More than 250 items from Joel and Ethan Coen’s 1998 classic film The Big Lebowski starring Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Julianne Moore and Steve Buscemi will be hitting the block in December as part of a Julien’s Auctions and Turner Classic Movies joint event.
The auction comes on the heels of the film celebrating its 25th anniversary earlier this year. A portion of the proceeds from the auction will support Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign. Bridges serves as a national spokesperson for No Kid Hungry.
The auction will feature a rare offering of the film’s complete storyboards from start to finish by artist J. Todd Anderson. Created with brush, pencil, pen and ink on standard bond paper they include handwritten text stating scenes such like “tumbleweed scene,” “grocery store scene,” “bungalow scene,” “home invasion scene,” “bowling Scene” and “Big Lebowski mansion scene” and more.
Other items include Bridges’ “The Dude” costume including a light brown knitted fleece bathrobe, an off-white cotton Jockey t-shirt and sunglasses. The ensemble is expected to fetch anywhere between $30,000 – $50,000. Bridges also signed memorabilia such as donated film replica bowling pins that he made unique doodles on, a bowling ball returned from the set of the production and other items.
The Big Lebowski lots will be offered up on the third day of Julien’s Auctions and TCM Present: Hollywood Legends that runs from Dec. 14-17 in Beverly Hills and online at JuliensLive.com.
