Bateman's Big-Screen Flower Power

Jason Bateman and Mike Judge team up for new big-screen comedy Extract

Jason Bateman's career is about to experience the greenhouse effect.

The erstwhile Bluth boy has joined forces with Office Space mastermind Mike Judge for a new big-screen workplace comedy, this time trading TPS reports for watering cans with Extract.

According to Variety and the Hollywood Reporter, Bateman stars as the owner of a flower extract factory whose world goes wonky when he suddenly learns his wife has had an affair with a gigolo.

Judge will write and direct the comedy, the first feature to be produced through his Ternion Productions.
