Photos: The 'Big Lebowski' Cast Reunites at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom
17 August 2011
Fans of Joel and Ethan Coen's peerless 1998 comedy The Big Lebowski assembled at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom on Tuesday night to celebrate the movie's long-awaited Blu-ray release with reunited cast members Jeff Bridges, Julianne Moore, John Goodman, John Turturro and Steve Buscemi. (Also present: the film's musical director T Bone Burnett, who won an Oscar in 2010 for another collaboration with Bridges, Crazy Heart's "The Weary Kind.") Gathered here is pictorial evidence – some provided by pros, some strictly amateur, dude – of the party that ensued, featuring on-stage interviews with the movie's best-known achievers and a screening complete with raucous participation by the noisy nihilists in attendance.
