B. Affleck Joins Bateman in the 'Extract' Movie
That guy from Armageddon is going to be in Mike Judge's latest film, Extract. From the cyber version of the Variety periodical:
[Ben Affleck] is in negotiations to play the best buddy of Jason Batemen's character, a flower extract factory owner 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 lensing Monday in Los Angeles.

Does it make sense now? Good. I was worried posting the image of a cartoon plunger beside a flower might seem arbitrary, like I was just following the whims of my recent fascination with terrible clip-art because I couldn't think of a joke about a simple casting decision, but this entirely justified it.
