attn: DUKES OF HAZAARD VIEWERS

Flash??

As a former huge fan of the Dukes -- I can say with certainty that yes, the basset hound in the Dukes of Hazard was Rosco's and his name was Flash! Right-o!

Duke of Hazzard?? Never heard of the show.

>sigh<
i loved the dukes of hazard.
Did ya know they are making a movie out of it?
it wasnt THAT good. hehe.
Jessica simpson will play Daisy ( ewww )
but I have no idea who else will fill what role..

Yep, it's gonna be a movie, this year! I can't wait. Plus I love Jessica Simpson and this should be good. Here's what IMDB had to say about the cast:

Seann William Scott .... Bo Duke
Johnny Knoxville .... Luke Duke
Jessica Simpson .... Daisy Duke
Burt Reynolds .... Boss Hogg
Willie Nelson .... Uncle Jesse
David Koechner .... Cooter Davenport

I'm neither a connoisseur nor necessarily a huge fan of The Dukes of Hazard but I watched this show growing up and the choice of actors picked to play the roles in the movie doesn't make much sense to me. I'm not saying they have to be spitting images of the actors who played the roles in the TV show but come on, they have to be believable.

Seann William Scott as Bo Duke
He has kind of a country look and demeanor about him which is in keeping with the character. Works for me.

Johnny Knoxville as Luke Duke
Knoxville is considered an actor? Really? I guess getting hit in the in the nether region with a sledgehammer qualifies him to act….well, o.k. Luke Duke lived on the farm and did farm chores therefore would naturally be in shape and muscular. Knoxville is neither.

Jessica Simpson as Daisy Duke
Simpson's claim to fame is her incompetence and stupidity. Daisy Duke was neither. The only thing in common with the character is her hotness although in my opinion, Catherine Bach is hotter. Again, another non-actor in this role.

Burt Reynolds as Boss Hogg
I think Reynolds can pull this off, no big problems here. He has that southern quality about him and I can see this working if he plays it right.

Willie Nelson as Uncle Jessie
This is not much of a stretch but again, another non-actor.

It seems to me the "actors" chosen to play the roles were picked just to get asses in the seats of the movie theater but not necessarily in keeping with the spirit of the original TV series.

RfromP-
oh boy do I agree. The cast makes absoultly no sense to me either.
Burt Reynolds? Umm.. boss hog was a short fat white man with grey hair and blue eyes.. Not dark hair, not tall, not brown eyed... ?? I understand you cant fit a character perfectly PHYSICALLY... but you dont have to be so far off on the looks . Burt Reynolds can do the part, I dont question that a bit, I just dont see a physical fit. One of the funniest things about boss hog was that he was so damn short. his hat would barely be visable when he sat in the back seat of his lincoln. Burt Reynolds will tower over Roscoe... the match isnt there for a good representation of Boss Hogg's character..
I can see Johnny Noxville.. He looks like the 2 tv actors who played Luke. I think that is the only one who bears some resemblace to who they are playing.
But Like you said, Since when was he an actor? I can see a physical resemblance... uhh.. thats about it!
I dont like Jessica Simpson personally. Daisy duke wasnt blonde, and she wasnt dumb. hehehe. And yes, the original Daisy was ALOT hotter then Jessica. She had a great sex appeal and really fit the character as well. Jessica doesnt. Not even physically.
Oh well, doesnt mean I wont watch it. I will watch it and probally love it because I am wierd like that. :-)
