Waldron/Scott/General Lee

Something I noticed in the new movie reminded me of something that I've heard Dukes creator Gy Waldron mention in an interview before. I have heard Waldron state that had the series continued past '85, there was a possibilty that they were going to have the Dukes talk to the General Lee and possibly have someone do a voice-over for the General Lee. Not only would fans just be able to see this car that in many ways was as much of a cast member as any of the actors, but they would be able to hear the car's perspective. When you think about it, the idea of actually being able to hear the General Lee's perspective is really no more ridiculous than anything we saw in the episodes "Robot P. Coltrane" and "Strange Visitor In Hazzard", but still, I feel that would have been a bad move. T

In the new movie, the way that Sean William Scott's "Bo" talks to the car almost like he's in a conversation with another individual, reminded of what Waldron mentioned in his interview. Bizarre.

I'm uncertain as to whether or not anyone has mentioned this, but the current issue of Entertainment Weekly features Knoxville, Scott, and the General Lee on the cover. The magazine also has a good interview/article with both guys, as well as a really nice photo of the "new" Dukes getting their car washed by a few a Hazzard's finest looking young ladies. There's also a brief story about the movie's Go-mobile General Lee. Surprisingly, EW gave the film a B+.
