“A spin-off of The Big Lebowski centered on the notable bowler, Jesus Quintana.”

Directed by veteran actor John Turturro (Fading Gigolo), The Jesus Rolls follows a trio of misfits whose irreverent, sexually charged dynamic evolves into a surprising love story as their spontaneous and flippant attitude towards the past or future backfires time and again, even as they inadvertently perform good deeds. When they make enemies with a gun-toting hairdresser, their journey becomes one of constant escape from the law, from society and from the hairdresser, all while the bonds of their outsider family strengthen. Check out the official trailers below!!

Ted Takes Fun Facts, The Jesus Rolls:

  • The Coens only involvement is giving John Turturro permission to use the Jesus Quintana character. Though the character was created by the Coens in "The Big Lebowski", it was John Turturro who came up with Jesus's eccentric personality and mannerisms.
