The Dukes of Hazzard: The Early Years

IGN FilmForce & Production Weekly report that, sigh, there’s going to be a direct-to-video prequel to "The Dukes of Hazzard." If visions of that really awful "Dumb & Dumberer" prequel just popped into your head, trust me, you’re not alone.

From IGNFF: "The Dukes prequel will reportedly "follow Bo and Luke Duke as teenagers during their first wild weeks in Hazzard County. While Boss Hogg outlaws moonshine in an attempt to establish his own monopoly, the boys get into a heap o’ trouble making deliveries of the now-illegal liquor for Uncle Jesse in an effort to save his farm from foreclosure, and we learn the origins of the General Lee and Daisy Duke’s daisy dukes."

No casting news just yet, but the director has been named: Bob Berlinger, TV veteran who’s helmed everything from "The Golden Girls" to "Arrested Development."

Yeee-haaaa!
