They're looking to cast Anthony Anderson as Boss Hogg. I have never seen him in anything, so I can't comment on his acting skills, but a black Boss Hogg just doesn't work for me somehow.

Please they are going to screw up this movies majorly.

1) How can they drive the Genral Lee around with that flag? Im sure they will have it painted completly different. Problably purple.

2) For the life of me, I cant remember one black guy on that show. They will problably make the Shriff Chinese, the mayor black, the deputies hispanic...

I know, Anthony Anderson is funny. He's one of the sons in Me, Myself and Irene.

But Boss Hog is supposed to be a big fat OLD white cracker. Hollywood people are F**ing morons. They probably think it would be cool to have a black Hogg. This movie will be about as good as Scooby Doo.

Do you suppose they told Anthony Anderson that the character's full name is Jefferson Davis ("Boss") Hogg? Just wondering. ;-)

I thought about it and there is really only one black man that could do justice to the role of Boss Hogg... Al Sharpton!

I agree completely. This is supposed to be a movie based on the show. This is a southern redneck town.... having a black Boss Hogg is unrealistic and is a reach at best. They are going overboard in trying to get diversity into every aspect of everything.

In the original series, the Chickasaw County sheriff was a no-nonsense black guy that the duke boys made a point to steer clear of.
