Netflix has revealed the first photographs from Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story, and they do not disappoint.
Some of Hollywood’s greatest personalities, including Jerry Seinfeld, Hugh Grant, Melissa McCarthy, James Marsden, and Christian Slater, have signed on for the next film, which revolves around the discovery of a new morning delight.
Just when you thought things couldn’t get much better, additional photographs from the set emerged, with Hugh costumed as Tony the Tiger.
Yes, seriously.
Only the Love Actually icon could effortlessly go from an Oompa Loompa in Wonka to the renowned Frosties emblem.
In a recent photo, he can be seen smirking while dressed in the classic tiger costume and cradling Tony’s huge head in his arms.
Another photograph depicts Melissa in her best 60s outfit, carrying a very important paper, as Jerry cheers behind her.
Unfrosted will be available on the streaming platform on May 3, and stars Dan Levy, Jim Gaffigan, Bill Burr, Max Greenfield, and Amy Schumer.
The official summary reads: “Michigan, 1963.” Kellogg’s and Post, longtime cereal competitors, compete to produce a pastry that would permanently alter the face of breakfast.
‘A tale of ambition, betrayal, sugar, and menacing milkmen.’
Jerry, who also serves as director, recently revealed how he was able to get Hugh on board, noting that it was the first time the Hollywood favourite has recorded an audition video in about 30 years.
‘Everybody I asked said ‘yes’, so we ended up with this crazy cast,’ he boasted to Empire, before raving about the Bridget Jones actor’s efforts as a disgruntled Shakespearean actor who is forced to sport the outfit.
‘That was the greatest part of the whole thing, honestly. Because I am a crazy fan of his.
‘[Hugh] asked me if it matters that Tony the Tiger has a British accent. I told him, “No, who cares?”’
Hugh Jackman, known for his appearances in Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill, is looking for new challenges.
In a new interview on the Drew Barrymore Show, he spoke up about a transformation in his profession, saying: “I got a little less bad after I had children, got married, and got happier.”
‘I got too old and fat and ugly to do romantic comedies obviously, so I got off with more interesting things.’
‘I love those films. I love the fact that people still like them, but I never felt comfortable really doing them,’ he added of the ‘sweeter’ roles of his career.
‘I don’t know about you, but I prefer more of a mask. I want to be someone else. Then it frees me up and then I quite like acting.’
