GOCANES Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 There is very little news here about the filming. apparently very hush hush... But........ There is a building leased to HAZZARD US Productions here in South Central Louisiana. Lots of work happening inside. No closed windows.. Can see it all right now. Local news did article on upcoming historical home tour and said one home was selected to be on the movie the Dukes of Hazzard. So therefore, it wouldn't be available for the tour. They wouldn't even give the location of the home. But , if you are from this area, you would know which house it is. Then rumor has it they are going to be taping north of here. Honestly, you would have to see the area. It will actually be perfect. Lots of creeks . Especially with the hilly areas.. The town they are suppose to be shooting is pretty close to the original series town. No Bar room though.... I am sure they will come up with something. I think the scenery and area will be perfect for the movie. Presently, I am stunned at the cast. I really think that they could have done a little better. Will post new updates as I see them first hand or hear of them. javascript:emoticon('8)') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddiemunster Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 No Bar Room? Do you mean there's not going to be a Boar's Nest? There has to be a Boar's Nest. That was part of the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Redneck Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 They have to find a place that will perfect to be the Boar's Nest...Who knows, maybe they got money in the budget to build a Boar's Nest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JABRO Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 I live right outside of Baton Rouge in Ascension Parish, La. Johnny Knoxville and Jessica Simpson have been spotted around Baton Rouge in the past week. I was told that the bar scenes would be filmed at Marchand's Restaurant in Gonzales (also in Ascension Parish). I think the scenes of their house are going to be filmed in Donaldsonville, La.

k_harvic_29 Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Okay, heres MY idea, and again, Ah thank it is a good one. Why not film the movie in Levington (Ah thank) Georgia? It is where they filmed the first several origanal ep ov the TV show. It already has the "Duke farm" (whi8ch WAS a real farm) and the road house they used as the "Boar's Nest". Plus, there are the "Roughneck Redneck" natives that lived in that area. It would make the movie feel more at home. *thinking* "If only they would leave the flag on the damned General." Anyway, that be what Ah thank. How `bout Y'all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Redneck Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Yeah it would be nice if they filmed in the original locations, Covington and Conyers GA. Not sure how much of the original settings are still in good shape to film....There is a website that pictures of the settings back then and of today, some didn't look too good...

k_harvic_29 Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 I see yer point, but doesn't Hollywood or WB or whoever have the money ta fix it. I mean come on, they want to build a whole new set of buildings so they will have what they need. That costs money. Would it not be cheeper to just restore the old locale then build a whole brand spankin new locale? That is my take anyhow, what be y'alls take?TRULY YOURS: Skye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneyDuke Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 =) Thank you to those who have posted on this thread and welcome to the new folks. Original Boar's Nest (Covington, GA) is now a church! Police station was remodeled into a bank/credit union several years ago. Duke farm turned out to be a Civil War cabin that could really use someone's TLC. It sits on a lot next to a $600,000 dollar home... so no it wouldn't be cheaper to use the origianal locations in some instances. Saw your posts about Confederate flag on the General, Skye... My understandin' at this moment, it will be there. But time will tell if that is correct, until then I choose to believe WB is gonna leave the flag alone.

k_harvic_29 Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Why thank ya there Danny, I do right appreceate the Info. And if they leave the flag alone, well I reacon I got riled fer nutin'. I just hate seein` the gov trying to politicaly correct everything. and as for the locale, reacon yer right. But Louisiana ain't really the best choice I think. Well, shoot, ya got swamps, bogg, crocadiles, mosqeetos, more fussy wether than there ever was in Georgia. And did I mention crocodile? My roommate says if the Dukes try ta go through the crik, or go through the swamps like they did in the series, the General will end up like the Titanic... sink and lost forever. Or at least just plain stuck. if not stuck or sank, they may become dinner. I sure think I mentioined crocodiles. Besides, ain't Louisiana a little big ta be "Hazzard Town Square"? I ain't never been ta Louisiana, but I have seen Marti Gras (SP) and other parts. so, please, by all means, correct me if I am wrong on anything.TRULY YOURS: Skye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batonrouge Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 I live in Baton Rouge, LA. I drove around the old dealership lot they are leasing for the production. It was Team Toyota on Florida Blvd in Baton Rouge. The entire lot is fenced with razor wire on top. There were about five General Lee's visible parked outside with only the orange basecoat. No "01" or flag yet. There were also several completely unpainted ones. There was a General Lee under a "garage area" apparently being sprayed - the "01" was visible - still can't confirm the flag.There were quite a number of cop cars parked in the way back - hard to see from the street. Some appeared to still have the white plastic that comes on new vehicles attached. There was one - probably 1970's or 1980's era - convertible - something big and square and rust colored. Possibly the Boss Hog car waiting to be re-done????Jessica Simpson did purchase a home in the University Club subdivision which is close to the LSU campus and is a gated golf-course community. I am still not sure why she didn't choose the more upscale and elite Baton Rouge Country Club area (the former subdivision of the now infamous Master P and now convicted Governor Edwin Edwards of LA and across from Jimmy Swaggert's home - yeah, we got all the good ones down here).The filming is to be done in and around Jackson, LA which is a very quaint picturesque area north of Baton Rouge.The old Team Toyota lot is full of semi trailers and there was activity everywhere on Saturday morning when I passed including the catering truck.

bscmlsu Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Here's the deal. They ARE filming in Clinton, LA - about 45 minutes north of Baton Rouge. My husband and I were driving through town today and they've hung a sign that says "Cooter's Repair Shop" on a local auto repair place. There was an article about it in the Baton Rouge Advocate www.2theadvocate.com...They must has stopped filiming for the Thanksgiving holiday...looked like they were moving campers and trailers out this morning. (They were parked near Siliman highschool). Last week I was at the Lamar Dixon Expo Center in Gonzales, LA for a trade show. 2 General Lee's were there and a police car. Johnny Knoxville was there and another woman, but she didn't look like Jessica Simpson. Looked like stunt drivers were giving them lessons on driving donuts and spin outs.

MingoMango Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Just a quick bit of info.....I work in downtown Baton Rouge, and they are not going to stop filming over the Thanksgiving Holiday. They have been filming down here all day today and they are supposed to go through Saturday. Right now they are on Laurel Street around Fourth. Jessica, Johnny, Shawn and about three of the General Lee...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMDUKES Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 I heard that the Boar's Nest was going to be Bear Creek in Montepeiler, because they are filming in Montepeiler, Amite, Clinton, Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Also, heard that a house in the Pride Port Hudson area was going to be the Duke home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
