Jeff Bridges is currently riding high in the world of movies with two massive films playing in cinemas this month, TRON: LEGACY, and the upcoming TRUE GRIT (which is out in the US, but doesn’t hit the UK until February). The actor recently conducted an interview with the guys over at Hitfix, where he was asked which character from his impressive back catalogue of film he would like to bring back to life in a new move. Here’s what he had to say:
“The Dude [from ‘The Big Lebowski’] would be nice, I don’t think that’s in the cards,” he explained. “‘Starman,’ I always wondered what happened there? That’s kind of set up. Karen Allen is preggers. She’s got that little ball and stuff. What’s up with that?”
STARMAN, which he refers to is the 1980’s classic directed by John Carpenter about an alien who crash lands on Earth who takes on the appearance of a woman’s dead husband. It’s another one of those movies that you watched as a kid on TV at Christmas time. Maybe this trailer will help jog your memory.
