Dukes Sequel moves a long way from Hazzard

Sometimes
I come across these news items, and I have to blink several times, rub
my eyes, and/or slap my own face before I believe what I'm reading. So Jessica
Simpson is traipsing around telling people that a Dukes of Hazzard
sequel is not only in the works, but it's going to be set in, of all
places, London. Simpson shrilled to Sky News: "[The Dukes] would be
lost in London. I think Daisy and those crazy boys will have a great
time in the UK." At what point does something move from simply being a
bad idea, to becoming a public nuisance? I urge all Londoners to fight
the scourge of a Dukes of Hazzard II location shoot – haven't you been through enough?

London, England? London, Ohio seems more likely. Maybe Jessica got confused reading about the "royalty" payments to the estate of Robert Clark, producer of the television series. Considering that 17.5 million was added on to the final budget of the movie, making it a bit harder to recoup costs, I doubt Warner Brothers is in a rush to make a sequel.

Well, the way gas prices keep climbing here in the States, that's one less gag that they can use in the script...the Duke boys scratching their noggins at the high *petrol* prices in London when they try to fill up the ol' General. How about an unrated edition?

Does every movie deserve to be sequeled? Cecil B. DeMille must be rolling in his grave. This is like making a "Martians From Mars II". Hollywood needs some fresh ideas from brilliant minds and hopefully catch the attention of studio heads. I for one am totally sequeled-out. Come on Jessica, find a new project to show that luscious body to the public.
