I feel bad for Mike Judge.  The guy has created two films that have developed massive success...on DVD.  Neither "Office Space" nor "Idiocracy" had the marketing push to make them successful at the box office.  But they weren't bad films (I personally don't care for "Idiocracy" but I can accept being in the minority on that one) and have both found massive success.  So what's it going to take for Mike Judge to actually succeed at the box office?

You'll have to ask the marketing guys at Miramax (thankfully no longer run by the Weinstein boys who would undoubtedly fuck it) because that's where Judge will be making his next film "Extract".  Jason Bateman has already signed on to star in the film which, according to Variety "explores what it's like to be the boss when everything seems to be shifting around you,"  So is it like "Office Space" from the corner office instead of the cubicle?  I doubt it Judge would just go back to the well but I'll continue to speculate until we learn more about the film.
