Netflix has released a trailer for its upcoming movie about the creation of the iconic breakfast food Pop-Tarts and confirmed the film’s extensive and impressive cast.
The movie is called Unfrosted, and it tells the story of the 1963 battle between Kellogg’s and Post and the race to create the most popular breakfast item of the day.
As history buffs many recall, Post came up with a product called “Country Squares,” and in a critical move, announced it to press before bringing it to market. This gave Kellogg’s the chance to come up with its over similar product, but it had just months to do so. We all know how this story ends, as no one remembers Country Squares. Kellogg’s succeeded in this mad dash and eventually created the Fruit Scone, before renaming it Pop-Tart.
The Netflix movie will undoubtedly take many creative liberties in the name of humor and comedy, but the company says its film will be a “tale of ambition, betrayal, sugar, and menacing milkmen.” The first trailer certainly does a good job at setting up the wild story and showcasing the film’s impressive cast of famous people.
Unfrosted, due out May 3 on Netflix, is directed by comedy legend Jerry Seinfeld, who makes his directorial debut.
The film features a long list of famous actors and comedians, including Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan, Max Greenfield, Peter Dinklage, Christian Slater, Bill Burr, Dan Levy, James Marsden, Jack McBrayer, Thomas Lennon, Bobby Moynihan, Mikey Day, Kyle Mooney, Tony Hale, Maria Bakalova, Dean. Norris, Kyle Dunnigan, Sebastian Maniscalco, Cedric the Entertainer, Jon Hamm, Fred Armisen, Hugh Grant, and Amy Schumer, among others.
