In an interview with GQ, comedian Jerry Seinfeld shared his thoughts on the current state of the movie business, stating that there is a sense of confusion among show business workers. He described the movie business as being “over” due to the disorientation experienced by those in the industry. Seinfeld was discussing his upcoming film, Unfrosted, which will be released on Netflix next month. This project marks Seinfeld’s directorial debut, and he expressed his surprise at the seriousness with which people in the film industry approach their work. Despite the uncertainty, Seinfeld did not explicitly tell his coworkers that the movie business is over, but he acknowledged that it no longer holds the same cultural significance that it once did.
Seinfeld elaborated on how movies used to be a central part of social and cultural discussion, with people eagerly anticipating new releases and engaging in conversations about their favorite films. However, in today’s fast-paced media landscape, he noted that people are constantly inundated with content and are struggling to keep up with the volume of entertainment available. Unfrosted tells the story of the rivalry between Kellogg’s and Post in 1963 as they compete to create a groundbreaking breakfast pastry. The film promises to be a whimsical tale of ambition, betrayal, and quirky characters, all set against the backdrop of the cereal industry. In addition to Seinfeld, the movie features a star-studded cast including Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan, Hugh Grant, Amy Schumer, Max Greenfield, Christian Slater
