Miramax’s Extract, hopefully, brings Ben Affleck into play with other actors Jason Bateman, Clifton Collins Jr., Mila Kunis and Kristen Wiig. Affleck is now in negotiations.

A Mike Judge comedy is about an ambulance-chasing lawyer (Affleck), which centers on a flower extract factory owner (Bateman) who’s managing with workplace problems and a streak of bad luck, together with his wife’s affair with a gigolo.

Clifton Collins Jr. is joining the cast as a factory worker who loses a body part in a freak accident and is now due for a huge settlement.

Filming begins Monday in Los Angeles.
