Jennifer Garner is set to co-star in comedy "Butter," which she will also produce through her Vandalia Films' banner alongside Michael De Luca ("The Love Guru," "Brothers"). The Weinstein Co. was reportedly also joined the project.

Jim Carrey and Kate Hudson are in talks to star in the movie, which Jim Fields Smith "She's Out of My League" will direct from the script by Jason Micallef.

Movie is about an 12-year-old adopted girl who discovers her talent for butter carving and finds herself pitted against an ambitious local woman (Garner) in their town's annual butter-sculpting contest.

"Butter" will be Vandalia Films' first project, and Garner was quoted as saying, "I can't wait to start churning."

Shooting is scheduled to begin in Louisiana next month.
