Jennifer Garner to Star in Butter

April 7, 2009

Mandate has optioned Butter, rookie screenwriter Jason Micallef's original comedy screenplay. The Hollywood Reporter says Jennifer Garner is attached to star and possibly produce with Michael De Luca.

Butter follows a young orphan who, after being adopted by a Midwestern family, discovers she has an uncanny talent for butter-carving. She eventually finds herself up against the ambitious wife of the retired reigning champion in a town's annual butter-sculpting contest.

Craig Gillespie and Gary Ross are among the directors circling the project.

My God! I really like Jennifer Garner, but why the **** would anyone want to play in a comedy about butter-carving?

some of you guys have taken leaves of your senses. This sounds crap. A movie about a woman entering a butter-sculpting contest. Get a grip.

It will be a miracle if anyone sees this at the theater

I agree with MrT to the fullest. How is the butter sculpting premis even funny? The only way I would take a glimpse into this movie is if Jennifer Garner herself is rolling naked all over butter.
