Warner Bros. Pictures has cast Burt Reynolds and Willie Nelson in the big screen adaptation of the hit TV series The Dukes of Hazzard. Variety says Reynolds will play corrupt politician Boss Hogg and Nelson will star as Uncle Jesse.
Seann William Scott and Johnny Knoxville are playing Bo and Luke Duke, while Jessica Simpson is taking on the role of Daisy Duke.
The trade says the adaptation, directed by Jay Chandrasekhar ("Broken Lizards") will be set in the present day but the General Lee, the duo's 1969 Dodge Charger, is expected to be the same iconic orange car seen in the series.
