Jul 22, 2024 · Idiocracy was produced by 20th Century Fox, so using Fox News as the infotainment network of choice made sense. But it also made sense from a creative standpoint, since Fox News is the home of sexed up anchors spouting reactionary nonsense and extolling violence.

- A VISIT TO DISNEYLAND SPARKED THE IDEA. Though Mike Judge had been jotting down some ideas for a movie about evolution as far back as 1995, the idea that would become Idiocracy all came together in 2001—on a trip to Disneyland, of all places.

Mike Judge (writer and director): The first time I got the rough idea was in '96. I was thinking about evolution. In our modern world, pretty much everyone survives, so what would that mean in the long run if you're talking about purely genetics? I very quickly had the idea of some kind of time-traveler-frozen-in-a-coma kind of thing. When Office S...
Darren Gilford (production designer): I remember having a conversation with Mike Nelson, who's the producer, back when I took the movie. And it was like, “Here's the money you have to make this movie; you either make it for this, or we're gonna find somebody else.” I remember sitting in that room thinking, “I'm gonna agree to do this movie knowing ...
Judge: I wanted it to look like an epic, Laurence of Arabia-like gigantic movie. I wanted it to look like a big-ass huge Blockbuster hit. Gilford: I did a bunch of concept art really early and I think I was overly ambitious. I did a bunch of stuff imagining what Washington DC might look like in the future, really dumbed down. I put a big Frank Gehr...
Judge: We actually had to shoot the Assmovie, which wasn't fun. Suhrstedt: They brought in about six guys with bare asses. Mike was literally saying, “I don't want any hair on his ass.” Judge: They just sent Polaroids to casting people; I should apologize to them for having to do that. Suhrstedt: We literally found a theater, a little bit south of ...
Judge: What would have been nice is to have a few more days of shooting because we were so rushed. Lampl: I think I worked for three weeks straight without stopping, sleeping at the studio off and on just because the demands were so great. Judge: At a certain point it went from a good vibe to thinking that this movie was cursed from the beginning. ...
Cohen: It was definitely disappointing but I was also really proud of making something that I thought was good. After thinking that it had disappeared, someone would tell you, “Oh, that was my favorite movie in college.” Hunt: I was disappointed that it didn't get a wider audience at the time because I thought Mike's work deserved that. It's such a...
