Big Lebowski spin-off Going Places: First photo shows the return of John Turturro's Jesus Quintana
He's still wearing purple
The actor-director can be seen reprising his role in Going Places, a remake of French comedy Les Valseuses (1974). The film tells the story of two petty thieves who attempt to couple with a woman hoping to experience her first orgasm (yes, that is the plot).
Quintana is said to be one of the two central characters - unsettling considering Big Lebowski character Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) references his sexual deviancy.
Going Places co-stars Bobby Cannavale, Audrey Tatou and Susan Sarandon. No other characters from The Big Lebowski are expected to show up despite Jeff Bridges recently admitting he'd be up for playing "a little cameo" of The Dude in the future.
Turturro memorably appeared in one scene of the 1998 film which saw him bowling to the Gipsy Kings' version of "Hotel California" before uttering the immortal line: "Nobody f*cks with the Jesus.”
