The Coen brothers have denied rumours that a sequel to The Big Lebowski is being developed.

The rumours gathered steam after a report last year, with some news outlets suggesting that a new film centring on John Turturro's Jesus was already at the casting stages.

While confirming that Turturro was keen to make a second film, the Coens told the Toronto Star that they have no desire to do so.

"John Turturro, who wants it, talks to us incessantly about doing a sequel about his character Jesus," Ethan Coen said. "He even has the story worked out, which he's pitched to us a few times, but I can't really remember it. No, I don't see it in our future."

"I don't think it's going to happen," Joel Coen added. "I just don't like sequels."

The Coens' latest film Inside Llewyn Davies took home the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival this weekend.
