So, what do think about this?

Hollywood, CA — Exciting news for Big Lebowski fans everywhere has just been announced. A sequel to the 1998 cult classic is said to begin filming sometime this October.

The story centers around Jeff Bridges as Jeff “The Dude” Lebowski and Walter Sobchak who is played by John Goodman. The two have just learned that their bowling alley will be closing in exactly one week to make way for a parking garage all at the hands of a corrupt and evil land owner named Bavarian Illuminati, who is played by Bill Murray.

The pair decide to seek out the help of The Dude’s only son Mark Lebowski, played by Jesse Eisenberg, who was conceived in the first movie. The Dude’s son is now 18 years of age and just happens to be the youngest congressman in the history of the United States.

Making a return is Julianne Moore as Maude Lebowski. Also returning is Philip Seymour Hoffman as Brandt who is said to be acting as help for the “The Dude” and Walter as they make their way to Washington. In addition, accompanying the trio to D.C. is Jesus Quintana, played by John Turturro. It’s still unclear if Tara Reid will be appearing in the film. It’s rumored that the Coen brothers were so angry after she leaked the project back in 2011 that they pulled her from the film. Sources close to the film say that special guest appearances will be made by Rand and Ron Paul.

I'm a massive lebowski fan....but I think they should just stop with remakes/sequels and come up with something new.
 
That sounds like a really really really bad idea.

Otoh, I don't think the Coens will allow it to suck too much.
 
Ladykillers.

Need I say more?

They aren't perfect by a long shot but when they're on they're really on and it makes up for things like Ladykillers, Hudsucker Proxy and Intolerable Cruelty.

As for the The Dude, I was never a huge fan of the first but it has its place and a sequel does sound like a really fucking awful idea.

Shut your whoremouth.

How the fuck could you put Hudsucker Proxy in that list?

That movie is brilliant.
 
Big Lebowski 2 Fake News Fools The News

It's a big day for reputable news outlets to make a fool of themselves. First CNN announces that SCOTUS spiked Obamacare, now CBS Los Angeles is announcing a greenlight on a film — The Big Lebowski 2 — that anyone with an ounce of common sense knows is not real.

Picking up on a story from SuperOfficialNews.com (which sources “The Ass Press”) CBS Los Angeles invites fans of The Big Lebowski to “lift up your white russian!” According to the post, Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, John Turturro, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Julianne Moore are allegedly on board for a Lebowski sequel called The Big Lebowski 2: The Dude Goes To Washington.

The premise has it that the local bowling alley is being turned into a parking garage and only The Dude's son (Jesse Eisenberg), as the world's youngest Congressman, can help.

No diss to SuperOfficialNews.com, whose other joke pieces include Pat Robertson announcing he is gay and Facebook announcing a for-pay “gold account”, but this one is so... not-really-all-that-funny that I guess one could be forgiven for thinking it is real.

Nevermind that the Coen Brothers have basically disowned The Big Lebowski, repeatedly shrugging off its cultural importance at press events and refusing to involve themselves in the ever popular Lebowski Fests. If you recall, when the only news source more trusted than SuperOfficialNews — Tara Reid — mentioned she was doing a Lebowski sequel, the Coen Brothers publicly scoffed at her.

The CBS Los Angeles piece has no byline, but I imagine the author might deflect with “new shit has come to light” or “lotta ins lotta outs, lotta what have yous.” If they raised their voice in defiance, a quieting “calmer than you are” might be the only retort.

I don't get the fandom of this movie. Sure, it was good, but some people seem to take great pride in quoting it backwards and forwards.

It has always puzzled me. The movie overall was sorta fun but the characters annoyed me to no end. I have a hard time rooting for someone like The Dude. He's a loser. His friends are losers and not very likable losers. Julianne Moore who I normally just love I couldn't stand. I wanted to strangle her.
I can appreciate it's humor and the clever writing but holy fuck do I dislike the people in it.
