Jeff Bridges debuted a mysterious video on Thursday, where he reprises his role as The Dude from the 1998 cult classic The Big Lebowski. 'Can’t be living in the past, man. Stay tuned,' Bridges said on Twitter. While some have wondered if it's the first look at an unconfirmed sequel to The Big Lebowski, fans will find out more on February 3, the date of Super Bowl LIII. Super Bowl Dude: Jeff Bridges drops a surprise video where he returns as The Dude from The Big Lebowski, which is likely a teaser for a Super Bowl ad The 15-second video opens with a broken dinner plate and a glass on the floor, which a foot stops short of stepping on. It's slowly revealed that the foot belongs to Jeff Bridges' The Dude, a.k.a. Jeffrey Lebowski, wearing his signature shades, flannel pants and Pendleton sweater. He briefly looks around, flips his head to lower the shades down briefly onto his nose, before gruffly laughing and walking away. The Dude abides: It's slowly revealed that the foot belongs to Jeff Bridges' The Dude, a.k.a. Jeffrey Lebowski, wearing his signature shades, flannel pants and Pendleton sweater The video ends with a tumbleweed rolling past a red carpet, revealing the date 2.3.19, the date of the Super Bowl. The odds of this video actually teasing a sequel to The Big Lebowski seem slim, given that nothing has been announced or rumored, but there could be a hint in the fine print. The very bottom of the video reads '2019 Universal City Studios LLC,' which is a company that Universal Studios theme parks are under, not Universal Pictures, which could indicate that a theme park attraction for The Big Lebowski is in the works. Tumbleweed: The video ends with a tumbleweed rolling past a red carpet, revealing the date 2.3.19, the date of the Super Bowl Fine print: The odds of this video actually teasing a sequel to The Big Lebowski seem slim, given that nothing has been announced or rumored, but there could be a hint in the fine print It's also possible that Universal is using the same kind of tactic employed by Tourism Australia last year, when a mysterious teaser was released for a new Crocodile Dundee sequel. The video featured prominent Australian actors Chris Hemsworth, Hugh Jackman, Margot Robbie, Russell Crowe, Isla Fisher, Ruby Rose, and Jessica Mauboy. The video wasn't actually for a sequel to the 1985 hit Crocodile Dundee, but instead a long-form ad to promote tourism in Australia.

The movie celebrated its 20th anniversary last year, with Universal releasing a limited edition Blu-ray edition. There is a Big Lebowski spin-off, Going Places, which follows John Turturro's character Jesus Quintana, which is slated for release later this year.<doc-sep>When you subscribe we will use the information you provide to send you these newsletters.

It’s been over 20 years since The Coen Brothers introduced the world to Bridges’ The Dude in cult classic The Big Lebowski. And suddenly the star has shared a video of himself reprising his most iconic role. The familiar sound of Bob Dylan’s The Man In Me pops up as the camera pans over broken plates and glass. Then, from feet to head we get the full body shot of The Dude ambling across the room in his big sunglasses. The Dude looks at the camera and smiles before a shot of a street sees a tumbleweed roll by. A release date is revealed as February 3, 2019 – which sports fans will know is the Super Bowl this year. And of course, the sporting event is a prime time in the ad breaks for some of the year’s biggest movie trailers. So should fans be expecting a The Big Lebowski 2 trailer at the Super Bowl or just a return of The Dude in some other form?<doc-sep>
The Dude still abides. Jeff Bridges tweeted out a teaser video of himself appearing as his iconic character from “The Big Lebowski,” the 1998 Coen Brothers cult classic on Thursday morning. “Can’t be living in the past man. Stay tuned,” Bridges tweeted. The video shows Bridges, dressed as The Dude (aka Jeffrey Lebowski), turning to the camera looking down while wearing sunglasses and laughing. It then concludes with a tumbleweed going past a red carpet and revealing “2.3.19.” That, of course, is the day of Super Bowl LIII, and it’s unclear at this point whether Bridges is appearing in a Super Bowl ad, or if there are plans for something larger that will be revealed on that day. Representatives for Bridges declined to comment. The video also ends with a trademark for “Universal City Studios,” and representatives for Universal did not immediately respond to comment. There has long been speculation about a “Big Lebowski” reunion, reboot or sequel. For the film’s 20th anniversary in October 2018, Bridges appeared with co-stars Steve Buscemi and John Goodman for a lengthy “Today” show interview. John Turturro also revived his character Jesus Quintana, the trash-talking bowler in “The Big Lebowski,” for a planned spinoff film called “Going Places.” During last year’s Super Bowl, Chris Hemsworth faked people out into thinking there might be a new “Crocodile Dundee” movie. So maybe you don’t think there’s a chance at another “Lebowski” movie, but that’s just like, your opinion, man. Watch the video Bridges shared below: Can’t be living in the past, man. Stay tuned. pic.twitter.com/zL2CLYhGAM — Jeff Bridges (@TheJeffBridges) January 24, 2019
