With his nearly-flawless track record and growing status as Hollywood’s smartest satirist, if you’re not looking forward to Mike Judge’s next movie you must be so dumb that you’d rather sit at home and watch “Ow! My Balls!” Now, Mila Kunis is spilling the beans on Judge’s upcoming flick, entitled “Extract.”
“I just wrapped the movie last night,” she told us this past Friday. “Jason Batemen, Ben Affleck, myself, Kristen Wiig – it’s super awesome, with a really funny cast. Like in the vein of ‘Office Space,’ but it takes place in an extract factory.”
Although details on the film have been hard to come by, Kunis did cough up some key information on her character: “I play a pathological liar who’s a kleptomaniac, but also, just a lost little soul,” said the “That '70s Show” star.
“She ends up seducing a coworker, played by Clifton Collins Jr. [‘Capote’], who loses a testicle in an accident, to sue the company to get a million dollars from it," continued Kunis. "Jason Bateman falls in lust with her, wants to have sex with her, but he’s married [to Wiig] so he tries to justify it by hiring a gigolo [who is] Ben Affleck, playing his best friend.”
If imagining that twisted plot filtered through Judge’s skewered worldview doesn’t already have you wanting to buy a ticket, it gets better: “[When Bateman] hires a gigolo to seduce his wife, it works,” explained Kunis, who takes a darker-than-usual turn in this weekend’s videogame flick “Max Payne.”
“Then he freaks out, because his wife is [also going to] have sex with this 19-year-old, dumb kid [played by Dustin Milligan], who’s really funny in the movie," said Kunis. "Then, ultimately, Jason and I finally get together. We schtup, we have fun, and then you realize that I stole everything. And then, hilarity ensues.”
We’ll undoubtedly be keeping an eye on “Extract” as it prepares itself to hit theaters in 2009. But, with Judge’s bad-luck track record, we can’t help but wonder: Will the film even come to theaters?
“’Office Space’ was brilliant. ‘Idiocracy’ way ahead of its time; like way, way ahead of its time,” Kunis reasoned. “I do think ‘Idiocracy’ was lacking something; but on paper it’s a brilliant script. ‘Extract’ is way more in the vein of ‘Office Space.’ It’s [about] awkward moments, and everyone he hires [is great]. J.K. Simmons is in it; he’s brilliant, and the whole cast just vibed really well.”
Finally, Kunis wrapped things up with a promise that Judge might want to quote at the top of the “Extract” movie poster: “I swear to God, it’s really funny.”
Are you looking forward to "Extract"? What do you think about Kunis' description of the film? Do you think it will top "Office Space"?
