Rumor has it that Johnny Knoxville is not aiming towards another Dukes of Hazzard movie. In fact, he’s more likely to play a “Jackass” again, in hot pursuit of the role that gave him stardom. Knoxville’s sentiments echo recent mutterings by Seann William Scott, who would just as soon leave Hazzard County behind.
It seems that money ain’t everything for the erstwhile stars of the big-screen Dukes of Hazzard movie. Critics took aim at the film for its artistic shortcomings. Some longtime fans treated the movie like an open wound, finding it just as painful. The sharp barbs have apparently struck the nerves of these cinema stars.Â
But wait! The “Unrated” version of the movie will soon be available on DVD. The worst may be yet to come. Could this be the reason the cast is trying to put as many miles as possible between themselves and the movie? If anybody didn’t like the theatre version, the Unrated DVD will put a pitchfork in your hands. It may be wise indeed for the modern-day Dukes to run like hell.Â
Warner Bros, however, is only counting fan votes by the wallet. If the movie DVD pulls ahead in sales, a sequel could be put on the fast track. If the sales run behind the pack, the General Lee could be parked for good.
Meanwhile, the jury is still out, and the sequel is on probation. Watch our Forums page for all the news, gossip and fan feuds!
