Dukes of Hazzard First Pics

Recommended Posts

Guest Shutterspeed

Hey, they actually look half right for the part in that shot. That's not to say that their acting is the same.

I see only one problem...Jessica Simpson :shudders:

 

Hopefully her film career ends as quickly as Pamela Anderson's

I've also written the movie off, due to the blonde of doom. Such a pity too, cause I liked the casting for Bo and Luke.

 

The only way to save it now, is if Vance and Coy show up.

I didn't think it was so bad after seeing the first pic with all three cast members, thinking that if they concentrate on, yanno, the actual Dukes of Hazzard and not you-know-who, that it wouldn't be a problem

 

Then I got greeted by that second picture...

Seann William Scott .... Bo Duke

Johnny Knoxville .... Luke Duke

Jessica Simpson .... Daisy Duke

Burt Reynolds .... Boss Hogg

Willie Nelson .... Uncle Jesse

 

Simpson is the only problem I have with this cast.

I like that the director, Jay Chandrasekhar, is involved with Kevin Smith.

 

He directed Super Troopers too.

The director also works on Arrested Development, so there may be some hope, lets just hope Daisy's role is smaller than her shorts.

Burt Reynolds and Willie Nelson? Sorry it doesn't work for me. I'll always picture the fat guy in a white suite, and the fat guy with the white beard.

I have nothing against Burt or Willie in this...it's not bad casting, it's just different.

 

Yes Burt's skinny and Boss was fat, but I can see Burt playing the character well. If need be, Burt can wear a fat suit like the original Boss. I never considered Uncle Jesse to be a "fat guy" and if Willie grows a beard he'll be just fine.

Jessica's out of place but the Duke boys seem to fit their parts, especially Seann William Scott as Bo.

 

I, too, am wondering about Roscoe P. Coltrane and Enos.

Daisy was really in there for eye candy purposes, so I think Jessica fits the bill there. Except... Daisy wasn't exactly blonde, right?

 

The only problem with Burt Reynolds is that I keep seeing Norm as Burt Reynolds. Funny yes, reality no.

It would work great if Burt played Boss in a similiar manner to the way Gleason played Justice. Because I just am having Smokey & The Bandit flashbacks right now.

 

 

East bound and down...

I'm picturing the actual Burt Reynolds from movies like Cannonball run where he'd be chewing gum and laughing the entire time.

That's pretty much Norm's take on it, except (naturally) more over-the-top. He does a great Turd Ferguson...

She's going to bounce around in cutoffs and maybe hold a phallic symbol in a few scenes. Perfect casting.

Who cares if Jessica Simpson is the resident piece of redneck TnA? It's obviously going to be a comedy in the vein of the Starsky & Hutch movie with Stiller and Wilson, look at the rest of the cast, and get over it already.

Sean..William...Scott.

 

Christ, there went this movie. The best performance of his career was dying in Final Destination. The guy is about as unfunny as one man can be.

 

Knoxville looks surprisingly accurate from a distance but dear GOD does Scott and Simpson look out of place as hell.

 

That goofy grin of his is the downfall of the entire picture.

I also think that Seann William Scott will make this move suck. And I think Johnny Knoxville is playing the wrong Duke.

It's a fucking Dukes of Hazzard movie...

 

Are you guys expecting it to be filled with Academy Aware winning cast members?

 

Jesus...

And I can't really tell, but does it look like they removed the Confederate flag from the top of the Gen. Lee?

No.

But people who don't royally SUCK could have been found.

 

Knoxville looks good from a distance and he's not a horrible actor. So he's fine and dandy. Simpson, she doesn't look the part although no question she'll look good in the shorts which is all they were aiming for I'd bet.

 

Sean William Scott doesn't look the part and brings nothing to the table other than his ability to royally kill any amount of funny.

I thought Seann William Scott was pretty good in The Rundown, myself.

 

But as mentioned before, you can't be expecting much from this movie since it is indeed going to be like Starsky & Hutch. If they can find some good actors for Roscoe P. Coltrane and Enos, though, I'll be one happy camper.

 

And taking the confederate flag off the General E. Lee would be so terrible.
