Jeff Bridges Reveals Big Lebowski Sequel Hopes

Jeff Bridges has reiterated his strong interest in reprising his role as The Dude in a sequel to The Big Lebowski, revealing during a special screening in Los Angeles that both he and Julianne Moore often discuss returning for another film. Bridges emphasized their enthusiasm but acknowledged that the decision ultimately rests with the Coen Brothers, who wrote and directed the original and are not known for making sequels. The Big Lebowski, which had modest box office success in 1998, has since become a cult favorite and influential comedy. John Turturro, another cast member, created his own spinoff with the Coens' blessing, but not their involvement. There is currently no indication that the Coens plan to revisit the story. Bridges remains hopeful and stated he would 'absolutely' join a sequel if the Coens changed their minds.
