about the upcoming comedy movie. The trio delved into the wild script and what it’s like to work with so many comedy legends. Unfrosted is set to release on
“Michigan, 1963. Kellogg’s and Post, sworn cereal rivals, race to create a pastry that will change the face of breakfast,” readsTyler Treese: Christian, your character in this film is so hilarious. The idea of milkmen being the secret syndicate controlling things from the shadows is so hilarious. What was your reaction when you realized the role you had in this film and got to play with?I thought it was crazy and outrageous.
Sarah, it’s been so great seeing your comedy career really blow up over the past couple of years, and this film is ridiculously stacked with comedy legends throughout. Can you sum up how special it is to be working on a film with such a talented cast and working with Jerry?I mean, it’s overwhelmingly incredible and special. I got to set my first day, and the call sheet was Jerry Seinfeld, Melissa McCarthy, and Hugh Grant, and that was my first day. And Bobby Moynihan and Thomas Lennon.
Max, you are hilarious in Unfrosted as well, and you share so many great scenes with Amy Schumer. She even smacks you in one scene. How was it getting to work with her and developing that back and forth? You play off each other so well.I appreciate it, thank you. Having Amy and Jerry, who’s directing, getting to work with both those people in that capacity was … I mean, one, a dream come true, but also very stressful. .
Christian, Jerry’s obviously a true legend of comedy, so what was most unique about seeing how he approaches comedic scenes as a director?One of the things, when you read the script — certainly playing this character — it was important to not try to be funny. I didn’t want to be over-the-top or playing gags or anything. I took it very, very seriously.
