In what might be their first comments on the idea, the Coen brothers revealed to MTV News that they have spoken with Turturro but that it's unlikely a movie will ever happen.

 

"Oh, he's serious," Ethan said while in Toronto promoting their upcoming flick, "A Serious Man." "He's on-board."

 

"He's very serious," Joel added.

 

"Yeah, it could happen," Ethan said, before admitting, "We don't see it."

Jeff Bridges: 'I'd like to do 'The Big Lebowski 2''

When asked by Metro if he'd like to return to the role of the unemployed bowling fan he played in the 1998 film, he answered: "Oh, absolutely. But I wouldn't count on that."

He added: "It doesn't seem like something the Coen Brothers would be interested in, but then again they're always about surprising us, so who knows, maybe they'll surprise us again. I'd do it again."
