PanARMENIAN.Net - John Turturro is seeking permission from the Coen Brothers to film a Big Lebowski spinoff, Digital Spy said.

The actor and filmmaker remains committed to bringing his character Jesus Quintana back to the screen.

"If I can get the permission I need, I'd like to return to that role," said Turturro at Taormina Film Festival (via The Hollywood Reporter).

The Coens have previously remarked on Turturro's interest, but have said that they have no plans to revisit the world of 'The Dude'.

Turturro's Jesus served as a minor antagonist in the 1998 comedy starring Jeff Bridges, Julianne Moore, John Goodman and Steve Buscemi.

The actor recently starred with Woody Allen in Fading Gigolo , which he also directed.

He has said that he does not want to be remembered for his role in the Transformers films.
