The Lebowski Child
Posted by jaw86336@reddit | lebowski | View on Reddit | 82 comments
Just watched Lebowski for the nth time and it seems like there’s an obvious story to be told about a young man having grown up in an affluent environment to a single artist mother on a mission to discover who his dad is.

He grew up with Bunny as his stepmom and knew Jackie Treehorn. He went on to invent stepmom porn and turned it into a natural, zesty enterprise.

Look son. I'm sorry your grandma is a nympho, or whatever.

And... Ummmmmm... Dude... Wouldn't Bunny be his.... Ummmmm. Step grandmother.

Were you listening to Dude’s story?

Very overrated movie.
JonnyLay@reddit
Look up "The only living boy in New York"
It's basically about the little Lebowski.
jaw86336@reddit (OP)
Thank you for the recommendation, this was a very enjoyable movie for many reasons. However, the character played by Jeff Bridges is not The Dude. Personally, what I’d want is a Little Lebowski that has a contradictory character as that from The Dude with its ensuing conflict. The trajectory of the plot is the Lebowskis working through that conflict.
JonnyLay@reddit
Yep, it's a stretch, but it's fun to pretend.

You’ll never get him back on the farm once he’s seen Karl Hungus.

The Little Lebowski: Achieving Korea
Abiding_Dude_WV@reddit
Who would you cast to be Little Lebowski in a followup film? He'd be like 33-34ish right now...that would be an interesting watch.
jaw86336@reddit (OP)
He’d be 33-34 today, but the plot need now be present time. The question would be what is the narrative portrayed with respect to the protagonist.
Abiding_Dude_WV@reddit
The Big Lebowski lived to be about 99. They're having his wake, Dude was in the neighborhood and needed to use the john, and wanders in. Of course Maude and her son are there and Dude and his spawn come face to face for the first time. They all decide to take a trip to Korea to spread the Big Lebowski's ashes on the battlefield where his legs were left. Shenanigans ensue.

Can you imagine if one of your “village “ was a video artist with a cleft asshole?
Chubbd-ong@reddit
What if he tries to rebel in his teens and is fatuous all the time?
n8ertheh8er@reddit
I bet he’s a huge eagles fan. Has a big hotel California poster in his wall.

With a lot of Glenn Frey energy, if you know what I mean.
jaw86336@reddit (OP)
Yeah! Sometimes kids grow up to be the opposite of their parents. What if the little Lebowski grows up to be a Jan. 6 Trumper and then meets The Dude? That could be fun, kind of a remake of the movie Flashback; https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashback_(1990_film)
Vic_Vega_MrB@reddit
I wonder if it will be somehow slipped into a reference on r/FargoTV. We will have to look closely...
tgold77@reddit
Hmmm. Almost like an LA detective story.

Outside of character, the Coens hate sequels and would never do one. The Jesus Rolls is bad enough.
bart_may@reddit
They could do tv series, already did this with Fargo
Ralph--Hinkley@reddit
Coens didn't come one to that until the first season was about done because they were so impressed with Noah Hawley's script. I suppose it's entirely possible.
Ralph--Hinkley@reddit
That was written by Noah Hawley, the only thing the Coens had to do with it is the name.
BeatConsistent6428@reddit
Not completely, there is still the mooted Barton Fink sequel.
Prophet-of-Ganja@reddit
A novel that acted as a sequel to the events of the movie would actually be pretty far fucking out.
george_kaplan1959@reddit
The story is ludicrous
here4daratio@reddit
You can guess where it goes from here…
Simple_Purple_4600@reddit
I always hoped The Little Lebowski would be made. There's still time, although the Coens don.t seem all that attached to the universe.

Of course!!!!

That story could be a zesty, natural enterprise

That child listened to Nagelbett all the time growing up. Autobahn was his favorite band.

Dio_Yuji@reddit
I’ve written a screenplay for this exact story. The Coens agreed to buy it, but only if they have editing rights. I’ll be damned if I’ll let them make a movie from a compromised second draft
joelmole79@reddit
You ever hear of the Coen brothers? That’s me… and one other guy.
node-342@reddit
I call bullshit. Joel Coen got born before 1979, u/joelmole79. He's not you.

EvDaze@reddit
I've already written the screenplay. It is called The Little Lebowski. DM me if anyone wants to produce this film.
khetti79@reddit
Alternately, Maude loses the baby because she refused to put her zip-line painting career on hold, even during the third trimester. A darkness warshed over the li'l Dude...
Conscious-Agency-782@reddit
Take my upvote. It’s so fucked up, but I’m fucking dying laughing.
Motherboy_TheBand@reddit
It’d be funnier if the child is a daughter. Guess she’d be about 35, maybe going to have a child of her own now, the dudes granddaughter aka The Little Lebowski.
DaddieTang@reddit
Dude Jr's mom was 40+. Dad smoked and tripped. Kid Def had the downs.
jeffbas@reddit
I would never cast my vote for a sequel, but every time I see Wyatt Russell, I think “hey there’s the Little Lebowski”
And I like his style.

I had AI write this story and I posted it in here about a year ago. Everyone got mad and said no AI content, and the mods removed it like a bunch of 8 year olds. I got buddies who died face down in the muck so you and I could enjoy this subreddit. This is not 'Nam.

So he's Lebowski, his father is Lebowski, he's grandfather is Lebowski. That's terrific.

We need a sequel. The Little Lebowski. Starring the Rizzler.

But which lebowski will he stumble on? The millionaire or the deadbeat
jaw86336@reddit (OP)
Presumably his mother directs him in some vague way.

She’s not going to see him socially.

The millionaire is his grandfather
