ll you Lebowski fans need not have coronaries just yet. Rumors about a sequel to the American cult classic have been swirling ever since Tara Reid recently told a news source that it was only one of the many things she was working on at the moment.
In the mid-to-late-90's, Tara Reid made her name playing dumb blondes. If she has any complaints about type casting, this may not help.
Speaking at a Comedy Club benefit show, Reid gave an interviewer some updates about her career, including one very curious coming attraction:
"I have a movie coming out called 'The Fields,'" she said. "I have another one coming out that I produced with my brother, called 'The Irishman.' And we'll be doing 'American Pie 4' this year and 'Big Lebowski 2' this year."
'Lebowski' writers and directors Joel and Ethan Coen sometimes work in mysterious ways, but there had never been any mention about definitely doing a follow up to their 1998 cult hit with Jeff Bridges, even as they promoted their new, Oscar-nominated film with The Dude himself, 'True Grit.' So what did they have to say when they heard Tara's news?
"I'm glad she's working on it," Ethan laughed in an interview with Austin360.com. But do he and his brother have plans to work on it? "Well, we don't but we'll watch it when it comes out," he said. Joel added, "Especially if Tara's in it."
