Earthbound, the Kate Hudson comedy that has been shooting in New Orleans, LA for the past few weeks, officially wrapped last Friday.
Now, less than a week later, it has been announced that Kate will be returning to Louisiana on April 17 to begin filming Butter. According to Variety, “Butter is set in the Midwest and centers on an adopted girl who discovers her talent for butter carving and finds herself pitted against an ambitious local woman — portrayed by Garner — in their town’s annual contest. “Butter” was penned by Jason Micallef and will be directed by Jim Fields Smith.”
The young African-American challenger has not yet been cast, but Jim Carrey and Kate Hudson are in serious talks to join the film (some news outlet are saying that Hudson has already commited). Carrey would play Garner’s husband, ” a philandering, Bill Clinton-esque repeat sculpting champion.” That’s the catch, apparently the movie is really about the 2008 primary race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Hudson will play the Monica Lewinsky-type in the whole scenario.
