Editing Office Space (section)

==Possible sequels==

Shortly after the release of ''Office Space'', Judge, despite his disappointment at the movie's lackluster box office, began writing the script for ''Extract'', which he describes as a companion piece. The studio later asked him to put it aside to work on ''Idiocracy'', which it believed would be more commercial. After that film, like ''Office Space'', failed at the box office but became a cult favorite, Judge returned to ''Extract'' and it was released in 2009. It similarly makes light of workplace dysfunction, but from the perspective of a manager rather than a worker.<ref name=Extract />

"There's been talk of doing more with ''Office Space'', as a show or sequel, but it's never seemed right," Judge said ahead of the film's 20th anniversary. As for the former possibility, he recalled that because of the film, [[NBC]] offered him the chance to shape [[The Office (US TV series)|the American version]] of the British sitcom ''[[The Office (UK TV series)|The Office]]'', which similarly bases its humor in depictions of the absurdity of white-collar work and its effect on those who do it. Among the material the network sent, however, were some reviews, one of which said the series "succeeds where movies like ''Office Space'' failed." Judge passed on the offer.<ref name="EW oral history" />
