Jody Hill Directing Dukes Of Hazzard Reboot

The Eastbound & Down co-creator will write it too

It appears Warner wants to breath new life into the Dukes Of Hazzard, although at the moment they're not entirely sure whether to reboot it or not. THR reports that Eastbound & Down co-creator Jody Hill, who also directed Observe & Report, is attached to write & direct what is currently being described as 'untitled action project set in the American South for Warner Bros.'

It could well turn into a Dukes Of Hazzard movie, but Warner is waiting until the script is ready before they decide whether to tie it into the franchise, so there's a chance it could just be an unrelated film about an outlaw duo, set in the 1970s. The original Dukes Of Hazzard ran on TV from 1979-1985 and followed an adventure-loving pair of cousins in Georgia who drove a Dodge Charger nicknamed the General Lee.

Bill Gerber will produce, which should make things easier if it does become a Hazzard movie, as he produced the 2005 big-screen version that starred Seann William Scott and Johnny Knoxville. There's no info on when the film might shoot or who could star.
