Even with the total unlikelihood that this story ends up being true, I want to make sure MovieBuzzers has a record of posting this “story” if it does ring true! Earlier this month, Tara Reid (American Pie, Van Wilder) was caught outside of Jon Lovitz’s Comedy Club for a charity gig she was hosting by Hollywood.tv. During the all-too-brief interview, Reid mentioned that she’ll be filming the sequel to The Big Lebowski at the end of this year… although she seems to be the only person who knows anything about it. Hit more to check out the video, in which Reid also comments on the possibility of American Pie 4!
Now I hate to pick on Tara Reid, who’s had a long history of “Hollywood problems,” but she’s quite obviously not the best interview in the business. She stumbles through this conversation and brings up starring in both Big Lebowski 2 and American Pie 4 later this year. While the latter has been talked about in the past as a possibility, it’s a bit early to suggest it’s ready to film (or to say the “whole cast should be coming back” when there isn’t even a deal for the film in place or a completed script!) Likewise, Reid didn’t have a very extensive role in The Big Lebowski (she played Bunny Lebowski, the trophy wife of titular Big Lebowski), and I’m not sure Reid‘s character would necessarily even make it into a sequel, should there be one.
Obviously Jeff Bridges and the Coen Brothers are busy people — heck, they just made another film together in True Grit — but while Bridges has done sequels before (Texasville, Tron: Legacy), they don’t seem to be the Coens‘ thing. Since the Coens wrote, directed, and produced the film, it seems likely that they own the rights to the property and characters so it’s unlikely this could even be a Mean Girls 2 kind of sequel (read: straight to DVD with next to nothing to do with the original).
Check out the video below. Tara Reid reveals the “news” around the one-minute mark:
So what’s your take on this seemingly non-story — was Tara Reid on something during the interview? Let us know you best guess of what it might have been in the comments!
