Oh good grief… someone tell me this is all just a bad joke. Apparently studio execs are set and ready to green light a Dukes of Hazzard 2. Yes, the crap just keeps on rolling. Yes, they managed to trick enough people into seeing the first one to make almost $75 million at this point… but the vast majority of people who saw it hated it. You think they’ll be back paying $10 to see another one? Not me.
What makes this extra special stupidity is the following 2 facts. 1) Jessica Simpson (who was just HORRIBLE in the first one) is apparently getting a big raise to do the second. And 2) Simpson says it’s going to take place in London. The good folks over at MovieHole give us this:
Jessica Simpson, who will apparently get quite a hefty fee to reprise her role as sexy DD, tells the site that the next one could be set in London. They would be “Lost in London”, says the buxom crooner. “I think Daisy and those crazy boys will have a great time here in the UK.”
Someone just shoot me. It’s almost as if some studios are having a “who can be the most retarded” contest. I think we just found the winner.
