Judge's fourth directorial effort was 2009's ''[[Extract (film)|Extract]]''. Shortly after completing ''Office Space'', Judge was already about 40 pages into his follow-up script, set in the world of an extract factory, when he was convinced by his representative team that he needed to shelve that and concentrate on something more commercial. Over the next several years, he focused his energy on developing ''Idiocracy''. But years later, by the time of the film's release, audiences had decided that ''Office Space'' had struck a chord, so they were ready to see Judge return to on-the-job humor, and thus the ''Extract'' script was given new life.<ref name="Nasson, Tim">{{cite web|url=http://www.wildaboutmovies.com/behind_the_scenes/Extract-BEHINDTHESCENES.php|title=Extract-Behind the Scenes|work=wildaboutmovies.com|author=Nasson, Tim|date=August 13, 2009|access-date=September 6, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170630070806/http://www.wildaboutmovies.com/behind_the_scenes/Extract-BEHINDTHESCENES/|archive-date=June 30, 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Seeking to keep ''Extract'' below the radar of the studio system, Judge and his producers set up a production company, Ternion Productions, and arranged private financing while partnering with Miramax for domestic distribution of the film. Judge relied heavily on his own personal knowledge of the industrial world to bring the story to life. "I actually worked in a factory a little bit myself ... I hopefully write stuff that is recognizable as the archetypes of this world," Judge stated.<ref name="Nasson, Tim" />

Keeping true to this baseline of reality, ''Extract'' was shot in a working factory, in this case a water bottling plant south of Los Angeles, in the City of [[Commerce, California|Commerce]].<ref name="Nasson, Tim"/> He makes an uncredited appearance as Jim, a union organizer.<ref>[[Staff writer]] (April 28, 2008).
