‘Automatic Trucking’: Mike Judge’s Next Film to Star Jack Quaid

Last year, I reported that Mike Judge’s long-gestating “Automatic Trucking” was finally happening. Judge hasn’t directed a feature since 2009 — it’s time for a new one.

Here’s The InSneider reporting that Jack Quaid (The Boys) is in negotiations to star in the film, which will be directed by Judge from a script written by “Silicon Valley” writers Rob Turbovsky and Matteo Borghese, based on Judge’s origina idea.

“Automated Trucking” follows a young engineer who pitches a fully automated trucking system to one of Silicon Valley’s most successful billionaires and must prove the technology’s viability by driving cross country with a real trucker to present his breakthrough at the International Truckers expo.

Judge is the creator behind “Beavis and Butt-Head,” “King of the Hill” and “Silicon Valley.” He also wrote and directed “Beavis and Butt-Head Do America,” “Office Space,” “Idiocracy,” and “Extract.”
