Jerry Seinfeld: What's the Buzz?

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So Spielberg fixed your ending?
JERRY SEINFELD: Right. [SPOILER ALERT! Skip to the next question if you haven't seen the movie yet.] And the other thing was I didn't have the bees rescuing the plane [at the end of the movie]. That was Spielberg. It used to be that they just come to the airport and they make the flower on the runway, and that's what saved the day. But [Spielberg] said, ''I want to see the bees fly up and rescue the plane.'' So that was his, too.

You have said you won't do another sitcom. Would you do another animated movie?
It depends. Let's see how the audience likes this one. To me, the joke isn't told yet, so I can't really tell you what I've got, till it's out there.

Are you up for doing a sequel if Bee Movie is successful?
Eh, I'm not much of a sequel guy. I don't like going to them, I don't believe in the idea of them. I don't really think there's another great story to tell about bees. But you never know.

Would you ever act in a straight-up movie? Say, an indie with somebody like Wes Anderson?
A guy like that I would! I don't think they think of me. I don't think they think I would do it. But there's really a lot of people who can do that better than me.

You've been everywhere talking up this movie — Cannes, Oprah, and those NBC ads. Do you worry that it might be too much Jerry?
It's definitely too much for me. But it's a weird environment now where you don't really know where people's attention is anymore. It used to be you could advertise on TV, and you knew people would see it, but that's not true anymore.

Do you worry about backlash?
I did worry about it. But I asked a few press and marketing people about that, and not one of them was even slightly concerned. It can backfire if the product isn't good, but we know we have a good movie, so we're not afraid to crow about it.

So what's next?
A lot of blank pages in the appointment book.

Were you serious when you recently floated the idea of doing one more episode of Seinfeld?
Uh, I was. But I don't think it can happen now.

Why not?
It would've had to happen because this is the last DVD coming out [Season 9 of Seinfeld and the box set Seinfeld: The Complete Series will hit stores on Nov. 6], so now would've been the time to do it. Obviously, with the movie, it wasn't a good opportunity. There were too many things happening at the same time.

So with this movie and the DVD coming out does it feel like a chapter's coming to an end in your life?
I certainly hope so.

And after four long, hard years, is making a movie all it's cracked up to be?
Nothing is. You know that.
