'The Big Lebowski 2: The Adventures of Donnie'?

Posted 7/16/07 11:52 am EST by in News, Video


There's been a bit of chatter lately -- courtesy of a John Turturro interview in ESPN Magazine -- about a "Big Lebowski" sequel of sorts. It seems we might not have hear the last of Turturro's notorious bowling ball licking Jesus character. At least that's what he hopes (and so do we). So where does Steve Buscemi stand on a "Lebowski" sequel? He told us he's all for it, but since his character is dead (remember what happened to poor Donnie's ashes?) he has another concept in mind for the Coen brothers. "You could have the prequel to 'The Big Lebowski'" Buscemi said. So whose story would this be? Buscemi's got it covered. "It could be the life of Donnie the surfer because remember, he not only bowls, he surfs."

That's all well and good, but when is Steve going to show up for one of those "Big Lebowski" festivals that are getting increasingly popular? Watch Buscemi's hilarious and completely unambiguous answer below.

Ever since Daniel Craig started asking for his martinis shaken, not stirred, Sienna Miller has been mentioned as a potential Bond girl. And why not? The two are great friends and, of course, co-starred in Craig's Bond tune-up, "Layer Cake."

And lo and behold, she seems up for it, saying "bring it on" to being a part of the Bond franchise. Check it out below, and make sure to read our entire conversation with Sienna here, or better yet watch our Rough Cut: Sienna Miller here.
