A Seinfeld movie will be made and will be a commercial success.
Fans debate whether a Seinfeld movie would be a commercial success, with most skeptical that sitcom-to-film adaptations work well despite the show's large audience.
It seems to me with the millions of loyal Seinfeld wathces each week....a Seinfeld movie would be a sure fire success...take the number of veiwers multiply it by your 7 $ ticket price = mad cash
now i wouldnt want them to do anything special for a movie....just a 2 hour long episode full of laughs
same sets ....wouldve been great ----who's with me ?
I dunno. The 90-minute finale sure did suck. And sitcoms made into feature films have not been spectacular successes.

In ten years they might make a movie parodying Seinfeld, like the did with The Brady Bunch.

ROFL!!! That whole storyline would make a hell of a movie in itself. Unfortunately the real reason we may not see a Seinfeld movie is because Jerry thinks he's done pretty much all he can do with the characters, and he'd do a bad job on screen. He won't rule out a one-shot or miniseries some time down the line on TV to tie up all the loose ends, but there is no script and no rush on anyone's part to do such a project (with the exception of frequent pleadings from NBC).

A Seinfeld movie with Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, Jim Carrey, and Danny Devito?
I have never heard of that! Can you come up with some proof?

News Guy Mike:
That link that you gave didn't work.
And I didn't continue on when I read that original message about Jim Carrey and his textbooks ... sorry.

how about a Seinfeld action flick, a few mail bombs via Newman, Kramer taking a few bullets, Elaine as the hapless vixen/ femme fatale who "assists" the diabolical J Peterman on his ruthless quest to conquer the world... of fashion, and have Jerry do a few car chases with him doing his routine while 100 down cliffside roads with Newman in his mailvan coming up right behind him... at 30 mph... Poppy mercilessly peeing to ruin the world's upholstery.. The Soup Nazi taking over Campbell's... and Puddy as the "Q"-esque mechanic to Jerry.. I can see a blockbuster hit in this... ;) anyone else?
Seinfeld the action movie...or "Seinfeld: Bigger, Longer, And All Jews Are Cut As Babies, they call the event a bris"...
I tell you I can't see it...
I haven't been following this whole thread, but has anyone mentioned an Oliver Stone movie...to add to the list of "JFK" and "Nixon," it's "Seinfeld"...
Or "Seinfeld: The Musical!"...
How about "Seinfeld In Love"...."The Seinfeld of The Lambs"..."The Seinfeld Redemption"...
Okay...I promise now to find something better to do with my time...
promise...
