The Large Lebowski’s Jesus Quintana is again in first trailer for The Jesus Rolls

Red-clad bowling sensation Jesus Quintana is out of jail and in a position for a kinky epic road-trip journey within the first trailer for The Jesus Rolls, written via, directed via, and starring John Turturro. The movie is being touted as a sequel to the Coen brothers’ 1998 cult movie The Large Lebowski, however in fact the one shared issue is Quintana’s personality. It is actually a remake of the arguable 1974 French movie Going Puts, which used to be directed via Bertrand Blier and starred a tender Gérard Depardieu.

When the Coen brothers launched their quirky crime comedy in 1998, it won blended opinions and grossed a modest $46.7 million globally in opposition to its $15 million finances. However The Large Lebowski has since accomplished cult standing, thank you largely to Jeff Bridges’ winsome portrayal of stoner/novice thinker Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski and the catchphrase “the Dude abides.” There may be an annual Lebowski Fest held in quite a lot of towns, a Church of the Latter-Day Dude, and Bridges even gave the impression in personality remaining 12 months for a Tremendous Bowl advert for Stella Artois beer.

Jesus Quintana is a minor personality within the movie, however he is additionally a fan favourite: a swaggering, foul-mouthed bowling rival whose pre-roll ritual comprises seductively licking his ball. He is additionally, as Walter (John Goodman) says, a pervert—in particular, a pedophile who spent six months in jail for exposing himself to an Eight-year-old woman.

The Coen brothers have at all times stated they might by no means make a sequel to The Large Lebowski, however Turturro has lengthy sought after to restore his personality, and in 2016, the brothers granted him the precise to make use of Quintana. (They’re another way now not concerned with The Jesus Rolls.) Remaking a French movie notorious for being vulgar, morally ambiguous, and depicting kinky sexual promiscuity may appear to be an strange selection, however “It looks like a great time to unencumber a transgressive movie concerning the stupidity of guys who attempt to fail and check out higher to know and penetrate the thriller of ladies,” Turturro stated in a observation.

Judging via the trailer, the movie actually does appear to apply the arc of its French predecessor relatively carefully. In keeping with the authentic premise, “Hours after being launched from jail, Jesus Quintana (John Turturro) pairs up with fellow misfits Petey (Bobby Cannavale) and Marie (Audrey Tautou), and embark on a freewheeling joyride of petty crime and romance.”

The trailer opens with a cameo via the at all times pleasant Christopher Walken because the jail warden, cautioning Quintana that he’s going to be locked up for excellent if he transgresses yet another time. And he teases him about his bowling taste: “By no means observed any person lick a ball, he idea he’d throw a strike.”  As soon as launched, Jesus meets up with Petey and promptly encourages him to scouse borrow a automobile even though they’re each on parole. “I do know you were given a screwdriver.”

That automobile belongs to hairdresser Paul Dominique (Jon Hamm), who questions the knowledge of celebrating one’s unencumber from jail via stealing a automobile sooner than pulling a gun. Jesus and Petey flee, taking Paul’s assistant, Marie (Audrey Tautou), with them. There is a run-in with a shop safety guard, a place of hitchhiking, a Pete Davidson sighting, and a three-way with Marie (who boasts of getting 374 guys, now not counting Jesus and Petey).

Alongside the best way, as in Going Puts, they pick out up an older lady named Jean (Susan Sarandon), who may be contemporary out of jail, and feature some other threesome. (Footage of the steamy intercourse scene between the 73-year-old Sarandon, Turturro, and Cannavale have already leaked.) That, too, is featured within the unique Going Puts, which additionally incorporated Jean’s suicide and the deflowering of a teenaged virgin. It is still observed if The Jesus Rolls may have a extra up to date sensibility or whether or not it’ll turn out to be as arguable as a movie that Roger Ebert referred to as cynically decadent and “probably the most misogynistic film I will be able to consider.”

The Jesus Rolls premiered in Rome remaining October and hits theaters on February 28, 2020.
