Saw something interesting today about the beloved cult classic “The Big Lebowski.” Jeff Bridges recently revealed at an LA screening that he’s genuinely interested in bringing The Dude back to our screens. He mentioned that Julianne Moore shares his enthusiasm, and they’ve apparently discussed sequel possibilities.

But as much as Bridges would love to don that cardigan again (and who wouldn’t want to see it?), he’s realistic about the chances. The Coen brothers aren’t typically sequel-minded filmmakers. Though Bridges left the door open, saying “If they called me up and said, ‘Hey let’s do it again,’ I’d say, ‘Absolutely, come on.'” That’s about as straightforward as it gets. Far out.

The unsuccessful spinoff “The Jesus Rolls” hasn’t helped the case for revisiting this universe. John Turturro’s attempt at a spinoff landed with a thud. Still, there’s something comforting about knowing that 25+ years later, the cast remains so attached to these characters that they’d jump at the chance to return. The Dude continues to abide, even if only in our collective cinematic memory.
