Jessica Biel Emerges As Favorite for Daisy Duke Role
27 February 2004
Britney Spears' hopes of playing Daisy Duke in the movie version of classic TV series Dukes Of Hazzard have been seriously jeopardized - by fellow pop beauty Jessica Simpson. The sexy character, originally played by Catherine Bach, aroused the attention of hordes of fans with eye-catching hot pants and stomach-baring tied shirts. And now Simpson has emerged as the clear frontrunner in the race for the role, after meeting with bosses at film studio Warner Bros. a few weeks ago. Producer Bill Gerber, who describes Simpson as "delightful", coos, "She's young, moral, bright, gorgeous and southern - everything that Daisy is." But the deal has yet to be sealed - Spears, Mandy Moore and Jessica Biel are also being mentioned for the part. Ashton Kutcher and Paul Walker are current favorites to play Bo and Luke Duke, but no moves will be made until a director comes on board, which is expected to be in a matter of weeks.
