Opening today (September 4th) is the new comedy, Extract, starring Jason Bateman, Ben Affleck, Mila Kunis, Kristen Wiig and Dustin Milligan. Bateman plays Joel, a man one step away from selling his flavor extract company and retiring to an easy life when a freak accident in the workplace sets off a series of disasters that puts Joel's personal and business life in jeopardy. Extract was directed by Mike Judge, who directed Office Space and created Beavis & Butt-head.

Extract is rated R and has a running time of 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Dustin Milligan says his character is a likeable guy: "Well first of all he's a very sweet kind of endearing character, you know, his intentions are good, he's so stupid you can't actually hate him, no matter how frustratingly stupid he is, but it's the thought process so when, just when you think he's starting to understand what people are telling him he says something that would then indicate he in fact has no idea of what's going on regardless of how clear and simple you explain things to him."

Jason Bateman explains how he keeps a straight face during funny scenes: "I probably would have cracked up a whole lot more in their scenes had I not learned how to not stare directly in the eyes of a funny actor across from you from Jeffrey Tambor, I learned how to stare just below Jeffrey's eyes going through Arrested Development he always complained it was like working with Helen Keller, but you know you can't stare him in the eyes and keep a straight face so I had to employ that with Dustin and with Dave quite a bit."

Jason Bateman says he'd love to work with Ben Affleck again: "The length of it goes as far back as my work with his wife you know Jennifer, with Juno and Kingdom, we met you know a handful of times during those two films and got along immediately and very well, so we had a blast and I'd love to work with him some more."
