Riding higher than ever thanks to Oscar wins and an instant hit in Burn After Reading, would the Coen Brothers ever make a sequel? A couple of their movies could open themselves up for that. Raising Arizona could have some merit - you know, if we're just spitballing here - and hell, they tried to make Fargo into a TV show of some kind. Remember that?
But what about The Big Lebowski? We can't say whether or not John Turturro was joking about it when he spoke to ESPN The Overrated Magazine, but here's the pivotal exchange:
ESPN: If the Coen brothers made a baseball movie, would it be better than the bowling movie?
Turturro: The Big Lebowski was a great movie. We hope to make a sequel. I can't talk about it, but it comes down to Jesus in the jumpsuit.
Added ESPN, "Coming up on SportsCenter, we'll massage Brett Favre's prostate with our praise. Booyah!"
MTV did a little digging on the subject, too, asking co-stars Philip Seymour Hoffman and Julianne Moore their thoughts on a follow-up.
"That’s just like a sick thought, isn’t it?" Hoffman retorted.
Moore believes her character, The Dude's sex-driven Maude, would be prime for a comeback. "I think she has a role in everybody’s universe...Maude abides too!"
Whether or not it's a Coen-endorsed sequel or just a spin-off for the maniacal Jesus Quintana, Moore gives her blessing to Turturro. "He should! What a great character," she said. "He’s incredibly powerful."

I'm afraid that a sequel would ruin one of the best movies ever.... Sequels are almost never as good as the original.
