Mike Judge Is Making Another Big-Screen Comedy, And This One Stars Ben Affleck, Mila Kunis, Jason Bateman and Kristen Wiig!!

I am – Hercules!!


Ben Affleck will play an opportunistic lawyer in Mike Judge’s latest big-screen comedy, “Extract.”

The Miramax feature, which starts shooting Monday, is about a flower-extract factory worker who loses a body part in a freak accident and finds himself pursuing a substantial settlement from his employer. Others in the cast include Kristen Wiig, Mila Kunis, Clifton Collins Jr. (Perry Smith in "Capote"), and Jason Bateman.

Writer-director Judge is the man behind "Beavis & Butt-head," "King of the Hill," "Office Space," "Idiocracy" and the upcoming animated ABC sitcom "The Goode Family."
