A bowler can dream, can’t he? In an interview with The Daily Mail, Jeff Bridges reminisces on his time working on The Big Lebowski and how he and his co-star would hope for a day to make their modern day dream sequence into a reality once again. “Of course. Julianne [Moore] and I would fantasize about that. We did another movie together, Seventh Son, she played a witch in that movie. And we would often say, ‘Gee it’s all set up for a sequel,’” Bridges shared, however he didn’t mention if their fantasy included bowling pins. However, Bridges is seemingly a realist at heart as he remembered the Coen Brothers’ cinematic track record. “I don’t think the brothers are going to do that. I don’t think that’s their style. But I must say, they surprise us all the time… If they called me up and said, ‘Hey let’s do it again,’ I’d say, ‘Absolutely, come on.’”
Bridges is right. The Coen Brothers have previously said they would never make a sequel to the film; however, it didn’t stop one cast member from taking a stab at it. John Turturro, you know Irv from Severance, wrote, directed, and starred in his own sequel called The Jesus Rolls, reprising his role as Jesus Quintana. The brothers gave Turturro their blessing for the movie, but they had no involvement in it. Maybe Bridges and Moore have found a loophole in for getting their dream to reality.
