EDIT: The director in charge has me quite interested. I always thought he was the coolest member of the Broken Lizard team in the movies. Any chance that some of the other team members might make appearances?

I have to agree. Like many others I had little hopes or desires in this movie, but damn that is one well crafted and entertaining trailer. Hopefully the movie lives up to it.As for casting, I'm on board for most. JS looks great, but I would have preferred a brunette. Burt?
I got a giant grin on my face when they announced Willie Nelson as Uncle Jessie. Now that is inspired. I have my reservations about Roscoe and Enis from the trailer. Where was Cooter?

Not to say some haven't been good, but the only one that really stands out to me is the one in Way of the Gun, simply because it was an entirely different take(and quite effective). The car chases and more particularly the jumps is what I liked about the show the most as a kid, and it's excellent to see them in the trailer spiced up a little more, and still using a real car. Quite a few times in the show I could see that General didn't land so well, I'm sure they could have saved some bucks on smashed Chargers but looks like we're getting the real deal.

The only problem I have with the film (and it's not even that big a problem) is with some of the casting choices. I like Sean William Scott, but I think especially with the broken lizard involvement, they should've used that kid from the beginning of Super Troopers for Bo. I know he's not the best actor, but he's good enough and Jessica Simpson isn't much of an actress either (I don't think she fits the part for that matter)... otherwise, this should be fun.

Its a movie based on the freakin Dukes of Hazard, all Daisy was meant for was eye candy...and JS fits that well enough.

I have been looking forward to this since I found out Jay and the Broken Lizard crew were involved. Great trailer and it looks like this movie will be a lot of fun. As far as the car chases/stunts, I read where Jay hired Dan Bradley who was behind the car chases/stunts for The Bourne Supremacy. Can't wait 'til August!

I had like 0 desire to see the movie before I saw the trailer (never even seen an episode of the show), but I must say I am now curious. Not sure if I will venture to the theater to see it, but it has moved to a strong maybe now.

And for everyone raving about the car chases being cool b/c they are not CGI, what movie has CGI car chases? While CGI is out of hand & ruining film, I think at least car chases are still old fashioned & that is what they look like in the trailer. Tired old fashioned car chases.

I still fail to see what is so unique about this trailer or movie though.
