i found this in a dukes e-mail news letter: However, Wopat is not part of the upcoming "Dukes of Hazzard" movie, starring Jessica Simpson as Daisy Duke, Burt Reynolds as Boss Hogg and Willie Nelson as Uncle Jesse. MTV star Johnny Knoxville has been cast as Wopat's old character, Luke Duke. Wopat is sure that Knoxville will do a good job with the character. "For whatever reason, they really didn't reach out to any of the original cast members," Wopat said. "I hope that they have as much fun as we did making it. It was always a show that kids could watch and adults could still get a little bit of kick out of. I hope that they keep that spirit as they make the film." Im surpised and dissapointed to hear that the original cast didn't get an oppertunity to make an appearance in this movie But Im glad to hear that Tom Wopat has a positive attitude twords the new cast as some fans are dissapointed. Oh yea it was qouted Cathrane Bach (original Daisy ) thinks of Jessica Simpson (new Daisy) as really sweet
