New York June 19, 2007 – The animated film Bee Movie has been getting some heavy promotion, considering it won’t be released until November. After donning a bee costume and jumping off of a rooftop in Cannes last month, Jerry Seinfeld brought costars Matthew Broderick, Renee Zellweger and Chris Rock to New York’s Museum of Modern Art for a “special presentation” on Tuesday.

Guests got to watch about thirty minutes of clips from the unfinished film, and listen to the funny folks kibbitz. “How did I wind up doing this?” Seinfeld wondered aloud. “After the TV series, I didn’t really want to do anything. I really still don’t.” But his passion pulled him out of his torpor. “I love bees”, the comic said.

Unlike most animated movies, the actors actually worked together on Bee Movie. Broderick and Seinfeld are friends off screen, which they feel helped the process. “For me, of limited acting skills, I have to be with someone who I really do like! I can’t pretend”, Seinfeld told the audience. “People don’t realize how funny [Broderick] actually is. He does a great Brando impression”, he added.

Sarah Jessica Parker tagged along, as did the fashionable Jessica Seinfeld, whose arm was in a sling that matched her white dress.
