Are you sure it's not just for the different aspect ratios? One for widescreen and one for pan and scan? This was how he released the SEs on VHS. One box set was gold and one was silver.

Ah, you just had to see it coming. I've known about this for a while, but this is new casting news.

Quote
Dude, where's the General Lee?

Seann William Scott, who had a hard time mastering parking logistics in Dude, Where's My Car?, will share driving duties with Jackass Johnny Knoxville in the planned big-screen rendering of The Dukes of Hazzard, People magazine says.

A spokesman for Warner Bros., a corporate cousin of People in the Time Warner clan, could not confirm the reported hires. The film, still minus an announced director and cast, is nonetheless slated to speed into production in mid-November, the studio says.

According to People, Scott, 27, will play Bo Duke, aka the one with blond hair (actor John Schneider in the 1979-85 Dukes TV series); Knoxville, 33, will play Luke Duke, aka the one with brown hair (Tom Wopat in the TV show).

Jay Chandrasekhar of the Broken Lizard comedy troupe, makers of Super Troopers, et al., reportedly is in line to direct.

At this point, screenwriters Jonathan Davis and John O'Brien are the only official Dukes boys. O'Brien cowrote Warners' most recent TV-to-film transformation, Starsky & Hutch. Any resemblance between Dukes and S&H, which grossed $88 million at the box office last spring, likely will be encouraged.

Though Jessica Simpson was said to have nabbed the plum, if drafty role of shorty-shorts devotee Daisy Duke earlier this year, the part remains up for grabs.

Simpson is in the running, though. She told Access Hollywood that a recent audition "went amazing."

"I actually wore a short skirt, not shorts," the risk-taking singer-actress-famous person shared with the TV show.

Others whose names have been in the Daisy Duke mix: Jessica Biel, Elisha Cuthbert and Mandy Moore.

Britney Spears, a real-life shorty-shorts devotee, was the reputed frontrunner to succeed Catherine Bach (news) (TV's Daisy) when news of the movie first surfaced last year. But that was one marriage, one annulment, one engagement, two future step-children and one entirely different image ago.

Paul Walker, who raced cars in The Fast and the Furious, and Ashton Kutcher, Scott's Dude costar, were the original picks for Bo and Luke Duke, respectively--at least according to circa 2003 buzz dismissed by Warners.

In addition to Dude, Scott has goofed in the American Pie trilogy. Knoxville has appeared in Walking Tall and Men in Black II, among other films, after finding fame for doing unwise things on Jackass, his MTV stunt show.

No word on a storyline for the big-screen Dukes. Suffice to say the TV series rarely deviated from the following plot: Bo, Luke and their Dodge Charger, known as the General Lee, get chased all over Hazzard County by the lackeys of Boss Hogg (the late Sorrell Booke).

Burt Reynolds is the "top choice" to play big-screen Hogg, People says.

Presumably, the fender-bending production is after Reynolds for his expertise in car-chase movies (Smokey and the Bandit, et al.)--and not his MAACO connection.

I like this casting better than the Kutcher/Walker pairing. I'd like to see Cuthbert as Daisy (I'm sure Jimbo would, too). And I pray Reynolds is cast. That would be so Reynolds (vague Jason Lee reference).

I can agree in some instances. A grand entrance feel is great in scenes when a grand entrance is warranted. Say, for example, Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix - I think that was his character's name) returning to Rome to take his place as the new Caesar in Gladiator. That's epic. That's grandiose. It needs big showy camera pans and zoom outs so the audience can feel how "big" the scene is and how much "power" Commodus has to warrant this kind of celebration. But Luke and Obi Wan going to Mos Eisley was just supposed to be them slipping in, trying to be stealthy to avoid the Empire, and find some underhanded pilot willing to transport them illegally to Alderaan. I feel that warrants keeping the scene rather low key. But, again, that's just my opinion.

Not that deserted is better, but there is just too much focus on all the peripheral crap instead of what was important. That's grandstanding, showboating, whatever you want to call it. What made the original SW movies so good (and other scifi films like Gattaca) was a very understated reliance on the special effects. They were there to establish setting and maybe mood, but there was no reliance on them. Their use was very subtle. That's what made the original SW films so great. You knew it was there, but the story survived without the CGI pushing it along.

Damn! It didn't come through. I have 100 MB of storage, but, now I find out, they won't let me get messages over a couple MB each. Can I give you one more address to try? kapgar [at] aurora [dot] edu. It's my work address. It may hit a wall initially, but I should be able to approve it through our junk mail filter service. Otherwise, I guess I'm searching for the CD.

Gundark, is this particular song on any one of their CDs? May have to search for it if it's there. I don't want to buy the 40d/40n soundtrack since that's the only song I like, but if their studio releases are more of the same, it may be worthwhile.

That's all for now.

Don't forget "wins Oscars." Only time I've heard of a rough cut of a film winning Oscars. The Academy must've lowered its standards, eh?

But during the entire four hours I was at the Silent Movie Theater, I heard a lot about how these discs will please the fans – the fans this – the fans that. Yeah, they’re right, the fans are gonna dig what they’ve done here, but if they really give a shit about the fans, they’d release the original versions of these films as well. So telling me all about the fans means nothing, because they’re pissed as hell right now, and making like there haven’t been any changes made to these films is wrong.

I know this isn't Star Wars, but a few years back, I had ordered some music and movies for my brother from some e-tailer. Almost two months before Christmas. Didn't get anything from them until sometime in late January when I finally got confirmation that their store had closed down. Got my money back, but it took a while. Probably the reason why I never order from any site that isn't Amazon (or Amazon Marketplace - after I thoroughly research their seller ratings) or a Yahoo supported paysite. I'm picky and very critical of human nature.

I, too, need help finding a song from a soundtrack. However, I do know the song and band name. I just can't find it on pay music services and my only broadband connection is at work which has blocked out access to all gnutella clients. Anyone willing to find this on Limewire or the like in MP3 format, I would be greatly appreciative.

"Strange Disease" by Prozzak from the 40 Days and 40 Nights soundtrack. This is one of my guilty pleasure songs (it was used in the end credits of the film).

I have an e-mail inbox that is big enough to receive an MP3 file. [email address removed]

If you do send it, please put a note here in this thread so nobody else goes searching as well.

Let me know.

Thanks in advance.
