Joining the cast of Butter with Alicia Silverstone will be vegan actress Olivia Wilde.

The film is a political satire of the 2008 Democratic election, in which butter carving is the competition, instead of an election.

Here’s a synopsis from MTV, which includes the roles for Jennifer Garner and Ty Burrell:

“Jennifer is the leading lady Laura — the Hillary Clinton of this scenario who is poised to win the butter-carving competition. Her husband, played by Ty Burrell, is a term-limited butter carving champ who picks up a stripper mistress along the way. While that is developing, Laura finds her plans to win the competition thwarted by a young African American upstart, played by Yara Shahidi.”

Wilde will be playing the stripper who seduces the former butter carving champion.

Previous reports said the Silverstone would play the character of the stripper, but it is now known she will play the adoptive mother of the African American upstart butter carver.

Whether the producers will be using real butter, margarine or something completely inedible isn’t known, but let’s hope if it’s real, they source if from small local farms that treat their cows more kindly, as opposed to alleged conditions uncovered at a Land O’Lakes supplier, which included filthy conditions and downer cows not being treated by veterinarians.

Alicia Silverstone may be a vegan, but she may add some butter to her life soon.

The actress is rumored to be cast in the film starring Modern Family‘s Ty Burrell featuring a butter carving champion in a small town.

According to Access Hollywood, Production Weekly says Silverstone is currently in negotiation for the comedy that has already cast Jennifer Garner and Ashley Greene.

If Silverstone were competing in a butter carving contest herself, she’d pick her favorite vegan butter, Earth Balance, as she’s blogged about it on her website, The Kind Life.

Available in tubs and traditional butter sticks, Earth Balance comes in several varieties that include soy, no soy, canola oil or without, and contain all the buttery flavor minus the cholesterol and dairy farms.
