The infamous Britney-baiting tabloid site TMZ.com claims to have insider information that Mike Judge has set up his next film project at HBO Films after tearing it away from Fox due to the horrible way they treated his cult non-hit Idiocracy. This is obviously great news, except that the story is filled with so many inconsistencies, oddities, and factual errors that it's hard to know if they just got some wires crossed. First off, they call the film Meet in the Freezer, when it's long been known to be Meat in the Freezer, and they claim that Judge co-wrote it with Got Milk? ad director Clay Tarver, when it's long been known that it was written with frequent collaborator Etan Cohen and actor Steve Zahn. And most surprisingly, they claim that Judge is only producing the film for Tarver to direct, which just seems highly unlikely after statements from Judge that he plans on becoming a full-time feature director, not to mention his vast passion for the "hunting porn" the project is based on.
Meat follows two former department store gun salesmen who begin a quest for a large albino buck in order to rescue their reputations during hunting season. Unfortunately, the woods are filled with dozens of amateurs who would love to bag the game for themselves, plus there's a gang of protestors moping around, one of whom one of the heroes has a crush on.
TMZ claims Anna Faris has done a table read for the hippie chick and is the favorite for the role, but you should probably take that and everything else in this article with a healthy grain of salt.
One thing we can tell you for sure is that Judge's King of the Hill will resume its eleventh season on March 25.
