We learned last year that John Turturro had filmed a remake of the 1974 French film Going Places that also acted as a sequel/spinoff of The Big Lebowski. Watch the official trailer for The Jesus Rolls below.
I only know one thing about this film and that is that it has a great cast. Any film that manages to snag the likes of Christopher Walken, Jon Hamm, and Susan Sarandon deserves a little attention. Now whether or not it will be any good is up for debate.
Plot Synopsis:
Hours after being released from prison for good behavior, Jesus Quintana (John Turturro) reunites with his best friend and fellow underachiever Petey (Bobby Cannavale). In the first in a series of rapidly escalating bad decisions, they steal a vintage car parked in front of an upscale salon and hit the road for a no-holds-barred joyride — until the car’s gun-toting owner (Jon Hamm) catches up with them, wounding Petey. Fleeing the scene with fiercely free-spirited shampooist Marie (Audrey Tautou), Jesus and Petey continue their adventure in a series of stolen cars, cementing their partnership with an epic petty-crime spree and a three-way romance.
The Jesus Rolls hits theaters February 28, 2020 and VOD March 6, 2020.
What do you guys think? Is this how you wanted The Big Lebowski universe to continue? Do you lick bowling balls, too?
