retailer cabinets.
“Making a movie about Pop-Tarts has led to so many wonderful, unexpected surprises, and as a car guy, I honestly cannot believe our film’s logo will be on an IndyCar entry this weekend,” Seinfeld said. “I am grateful to Chip Ganassi Racing for making this happen, and honored to be affiliated with The American Legion and the work they do to support American Veterans.”

“We all know that humor might be therapeutic for these battling psychological well being points. Partnering with the ‘Unfrosted’ challenge ties properly into our ‘Be The One’ platform and our efforts to de-stigmatize veterans who’re looking for assist and our prevention of veteran suicide.”
