Quit while you’re ahead, Tara Reid. Understandably excited about the upcoming American Pie reunion film—not just Eugene Levy and a descendant of Stifler this time!—Tara announced outside benefit show that she’ll also be doing The Big Lebowski 2 this year. Apparently this was news to that classic film’s directors, the Coen Bros. “Well, we don’t [have plans] but we’ll watch it when it comes out,” Ethan told Austin 360, with Joel adding “Especially if Tara’s in it.” Did Tara dream this, or did someone trick her into believing The Big Lebowski: Dude Of The Moon was go-time?
Here’s Tara’s rep’s explanation, courtesy of EW: “She heard Jeff Bridges say that he wanted to make Big Lebowski 2 and have all the original cast members in it, so she may have misspoke, thinking that included her based on what Jeff said.” Gee, you don’t think he was talking about John Goodman, Julianne Moore and Philip Seymour Hoffman, do ya, Tara? But hey, if the Coens don’t control the sequel rights, whoever does should jump on Tara’s vision. Couldn’t be any worse than S. Darko, could it?
