The teasing will not stand, man. If our eyes aren't deceiving us, it appears that The Dude, in all his printed sweater glory, will return. Does that mean we're getting a sequel to The Big Lebowski a full 20 years after the original?



Jeff Bridges posted a 15-second clip on Twitter Thursday afternoon with the very Lebowski-type truism: Can’t be living in the past, man. Stay tuned. Duly noted, man. The clip has The Dude, looking fresh as ever in sunglasses and his signature sweater, stepping into a room that looks like it's seen better days. He lets out a quick chuckle as a tumbleweed rolls by revealing the date of February 3, 2019.

Does The Dude, His Dudeness, or El Duderino need a sequel? Probably not. Sometimes it's best not to try and recreate something so perfect to begin with. The Big Lebowski, which originally was released in 1998, has become a Coen brothers cult classic. The clip is likely just Bridges resurrecting his (greatest?) character for a quick Super Bowl spot (which lands on February 3), but it's nice to know after all this time that Jeffrey Lebowski is still out there living his truth. Perhaps bowling with a little Lebowski?

To quote The Stranger, "I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that. It's good knowing he's out there, the Dude, takin' 'er easy for all us sinners." We'll see you February 3, El Duderino. We're waiting.
