Ben Affleck to Star in Judge's Extract

August 21, 2008

Ben Affleck is in negotiations to star in Miramax's Mike Judge comedy Extract, reports Variety.

Affleck will play an ambulance-chasing lawyer in the film, which centers on a flower extract factory owner (Jason Bateman) who's dealing with workplace problems and a streak of bad luck, including his wife's affair with a gigolo.

Clifton Collins Jr. is also joining the cast as a factory worker who loses a body part in a freak accident and is now due for a huge settlement. Mila Kunis and Kristen Wiig have already boarded the project, which begins filming Monday in Los Angeles.

Judge wrote the screenplay and is producing with John Altschuler and Mike Rotenberg via the trio's Ternion Productions.

Nice. Affleck can pull off piece of **** slimeball roles with his eyes closed.

And maybe someone with Affleck's clout will help the studio let one of Mike Judge's movies GET A PROPER RELEASE. (And without studio meddling, like Idiocracy.)

Ben Affleck is still acting? You'd think his career was dead after it was put under a limelight when he went through the whole Bennifer mess.

Ben Affleck is a good actor and a promising director. Gone Baby Gone was and outstanding movie. Idiocracy sucked immensely.

Did anyone else think Affelck shined in movies like Man About Town? This would be perfect for him, coupled with Mike Judge, who writes excellent scripts, should be a good watch.

I agree with Scribe. Idiocracy was a complete waste of time. Hopefully Judge makes up with this one!
