Warner Bros. Pictures has hired screenwriter John O'Brien (Cradle 2 the Grave) to do a rewrite on Dukes of Hazzard, based on the popular late-'70s/early-'80s CBS series.
The show centered on the adventures of Southern cousins Bo, Luke and Daisy Duke, who drove around in a Dodge Charger nicknamed the General Lee as they evaded the unscrupulous Boss Hogg and Sheriff Coltrane.
The studio hopes to shoot next year and is looking at the project as a tentpole. Ashton Kutcher and Paul Walker have expressed interest in starring as the fast-drivin' cousins, with Anthony Anderson as Hogg.
O'Brien is also one of the writers of Warners' upcoming '70s-themed Starsky & Hutch, and he did a rewrite on the studio's Catwoman, now in production.
