Only ET can take you on the top-secret set of Jennifer Garner and Hugh Jackman’s new movie ‘Butter’!
In the film, expected in theaters next year, Jen plays Laura Pickler, the hard-driving wife of a blue-ribbon butter carving king — “Modern Family”‘s Ty Burrell.
“She’s very ambitious for the two of them. And he decides without talking to her that he is going to give up butter carving and become a judge – and it makes her crazy,” Jen says.
Now, Jen thinks it’s her turn to go for the gold!
Cowboy Hugh, meanwhile, is Jen’s ex high school sweetheart. He thinks the way to rekindle their romance is by helping her become the dairy carving queen!
“They were probably meant to be together and she dumped him,” Hugh explains. “And even though he’s remarried… the moment she turns up on his doorstep he drops [everything]… it’s like, ‘This is my second chance.’ So he’s very briefly very happy.’”
‘Butter’ also stars ‘Twilight”s Ashley Greene, and a dark-haired Olivia Wilde plays the sassy town stripper who wants to melt Jen’s butter champ dreams. Watch our video for more!

Jennifer Garner and Nick Nolte are in talks to join the cast of “Arthur,” Warner Bros.’ remake of the 1981 comedy.
Russell Brand and Helen Mirren are starring in the pic, which Jason Winer is directing.
Closely hewing to the original, the new “Arthur” follows a very rich, happy drunk who is told by his mother that he must marry the wealthy girl of her choosing or else lose his inheritance, just as he meets a poor girl (Greta Gerwig) and falls in love.
Garner is playing an heiress who carries her own secrets and whom Brand must marry. Nolte is her deeply religious father.
Larry Brezner is producing with Kevin McCormick and Chris Bender.
Garner, repped by WME and Management 360, took part in New Line’s ensemble rom-com “Valentine’s Day” and recently wrapped “Butter,” an indie dramedy set in the small-town world of competitive butter-sculpting. “Butter” is serving as her debut as a film producer.
CAA-repped Nolte last appeared in “The Mysteries of Pittsburgh” and has “Warrior,” an action movie directed by Gavin O’Connor and starring Tom Hardy, in the can. Lionsgate opens “Warrior” on Sept. 17.

Hugh Jackman, Alicia Silverstone and Olivia Wilde have all joined the growing cast of “Butter,” the 2012 comedy by “She’s Out of My League” director Jim Field Smith. The news comes just a week after it was revealed that “Twilight” star Ashley Greene had joined the ensemble cast, which already boasts Jennifer Garner, Rob Corddry and “Modern Family” star Ty Burrell.
“Butter” is set around a butter-sculpting competition in a small Midwestern town. Garner stars as a woman driven to win the competition, like her husband (Burrell) before her. Those plans are disrupted when a newcomer, a young orphan girl (Yara Shahidi), shows exceptional skill in shaping the dairy product.
Movieline broke the news early yesterday that Wilde has been cast as “a tattooed stripper with a Bettie Page hairdo” who is Burrell’s character’s mistress. The actress is poised to have quite the 2010, with lead roles in “Tron Legacy” and the Paul Haggis crime thriller “The Next Three Days,” plus comic-book adaptation “Cowboys vs. Aliens” due out in 2011 and (presumably) a “Tron” sequel or two.
Variety reported that Jackman and Silverstone joined the “Butter” cast as well. Jackman will play a former lover of Garner’s, and Silverstone, who had previously been rumored for Wilde’s stripper part, will instead play the adoptive mother of Shahidi’s character.
