If you\u2019ve been to the cinema at any point in the last 50 years, chances are you\u2019ve seen a Jeff Bridges<\/a> movie. The Oscar-winning icon has been putting a shift in for over half-a-century and never fails to catch your eye, be it in a hard-hitting drama, a hilarious comedy, or whatever the hell R.I.P.D was.\u00a0<\/p>\n Unlike so many of his colleagues, Bridges hasn\u2019t appeared in that many franchises. He was the villain in Iron Man, the very first entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but he\u2019s never played Obidah Stane again. <\/p>\n There are exceptions to this rule, of course. He probably didn\u2019t think he\u2019d still be playing Kevin Flynn over 40 years later when he first starred in Tron, but Disney refuses to let the series die. He was able to get out of doing the R.I.P.D prequel, though, which might be the smartest thing he\u2019s ever done<\/a>.<\/p>\n That doesn\u2019t mean he isn\u2019t open to the idea, however. Speaking with About Film<\/a>, the veteran star was asked about one of the more obscure entries in his catalogue, and he expressed a desire to drop back into that particularly world. <\/p>\n \u201cThere ought to be a sequel to Nadine,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s one of the great things about this biz. It\u2019s a pretty small one, so chances are that you link up again with people that you\u2019ve worked with.\u201d<\/p>\n You\u2019d be forgiven for not even knowing Nadine existed, never mind having seen it. The film came out in 1987, directed by Robert Benton \u2013 the same fella behind Bonnie & Clyde and Kramer vs Kramer. Jeff Bridges plays the husband of Nadine, a hairdresser played by Kim Basinger. She gets herself into a bit of bother after posing for some risqu\u00e9 photos to make a few quid. When she goes to get them back, she finds the photographer\u2019s been bumped off, and just like that, she\u2019s in it up to her neck.<\/p>\n Basinger, who was also present for this interview, also has a soft spot for Nadine. \u201cI loved that experience,\u201d she said. \u201cThat was great\u201d. <\/p>\n Regrettably, the public didn\u2019t seem to agree. The movie didn\u2019t even manage to claw back its measly budget, despite a strong cast and a recognisable director behind the camera. Critics didn\u2019t seem to like it either, as it sits on a pretty shocking 46% on Rotten Tomatoes. Perhaps more damning are the stats surrounding it on Letterboxd. Only 2,700 members of the site have even seen the film, which sits on a rating of 2.8 out of five.\u00a0<\/p>\n The way Nadine ends leaves it open for a sequel even after all these years. However, all of those low numbers point towards it remaining a one-and-done. At least Bridges and Basinger did eventually get to work together again. They played a married couple again 17 years later in The Door in the Floor, a film that contains Bridges\u2019 favourite scene<\/a> from his entire career.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Related Topics<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Credits: Far Out \/ Siebbi) Mon 17 November 2025 6:30, UK If you\u2019ve been to the cinema at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":267701,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,55432,110618,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-267700","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-jeff-bridges","10":"tag-kim-basinger","11":"tag-movies","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267700","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267700"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267700\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/267701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267700"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267700"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
