Talking to PEOPLE, Bridges was very enthusiastic about the possibility of interpreting again the Dude, the unforgettable protagonist. The actor ironically confessed:

If the Coen brothers were involved again, I would definitely be there. They are mysterious and full of surprises, you never know what they will do. Precisely because they are always amazing, I don’t think they will make a sequel. But like I said, they’re amazing, so maybe they’ll surprise me and make a sequel.

During the interview, Bridges also focused on thesubstance usea practice that has greatly influenced his life, but which he managed to interrupt, thanks to the film, because it was able to fully involve him.

I do a few joints every once in a while, but for that film I said to myself: “This is a wonderful script and quite detailed”. Although it seems very improvised, it is all scripted, so much so that it is done entirely as written. If you add an extra “Hey” somewhere, it doesn’t feel right. So I really wanted to use all my wits, that’s why I never smoked during that film.

An unmissable film

Who knows if one day this elusive second chapter will ever see the light. It must be said that in the past there had been an attempt, with a spin-off titled Jesus Rolls – Quintana is back!, which, however, had not achieved the same success. After all, it is really complex to be able to overcome the receipts obtained from the original film. In fact, we recall that The Big Lebowski obtained a incredible successso as to be included by Empire, among the 500 best movies in history. Will it be possible to do better? Never say never, even if it would be a very difficult undertaking.
