The first photo from Going Places, John Turturro’s The Big Lebowski spinoff featuring his character Jesus Quintana, appeared online in October 2016.
The Coens, who wrote and directed The Big Lebowski, are not actively involved in Going Places, even if they did give the project the okay to move forward.
‘They’re my friends, close friends, and were supportive when I said I wanna explore this character more.
It’s a comedy but a very human comedy,’ he says, adding that the Coens have totally given their blessing.
