In The Big Lebowski, Jesus Quintana was a bowling rival of The Dude (Jeff Bridges), Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) and Donny Kerabatsos (Steve Buscemi).
It isn’t known if Grammercy Pictures, the studio that distributed The Big Lebowski, would be involved, but the actor revealed that he actually created the Jesus character himself, while teasing that he has been practicing his bowling skills as of late.
While John Turturro wouldn’t offer details about the legal situation, it’s possible that it may hinge on the now-defunct production house behind The Big Lebowski, Polygram.
The Coen Brothers’ off-beat comedy The Big Lebowski didn’t exactly set the box office on fire when it debuted in 1998, earning just $17.4 million.
