The first Lebowski Fest in the UK will be held in Edinburgh on
24th August and London on
30th August, shortly after the publication of I'm a Lebowski, You're a
Lebowski, The Ultimate Guide to the Coen Brother's Classic Film.
In 1998, the Coen Brothers followed the global success of their smash hit
Fargo with a rambling tale of lies, corruption and bowling in early 90s
L.A. - The Big Lebowski. In the years that followed, the movie took on a
life of its own, spawning a culture of quotable lines, White Russians and
Lebowski Fest, an annual event attracting thousands of Big Lebowski fans
from across the globe.
Written by the organisers of Lebowski Fest, I'm a Lebowski, You're a
Lebowski is the ultimate guide to this cult film. The book features a
foreword and behind-the-scenes photos by Jeff Bridges, who plays the film's
main character of `The Dude'. It includes interviews with virtually every
actor from the film including John Goodman, Julianne Moore, and John
Turturro. Within the pages of this book you'll also find out how to order a
White Russian like an Achiever and read interviews with the real-life
eccentrics who inspired the film's main characters. Jeff Dowd (The Dude)
and John Milius (Walter) tell their stories and describe how they
influenced the film.
Bill Green is a graphic designer and the poster artist for
Lebowski Fest. Ben Peskoe is a Web developer and a writer. Will Russell, a
magician, and Scott Shuffitt, an artist, are the Founding Dudes of Lebowski
Fest.
