For my money I think Danny DeVito would've been a better Boss Hogg as he's a similar body and character type. Of course he'd have to lose the NY accent and gain a Southern one, but can't you just see him spitting fire and getting apoplectic like Sorrel? :-)

While we're on the subject of remakes of old TV shows into movies, WTF is it with Hollywerid's obsession to radically change the format or flavor......I mean, look at Lost In Space, absolutely nothing like the TV show, what a mess. Their latest abortion is to redo the Honeymooners with an all black cast. Frankly that pretty much disgusts me, how would the black community like it if they remade Amos & Andy with white guys? Yeah, I'm a bull in a PC china shop, but no one can tell me in their heart of hearts they don't agree on some level with what I'm saying.
