IGN tells us a movie about Jesus Quintana, The Jesus, is coming to the big screen.
A spinoff of The Big Lebowski called Jesus Rolls and starring John Turturro himself has been confirmed for a 2020 release date by Screen Media, according to ComicBook.
The movie is being written and directed by Turturro and will tell a new story that features his classic character of Jesus Quintana and what he’s been up to in the time following The Big Lebowski.As rumored previously after the Stella Artois commercial that premiered during the 2019 Super Bowl, this is not a sequel to The Big Lebowski, and both Jeff Bridges and John Goodman will not be in the movie, nor will the Coen Brothers have any hand in the production, although they did give Turturro permission to use his character in a spinoff movie.
The handling of this character will be interesting, based on the original film ‘The Jesus’ is a registered sex offender.
In a statement, Turturro said, “It feels like a good time to release a transgressive film about the stupidity of men who try and fail and try better to understand and penetrate the mystery of women. I look forward to working with Screen Media and bring our work and the character of the Jesus to American audiences.”
