Office Space and Idiocracy writer/director Mike Judge is bringing us a new comedy staring Jason Bateman titled Extract. The film will be produced under Judge’s new company, Ternion Productions.
Extract was written by Judge and will explore what it’s like to be the boss when everything seems to be shifting around you.
Judge is currently working on The Good Family, a television series which is being produced under Ternion Prod. Filming of the first 13 episodes is still underway, and the series should debut in the first quarter of 2009.
As I mentioned earlier, Judge is the creator of Office Space and Idiocracy. To me, Office Space is pure gold. I love that movie to death. Then there’s Idiocracy, which I didn’t think held up to Judge’s previous works. Sure, the premise was great but I don’t think it was executed as well as it could have been. That film didn’t receive much recognition until after it was released on DVD and people realized who Judge was.
My guess is Extract will be along the lines of Office Space. I think a film that focused on Bill Lumbergh’s (the boss from Office Space) point of view as the boss of Initech would be amazing. Hopefully Judge had something like this in mind when he wrote Extract
Do you think Extract will be as good as Mike Judge’s previous works? Is it going to take the same path as Office Space? Discuss below!
