Ben Affleck finds a Judge who likes him!

Ben Affleck whose on screen comeback is well under-way with big roles in State of Play and He’s Just Not That Into You next year, has landed another Hollywood role to his schedule.

Variety say Mike Judge has cast him for Extract, his upcoming Miramax comedy where Affleck will play an ambulance-chasing lawyer. Jason Bateman was previously cast as the flower extract factory owner who is having a tough time at life and home (his wife is having an affair with a gigolo!).

Also newly cast is upcoming Star Trek villain Clifton Collins Jr. who will play a factory worker in the film who loses a body part in a freak accident. Mila Kunis and Kristen Wig also star in the film which begins shooting Monday in L.A.

Judge (Office Space, Idiocracy, Beavis & Butthead) has written and will direct the film which should be his first real mainstream movie, and ironically after Office Space, it centers on the boss rather than the employee’s.
