Oh great ...is nothing sacred?  I bet it's gonna be another special effects and computer graphics bonanza like the remake of Gone in Sixty Seconds. What utter wibblepoo that was compared to the original. Doing remakes of old stuff like this just shows how little idea Hollywood really has of why shows such as the Dukes of Hazzard are still so highly regarded. It seems every time they try something like this it ends up as a pile of steaming exrement. About time they stopped cashing in and tried using some imagination instead. |

Jessica Simpson? Thats horrid little brat? Does she even have legs worthy of showing? Who's gonna be luke and Bo? David Hasslehoff and Jason Donovan?
I suspect that the new dukes of hazzard Film will make it straight onto video.
I must admit if they made it tongue in cheek, then it might be entertaining, but alas budget film makers have no sense of irony.
I dare say that the A-Team will be next.....be interesting to see how the computer generated graphics deals with root plants being fired out of a home made canon....

Coming soon to a bin near you!  Seriously though, why are all these good films/TV shows being shamelessly ripped off in the past few years? Is Hollywood out of ideas? The worst has to be the new Italian Job. It bears no relation to the original (It's not even in Italy!) besides the Mini badges on the three BMW Minis. So will the new Dukes of Hazard have a new, crappy, very slightly Charger like car in place of the General Lee (Viper RT10?) or are they not that bad yet? What's next, a new version of The Sweeney using an all American cast in New York driving around in Mondeos? A sad Gone in 60 Seconds style remake of Vanishing Point featuring some overdone chavmobiles with huge stereos, and Kawalski of course played by Vin Diesel? Shudder! ;D |

Jessica Simpson? Thats horrid little brat? Does she even have legs worthy of showing? I'm with you on that . there is NO way that DUMB BINT could ever pull off being daisy duke, she would never come across as anything other than a stupid, spoiled little rich brat!!!! The closest I can think of at this time of night would have to be Kelly Brook on looks alone, anybody else got a better idea? . sorry to rant but I grew up lusting over Daisy and those hot pants ;D ;D oh and the Charger was very nice as well  |

S'already in pre-production apparently.... Loads of rumours about who'll be who... like Will Smith as B.A, Jack Black as Murdoch and even Mel Gibson as Hannibal |

Apparently there may be a Knight Rider film on the way too with Hasslehoff being the driving force behind it. Is it legal to show that amount of chest wig these days tho?

Heard something about a film based on Street Hawk as well..........! Only AirWolf left then?  As for Daisy Duke - Kelly Brooke certainly has the pins for it! |

I heard that although Jessica Simpson is claiming to have been given the Daisy Duke role it is not the case, I heard Mandy Moore is also considered.

yeah kelly all the way I didnt think the gone in sixty second remake was that bad at all... The original was terrible as far as movie making is concerned, but i still like the original cuz of the 40minute car chase! It was still a B movie though. I think the Starsky and hutch idea worked ok, like you say tongue in cheak. Italian job shouldnt have been called italian job. If its entertaining, then ill watch it...thats is ALL that matters! |

I like Starsky And Hutch a lot.
The orginal Gone In 60 Secs isn't bad, car chase is very respectable, fashion in it isn't LOL! Remake I thought was disasterous.
Driver has to be one of the tidyest car chase films ever.

I still want to see the original 'Gone in 60 Seconds', and keep meaning to rent the DVD of 'Starsky and Hutch'.  Tricky decision though it is, with so many excellent films such as 'The Blues Brothers', 'Bullitt', 'The Driver', 'Ronin', and many others, for me the best car chase film has to be 'Vanishing Point', especially with that soundtrack, which I recently bought on vinyl  [Cue Cleavon Little, aka Super Soul] "There goes the Challenger, being chased by the blue blue meanies on wheels; the viscious traffic squad cars are after our lone hero, the demagogue, the super driver of the golden west! Yeah baby!" [/Cue Cleavon Little, aka Super Soul] ;D |

Saw Ronin the other day. Brilliant chases, all the better for being in Europe with European cars, makes it more realistic in some strange way, (I know it's not but...)
Also coool is the chase at the start of Subway as the husbands Merc chases Christopher Lamberts 205 GTi down into the subway.
