Your thoughts on this movie......

A spin-off of The Big Lebowski centered on the notable bowler, Jesus Quintana.

Going Places
Director: John Turturro (“Fading Gigolo,” “Illuminata”)
Cast: John Turturro, Bobby Cannavale, Susan Sarandon, Audrey Tautou
Details: John Turturro reprises his iconic “The Big Lebowski” role of bowling enthusiast and Latin American North Hollywood resident Jesus Quintana. The thick Puerto Rican accent and the referring to himself in the third person character traits return for the project which is technically an unofficial spin-off. The Coen Brothers have previously said they have no plans to do a ‘Lebowski’ follow-up and aren’t involved here but have given Turturro permission to use the character which he was mostly responsible for any way in the original.

The new film also serves as a remake of Bertrand Blier’s 1974 French film “Going Places” and follows a trio of sexually depraved misfits including Quintana along with characters played by Bobby Cannavale and Audrey Tautou. The irreverent and highly charged dynamic reportedly evolves into a surprising love story as they inadvertently perform good deeds. They’re also pursued by both the law and a gun-toting hairdresser. Hopefully, it will be some naughty bed-hopping caper fun.
