Will there be a ‘Big Lebowski 2’?
When asked about her upcoming projects, she told Hollywood.tv that she had a movie coming out called “The Fields” and “The Irishman.” After that ho-hum news, she said, “we’ll be doing ‘American Pie 4’ this year and ‘The Big Lebowski 2’ this year.” (She also said something about getting the whole gang back together 10 years later, but since neither movie was released in 2000 or 2001, it’s hard to know what she was talking about exactly.)
In the words of Mark Ruffalo in “The Kids Are All Right,” “Shut the front door.”
Could it be? One of the greatest comedies of all time is getting a sequel?
I spoke with Joel and Ethan Coen today (look for that story closer to Oscar time) and mentioned Reid’s comments.
Ethan responded with a chuckle, saying, “I’m glad she’s working on it.”
When I asked if they actually had something in the works, Ethan said, “Well, we don’t but we’ll watch it when it comes out.” To which Joel quickly added, “Especially if Tara’s in it.”
So, apparently Tara Reid is not the most reliable person in the world. Who knew? Well, we’ll always have ”American Pie 4.”
Apparently, Tara Reid’s people have tried to clarify the misstep, as well. A spokesperson for Reid told Entertainment Weekly, “She heard Jeff Bridges say that he wanted to make ‘Big Lebowski 2’ and have all the original cast members in it, so she may have misspoke, thinking that included her based on what Jeff said.”
I guess that clears that up.
(If you want to relive the greatness that is “The Big Lebowski,” you can watch some clips on Hulu.com.)
