Yes, you read that title correctly. Birth Movies Death reported that John Turturro is currently filming a Big Lebowski spinoff in New York State, which will focus on his character, Jesus Quintana. This makes it a sequel of sorts to the classic 1998 comedy, although the Coen brothers (who have never been in the business of making franchise movies) have no involvement, and it seems like the Dude himself, Jeff Bridges, won’t be showing up. The article does not mention who is directing the film.
The film will be called Going Places, and it is based on the 1974 French comedy Les Valseuses, in which two thieves compete to give a woman her first orgasm. Susan Sarandon will star as a career criminal recently released from prison who also becomes involved with their criminal activities. Bobby Cannavale and Audrey Tautou will also appear.
John Turturro, who is a frequent Coen brothers collaborator, has been talking about a possible Big Lebowski spinoff for years now, so if this news is indeed true, it will certainly be a very interesting development.
