This is a huge troll. A movie wouldn't film this fall and then not be released for 3 years, and the Coen Brothers would never allow a Lebowski sequel to be made.

Hello!

If you’ve made it this far, I hope you enjoyed the story. Unfortunately this is not true. And no, this article is not meant as humor. This is kind of like wishful thinking and my own personal tribute to one of the greatest movies ever made… and also to make fun of my friend Steve who thinks I wear Tapout and Affliction t-shirts.

Edit: Actually after reading my story again, it doesn’t make a lot of sense. If The Dude’s bowling alley ever closed down, I’m pretty sure he would just say “bummer man” and then find another spot to bowl… not go all the way to Washington to fight it. But since his son was a congressman there, you could probably work it in somehow to get him motivated enough to make the journey. Plus with Brandt, Walter and Jesus helping along the way, anything could be possible.

Edit: A comment from author Deli says you have to be 25 to be a congressman in the United States. So there goes that idea.

I have heard word of mouth that a sequel is in the works. You can't believe everything you hear but I do work as a bartender at a high end restaurant in LA and film execs, producers, directors, actors are our main clientele. I didn't hear any specifics other than it is in the works.

Another funny thing is we have a regular at the bar that looks just like the dude and is obsessed with the movie. Pretty cool guy though. However, he drinks Heineken not white Russians. I'll see if I can nab a picture with him sometime this week.

I have long feared that they will actually attempt to give the Big Lebowski some kind of revisionist treatment.
It's greatness is derived from the fact that it is the only one.
You can't expect them to recreate, improve, or continue the perfection achieved in that film, and I REALLY hope they never try.

Between this and Anchorman II already in production I'm pretty excited to get some good laughs.

Please no, for the love of Page... No!

Lebowski is so perfect. A sequel would only tarnish the original masterpiece.

Big Lebowski is one of my favorite flicks. For years i said this is the movie that proves you dont need to make a sequel to a great comedy. Leave it be.

But instead, they makea sequel.

Let's convert this thread to a discussion of the greatest film ever made.

Seen the movie probably 30 times, yet the other night, for the first time I noticed a hilarious line and laughed harder than I think I ever have at the movie.

Jakie Treehorn (not verbatim): "Another drink, Dude?"

Dude: "Does the Pope shit in the woods?"

I'm the same way. Every year (I think), a bunch of Big Lebowski super-fans gather for "Lebowski-fest". Supposedly, everyone dresses up as some one or some thing from the movie. @phishybanjo once suggested that someone should go dressed as an Irish monk. I wonder if anybody would get the reference.

Personally, I think I'd go dressed as a picture of a beaver.

I went to Lebowski Fest the one year I lived in LA. They had it at the Wiltern, which is just an awesome venue, and plenty of people did dress up as movie characters. A bunch of tertiary characters from the movie showed up, and they played a video of Jeff Bridges in full Dude regalia wishing us well. It was a real hoot hearing everyone in the crowd shout lines at the movie Rocky Horror style; YMMV on that sort of thing, of course, but since everybody was so jazzed I thought it was cool. There's a picture of me holding a White Russian from the show somewhere on the interwebz.

Favorite bit from the movie, other than everything John Goodman says: the Dude making the pencil rubbing of what Treehorn was writing on the pad, like any good private dick would, and then discovering...

Sequel thoughts: the article's obviously fake, but if a sequel was in the works I'd only watch it if the Coens directed it, as I implicitly trust them with every decision they make. IMO, maybe the best filmmakers of the past 20-30 years (it's them, Tarantino, and David Fincher for me).

I use that line all the time instead of does a bear shit in the woods.
