Has anyone heard the Coen Bros. speak of a Big Lebowski 2? I have heard them refer to it in interviews before, jokingly I believe. In an interview with Jeff Bridges they asked him what was his favorite character and he responded "The Dude" and that he would be open for a sequel. I would kill for just 15 more minutes with those characters.

For any fan of the Coen bros, or even more specifically, THE BIG LEBOWSKI, or even more specifically, the character played in that film by John Turturro named Jesus Quintana, word is that the Coens are actually "in discussions" to write a WHOLE MOVIE about the nutty little bowler. Here's one of my favorite lines of his from the film: "Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy shit with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you, stick it up your ass and pull the fucking trigger 'til it goes "click."

Here's a transcript of the Q&A with Turturro himself:

TF: One of your funniest turns is Jesus Quintana in "The Big Lebowski". Who came up with the look, you or the Coens?

TURTURRO: Half and half. The jumpsuit was there, and I came up with the nail, the hairnet, the beard-- all that stuff.

TF: And the mannerisms?

TURTURRO: [Laughs] That was stuff the Coens knew I could do and they let me go a little crazy because they had extra time. They let me add a lot of stuff. We actually may do a continuation. We're thinking of doing a down and dirty movie with him-- Jesus: The Second Coming. That thing is huge all over the world. People go insane over it, so we thought we've got to come up with the right story. We're in discussions to do it.

Like I said on the old board.  it's a joke, I'm sure, you couldn't have a protagonist like that.

i remember comparing that to the 'boogie nights coked out musical sequel' that mark wahlberg was joking about.

There's been a bit of chatter lately — courtesy of a John Turturro interview in ESPN Magazine — about a "Big Lebowski" sequel of sorts. It seems we might not have hear the last of Turturro's notorious bowling ball licking Jesus character. At least that's what he hopes (and so do we). So where does Steve Buscemi stand on a "Lebowski" sequel? He told us he's all for it, but since his character is dead (remember what happened to poor Donnie's ashes?) he has another concept in mind for the Coen brothers. "You could have the prequel to 'The Big Lebowski'" Buscemi said. So whose story would this be? Buscemi's got it covered. "It could be the life of Donnie the surfer because remember, he not only bowls, he surfs."
