I’m sure we’ve all dreamed at some point of combining Jennifer Garner with butter, but Mandate has taken it a step further and made that dream a reality. They’ve hired Jennifer Garner to star in a comedy about an orphan who grows up to be a champion butter-carver. It’s called Butter, and according to screenwriter Jason Micallef' it’s actually a political satire. He’s a better writer than me, because I can’t think of any parallels between margarine and the Iraq war.

HR says the idea came from a trip to the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines, which is exactly where I’d have thought to look if I were out to find champion quality butter-carving. It sounds like the film will take place in a similar setting, with the movie’s orphan hero pitted against the ambitious wife of the retired reigning champion in an annualbutter-sculpting contest. No word on whether Garner plays the orphan or the orphan’s competition, but either way expect to see her greased up and shaping a block of butter into an exact likeness of Barack Obama’s head.
