Mike Judge and Jason Bateman Team Up
Mike Judge, probably most loved for his comedy cult classic Office Space but also the man behind the likes of King of the Hill and Beavis and Butt-Head, is working on another live-action movie titled Extract about “what it’s like to be the boss when everything seems to be shifting around you.”
So, that’s pretty vague, but the most interesting part? According to Variety, Judge is teaming up with actor Jason Bateman, who is continuing his trend of smart moves that are making his TV show-to-movie transition seem easy.
I think Judge and Bateman both have that certain type of sense of humor that will make this work very well. It’s no secret that Judge was screwed over by the studio with his last movie Idiocracy (a movie that I thought had some great ideas and great things to say, but could have been executed better), so hopefully things go a little smoother with this one, especially since Bateman is the leading man, this could help propel his status to a reliable leading man in Hollywood - which I think he will be before long.
And there’s always...
I’ve always loved Office Space and Beavis and Butt-Head but I never saw the genious of King of the Hill until a few years ago when hubby started watching the show fairly religiously. Pretty smart and funny too! I’ve learned to love the comedic genious of Judge.
