Broken Lizard dude to do theatrical DUKES OF HAZZARD'

Hey folks, Harry here... personally I hope this is just NOT TRUE. You see, I like the Broken Lizard guys... but the word on the script for DUKES OF HAZZARD is ass... same with what Warner's plans for it. They're stripping the "Stars & Bars" from the General Lee for one... Two - Do we need to see a single new TV show given the wink and smile treatment? Especially if they're going the POLITICALLY CORRECT treatment? The main thing is... if you're going to make a moonshine film remake, you don't do this shit, you do THUNDERROAD... and you do it BADASS! You hope up 40's road monsters and the make them move like a bat out of hell! You give it a driving vintage pulse pounding score and you do a stellar remix of Robert Mitchum's Ballad of Thunderroad! DUKES OF HAZZARD was always bullshit... other than a hotass in hotpants from Daisy Duke... and that cool ass GENERAL LEE - there's not much there for the film. Personally - I want to just keep seeing Jay and crew working on original comedy material, not do weak shit like this!

Hey Harry, Santiago here.  

Over on the Broken Lizard website, Paul Soter let it slip that Jay Chandrakeshar (sp?) is set to direct the new Dukes of Hazzard movie. Thought you might be interested.
