Going Places is an upcoming American crime comedy film written, directed by, and starring John Turturro, acting as both a remake of the 1974 French film of the same name by Bertrand Blier, and a spin-off to the 1998 cult film The Big Lebowski by the Coen brothers, from which Turturro reprises his role as Jesus Quintana.

Like the original Going Places, it follows a trio of sexually depraved misfits, played by Turturro, Bobby Cannavale, and Audrey Tautou.

Cast

Production

The Coen brothers, who wrote, directed, and produced The Big Lebowski, stated on several occasions that they would never make a Lebowski sequel.[4] However, John Turturro expressed keen interest in reprising his role as Jesus since 2011.[5][6] Despite not being one of the film's writers, most of Jesus' character came from Turturro's own ideas, which led the Coens to give him a bigger place in the film.[7] In 2014, Turturro announced that he had requested permission from the Coens to use the character.[8]

In August 2016, it was announced that Turturro, after being granted the right to use the character of Jesus by the Coens, had already started filming the spin-off, which he would also write and direct. It was also announced the film would be a remake of the 1974 French film Going Places directed by Bertrand Blier, which was itself based on his own novel Les valseuses.[9][2] The film was originally supposed to be titled 100 Minutes with Jesus.[1] The Coen brothers are not involved in the production.

Filming

Filming began in August 2016 in New York City and Los Angeles.[2]
