Not long after rumors began circulating about John Turturro’s new film project, reports confirmed that the actor was indeed working on his long-developing Big Lebowski spinoff. Today brings our first official look at that project, titled Going Places, in which Turturro reprises the role of Jesus Quintana, the enigmatic and perverted bowler from the Coen Brothers’ cult classic.
Back in June, actor John Turturro talked to The Hollywood Reporter about his ongoing efforts to make a film featuring his popular bowling lothario Jesus from The Big Lebowski. In the interview, Turturro explained that the character had actually been created years before the movie as part of a public theater company Turturro had participated in. While the actor described the ongoing legal discussions as “very complicated,” he did claim to have the involvement of the Coen Brothers on the film, although not as the directors.
A lot of people have wanted to say Walter Sobchack's (John Goodman's character in 'The Big Lebowski') famous catchphrase to Donald Trump. Through the magic of video editing and internet wizardry, we now have a video of that.
If you are a fan of 'The Big Lebowski' take note of this video. You too can soon throw back The Dude's cocktail of choice -- which he lovingly referred to as "Caucasians" in the film -- made just the way he likes it!
It's been a long time coming, but if the internet is to be believed, The Dude will make his glorious return to the silver screen in "The Big Lebowski 2: The Dude Goes To Washington". Check out the rumored details.
