Jerry Seinfeld's Pop-Tarts Film Unfrosted Moving Forward After Scoring Tax Credits
What's the deal with Pop-Tarts? It appears Jerry Seinfeld, the legendary stand-up comedian best known for playing a fictionalized version of himself in the hit sitcom Seinfeld, will be giving his own take on the creation of the popular toaster pastry sooner rather than later.
Netflix was awarded $60.3 million in tax credits by the California Film Commission, which was far more than their other streaming competitors like Disney, Warner Brothers, and Amazon. They were given credits for four upcoming films: Atlas,Beverly Hills Cop 4,Family Leave,and Seinfeld's upcoming comedy film on the ever-so-popular Pop-Tarts, Unfrosted.

As to be expected, Seinfeld was thrilled with the news. “We are so happy to get the California tax credit which enables us to make our whole movie there,” Seinfeld said. According to the man himself, his excitement goes beyond getting a tax credit from the state in which the film will be produced. California holds a special place in Jerry's heart for a very important reason. «Having made all of the ‘Seinfeld’ series in L.A., I very much wanted to come back and shoot there again. On behalf of everyone working on the movie, we really appreciate the great welcome.”
Besides allowing Netflix to stream his ageless show, Seinfeld has been involved in various projects for the streaming service, such as comedy specials like 23 Hours to Kill and Jerry Before Seinfeld and shows such as Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. Producing, directing, and starring in a Pop-Tarts film is something no one would really expect from Seinfeld, especially since it will center around a popular snack food, but the project sounds intriguing enough that plenty will tune in anyway.
