The film started shooting Aug 25 in Los Angeles.
Bateman stars as a factory worker whose life is changed by an industrial accident, a beautiful con artist and an idiotic gigolo.
ContentFilm International President Jamie Carmichael said: “Mike Judge has attracted a fantastic cast with his brilliant script – it’s riotously laugh-out-loud funny.”
John Altschuler (Blades of Glory) and Michael Rotenberg (Office Space) are producing and executive producers are Tom Lassally and Dave Krinksy.
Judge is well-known as the creator of Beavis And Butthead and the writer/director of cult hit Office Space.
Rotenberg of 3 Arts said: “There’s no better comedy filmmaker out there than Mike Judge, and it’s a testament to the quality of the project that we already have Miramax on board for North America.”
