LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Let those other filmmakers focus on world destruction or masked superheroes or beautiful people doing beautiful things. Jason Bateman plays the owner of an extract factory in "Extract," Mike Judge's latest. Mike Judge prefers to deal with real life. Judge, writer and director of "Office Space" and co-creator of the TV series "King of the Hill," has long liked to set his work in the world of malfunctioning copiers and beer-drinking propane salesmen. Even his wicked satire of the future, "Idiocracy," focused on the inanities of everyday life, just set 500 years from now. His new film, "Extract," is no exception: It's about a factory owner, Joel (Jason Bateman), who must deal with a host of employee problems as well as a chilly wife.

I['d] put the script on the shelf and thought @placeholder would be perfect, so I did a rewrite thinking about him but no one in particular for the other characters.
CNN: And @placeholder, he's a nice guy who just wants to have sex with his wife.
