I liked and admired Observe and Report.  But after mixed reviews, box office failure, and the date-rape controversy, I worried that might it be awhile before director Jody Hill could get another feature together.  But Warner Bros., the studio home of Observe and Report, wasn’t scared off.  Hill is in the process of writing an untitled action project for WB set in the American South of the 1970s, said to be inspired by the style of Sam Peckinpah (The Wild Bunch).  Now, that’s no automatic greenlight, but the project may receive an unexpected boost in marketability.  Heat Vision says this could become a reboot of The Dukes of Hazzard.  To be clear, it’s not yet, and the filmmakers won’t decide until Hill finishes the script.  But hey, why not?  More after the jump.
