The Big Lebowski (2025) – Official Trailer – Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore, Jeff Bridges
The Dude is back! Nearly three decades after the cult classic, The Big Lebowski, shook up cinema with its offbeat humor and unforgettable characters, the Coen Brothers deliver a sequel that promises more laid-back chaos, surreal adventures, and, of course, White Russians. Jeff Bridges, Julianne Moore, and Steve Buscemi reprise their iconic roles, with some fresh new faces joining the madness.
Trailer Overview
The trailer opens with the familiar sound of Bob Dylan’s “The Man in Me” playing softly. We see The Dude (Jeff Bridges), older but no less relaxed, lounging in his trademark robe while sipping a White Russian. His voiceover begins:
“A lot can change in 30 years, man… but some things, well, they just abide.”
A knock at the door disrupts his peace, revealing Maude Lebowski (Julianne Moore) with shocking news: their estranged son (played by Paul Dano) is missing, tangled up in a new conspiracy involving stolen artwork, blackmail, and a mysterious bowling tournament with ties to the criminal underworld.
The Dude reluctantly reunites with his old bowling buddy Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) and Donny (Steve Buscemi)—yes, somehow, Donny’s back. Together, they embark on a surreal journey through Los Angeles, encountering bizarre characters, shady deals, and more rugs that really tie the room together.
Key Scenes in the Trailer
