Jerry Seinfeld is set to direct, produce and star in the Netflix comedy Unfrosted.
The upcoming film chronicles the invention of the Pop-Tart and was inspired by a joke that the 67-year-old comedian once told on stage.
"Stuck at home watching endless sad faces on TV, I thought this would be a good time to make something based on pure silliness," he explained to Deadline. "So we took my Pop-Tart stand-up bit from my last Netflix special and exploded it into a giant, crazy comedy movie."
The film's script has been co-written by Spike Feresten and Barry Marder, and production work is expected to begin in 2022.
The project will actually be the comedian's first feature since 2007's Bee Movie.
