The Big Lebowski
John Turturro is finally done editing and filming hisBig Lewboskispinoff , Going Places . The thespian played the outlandish bowling extraordinaire and pederast Jesus Quintana in the Coen Brothers ' craze comedy , and has been itch to repeat the part pretty much ever since . He eventually get the Coens ' benediction to do so in 2016 , and set to play shortly after on a remake of Gallic source / movie maker Bertrand Blier ’s 1974 dramedyGoing Placesthat double as a spinoff about Jesus and two fellow intimate degenerates .
With Turturro pulling treble duty as its author , director , and star , Going Placespromises to be a chip offThe Big Lebowski ’s occlusion as it follows"a trio of misfits whose irreverent , sexually blame dynamic evolves into a surprising love story " , agree to a antecedently - free synopsis . And in light of its precursor having become a beloved cult film in the twenty - one years since it opened in theaters to middling reviews and lukewarm box post returns , it ’s small marvel Turturro has spent much of the last thirty - six months scud and re - cut his spinoff to get it exactly the style he want .

Speaking toThe Independentrecently , Turturro confirmed he ’s settle on a cutting ofGoing Placesthat he care , and described it as"a morsel of a racy movie " . That might be something of an understatement , look at Blier ’s original picture was exceptionally controversial for its vulgar humor and sexual content , but it ’s also a reasonably different world now than it was in the mid-70s . Turturro went on to add that"It shows how stupid men are . That ’s what the picture show is kinda about - the woman are the unassailable , more together characters " .
Jesus ' fellow misfits are played by Bobby Cannavale and Audrey Tautou in the motion-picture show , which Tuturro toldThe Independentwill explore how Jesus gets out of jail after he ’s framed for being a pedophile . This indicatesGoing Placeswill paint Jesus in a far more complicated light thanBig Lebowski , where he was mostly an off - cadence brook fictitious character among a sea of every bit equivocal , strange , and potentially grievous thespian in the film ’s occasionally surrealistic shaggy dog investigator storey . Turturro further described it as"a clowning but a very human comedy " , so there might yet be more to this one than an ill - advise attempt to make a Coen Brothers task without the Coens ( something that ’s traditionally gone poorly ) .
Cinephiles will get to find out for themselves this fall , when Turturro is expected to bringGoing Placesto some of the major film festival in the hope of stop up a distributor . If the enduring popularity ofThe Big Lebowskiis anything to go by , there ’s a fair chance someone will ultimately pick it up for a theatrical release in 2020 ( if not sooner ) .
