HazzardNet has been hearing rumors about a possible new Dukes series for the past three years. While rumors abound and facts are hard to find, a couple of locals in Florida have spotted General Lees and filming crews in recent weeks.
We don’t know if this activity is connected to a Warner Bros. project or not. For all we know, it’s an elaborate tv commercial. Or maybe it’s something that John is up to. Or maybe it’s just filming for a one-minute segment on CMT.
To tell ya the honest truth, we just don’t know. Still, we thought the reports were worth sharing so ya’ll could speculate along with us. Here’s eyewitness accounts by fans by the name of Moriah and Tammy, as shown in quotes below:
“This is just speculation on my part, but on my way in to my real job today, I saw a film crew off to the side of the road by the everglades on Highway 27 in South Florida, just south of 1-75, and I saw what looked like the iconic General Lee along with lights and cameras. Keep an eye out, Hazzard fans…”
“This has yet to be totally confirmed, but I have spotted film crews around South Florida and among their sets have seen several General Lees.
“I’m not saying with any authority that they are making a new show or movie or commercial or something, but, it’s pretty obvious that’s what they’re doing. My friends and I drove into one of the spots where they were doing some filming, and after being told it was a closed set, we asked if they needed extras. After a few hopeful moments where we were led to believe they were going to use us, they came back with a ‘No, we have all the extras we need, we needed them an hour ago’. Oh well!”
“I saw the General Lee on my way to Orlando a month ago. We were using US 27 as well but near okeechobee and there were film crews and ramps and two cars. One with the numbers and one without, maybe a stunt or something! TOO COOL!”
There ya have it! Whatever it is. Stay tuned for more ignorance on our part – or facts when we get them!
