Ben Affleck is ready to suit up for Miramax’s Mike Judge comedy “Extract.”

Actor is in negotiations to play the best buddy of Jason Batemen’s character, a flower extract factory owner dealing with workplace problems and a streak of bad luck, including his wife’s affair with a gigolo.

Clifton Collins Jr. is also joining the cast as a factory worker who loses a body part in a freak accident and is now due for a huge settlement. Mila Kunis and Kristen Wiig have already boarded the project, which begins lensing Monday in Los Angeles.

Judge penned the screenplay and is producing with John Altschuler and Mike Rotenberg via the trio’s Ternion Prods. shingle.
