"The Big Lebowski 2" announced

http://nationalreport.net/the-big-lebowski-2-announced/

Hmmmmm...

please dont tell me this is a joke lol

ohhh.... I don't know what to think

well at least the coen brothers will be doing it. Should be aight?

And Bill Murray is in it.

So, they will wheel lebowski out of a retirement home. It better not be based around him contemplating his death, or the demise of one of the other character's early in the piece

They are bigtime stars so they'll still get airtime through the use of tripped out flashbacks and drug fueled messages from beyond the grave told to lebowski.

it's a bit of a double edged sword tbh, on one hand it could be really good and that'll be really cool, but on the other hand it might suck so it'll be a bummer.

We always knew there was a new little Lebowski on the way. Shouldn't be a surprise.

havne't been disappointed by a coen brothers movie yet, I'm sure they will do it proud

edit: btw is this their first "sequel"?

lol the agrigate of either possible posting outcome in the most basic terms possible, heh.

its probably the only movie of theirs that could actually produce a decent sequel. They talked about doing a Barton Fink sequel for years but that movie is so perfect and self contained for me that I really don't want them to do it. It's my favorite coen bros movie by far, Big Lebowski is an amazing movie but its also a lot more fun and open-ended for expanding the universe. They could just set the film in 2003-ish to mimic the gulf war backdrop of part 1, Lebowski could be working at a cannabis dispensary in venice beach, hippies are back in.

I haven't found any other evidence of this happening besides that one video...

This is bullshit, for a few reasons:

+ Ethan's quote saying that they received the script from a third party - not wrote it themselves. The Coens write the majority of their projects, including the original film, and it is highly unlikely that they would allow someone else to write the follow up to such a beloved film.

+ The Coens don't release detailed synopses of their films this far out and they certainly don't detail every character in the film. They tend to play things close to their chests in the run-up to a new release.

+ FAPPY THE ANTI-MASTURBATING DOLPHIN is purported to be in this film. Faek.

Well... as long as it's the Coen brothers in charge, I'm excited.

Well, there we go:

Our earlier report that development of a sequel to the cult-classic bowling film, The Big Lebowski, was underway has turned out to be the result of a hoax by satirical website, The National Report, which kindled the hopes of Lebowski fans everywhere (including Bowlers Journal!) that a sequel to the beloved cult-classic bowling film was in the works.

Hope that a sequel would indeed someday come to fruition has been the subject of conjecture and reporting in legitimate outlets such as NME, which last year reported that the film-making duo had “effectively ruled out making a sequel to The Big Lebowski.” The story quoted the Coen brothers as saying they “just don’t like sequels.” And that, sadly, is where plans of a Lebowski sequel appear to stand.

The National Report‘s story suggests that the Coen brothers received a script for The Big Lebowski 2 that got them so excited they began devising plans to film the sequel right away. The story also suggests that filming was to begin in January, with release in summer, 2016.

The “script” had Maude Lebowski informing The Dude that they had conceived a son who had subsequently been kidnapped, prompting The Dude and friends to embark on a search for his lost son. Aside from the hoax story, The National Report also put together the above video.

And so, Lebowski fans, it seems the wait for a sequel continues, and that if the NMEs legitimate reporting is an accurate gauge of the Coen brothers’ interest in The Big Lebowski 2, that may be a very, very long wait.
