malchus Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Is this going to be a prequel to the film or are the trying to forget the film?If its a prequel we're going to have to look at the beat up General with the dull orange like in the begining of the movie.I do like the concept.

nova64000 Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 I think it looks good so far. A "prequel" was the only way that they could pretend that the 05 movie never existed. I looked up the director and he looks to have some experiance with TV shows and if you where hoping for somthing more along the lines of the show I think you will get your wish. I faith in this film.

dukesran1 Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 How is a direct-to-dvd prequel spote to help everyone forget the first movie? if they want everyone to forget why not put it in the movie house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divia Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 A prequel could be cool. Get some teeangers to do it. This would work great if they every wanted to make a tv show...I know no one but me wants to see this...but I do. A direct to DVD sounds bad though. The budget will be nothing Im guessing. If it was a movie with a decent budget then that would be even better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukefan Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 A prequel would be very cool and would explain how Bo and luke got caught and have a probation chain over their heads. But they never ran moonshine with the General Lee, they ran moonshine long before the General ever came to being. So don't use the orange charger in the prequel use uncle jessie 's "Black Tillie" or some other fast car. Always wanted them to do a movie where we see the life of the dukes while they ran moonshine and how they finally got caught and capt, this movie would kick the new dukes movie out into space. I bet a lot of action then, and toward the end of the movie, when the dukes are set free under conditions of their probation, they could introduce the making of the General Lee.

Brian Coltrane Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 While they're at it, they should bring back the Dukes cartoons. What the hell. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iloveschnieder Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 I don't trust them. They have burned me once already with a "Dukes" movie, where they just totally trashed the Dukes spirit. And if the article in the next topic http://www.hazzardnet.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3180 is true then I am really scared. The first movie took a good fun and wholesom show and destroyed it's spirit by focusing on drugs, sex, and profanity. I couldn't let my number one Dukes fan watch the first movie, and I am afraid that they are going to do the same thing again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
