Jennifer Garner Butters Up

Jennifer Garner picks up her daughter Violet from school in Santa Monica on Tuesday (April 7).

The 36-year-old actress will reportedly play the wife of a retired butter-sculpting champion who is pitched against a youngster in a competition. The script, landed writer Jason Micallef on the prized “Black List” of the best unproduced screenplays for 2008.

“I wanted to do a political satire,” Micallef told the Hollywood Reporter, “and I was looking for some venue that people take very seriously but is also ridiculous — like politics — but at the same time is really visual.”
