Live-read of 'The Big Lebowski'

A cloud of weed descends on Jason Reitman's live-read of 'The Big Lebowski'



"smell of burning marijuana wafted over the audience." 

This was the scene at Jason Reitman's live-read of The Big Lebowski last night, with Seth Rogen on stage recreating the Coen brothers movie alongside Christina Hendricks, Jason Alexander, Rainn Wilson, and surprise guest Sam Elliott, playing the part he originated 15 years ago.

How someone at the reading could get away with smoking a joint in the middle of a packed theater at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is something we?ll just have to ask the boys down at the crime lab. (Maybe the LAPD should get four more detectives working on the case.)

Reitman's recreation of classic movies with alternate casts have become a hot ticket in Los Angeles, especially since they're not recorded for wide release. For the sixth and final one of the season, the Up in the Air and Juno director got sponsor Film Independent to put speakers in the LACMA courtyard so the wait-listers who didn't get in could listen.
