Famous Big Lebowski character Jesus Quintana is back starring on the big screen later this year, and the first trailer for his upcoming spin-off The Jesus Rolls has an intriguing new trailer to appeal your appetite.

Jeff Bridges, the clip shows Jesus (John Turturro, who also directed the film) having a ball at his favorite activity as he licks a bowling ball before shooting down a lane and, apparently, into space. The film in a stylistic move that recalls the first film’s trippy aesthetic — to land a strike.

Also starring Bobby Cannavale, Susan Sarandon, Jon Hamm, Audrey Tautou, and Christopher Walken, The Jesus Rolls follows the titular character just as he’s released from prison, upon which he pairs with fellow misfits Petey (Cannavale) and Marie (Tautou) to embark on a freewheeling joyride of small crime and romantic engagements.

The teaser of the film debuts 22 years after The Big Lebowski first hit theaters in 1998, turning into a cult classic and one of Joel and Ethan Coen’s most popular films to date.

“It feels like a good time to release a transgressive film about the stupidity of men who try and fail and try better to understand and penetrate the mystery of women,” Turturro previously said of making the film. “I look forward to working with Screen Media and bring our work and the character of the Jesus to American audiences.”

A release date for The Jesus Rolls has yet to be announced. Watch the first teaser above.
