I think Jody Hill's kinda brilliant. I love THE FOOT FIST WAY and I think OBSERVE AND REPORT is outstanding, with a truly mean streak that's still funny as hell. Hill and Danny McBride have crafted a truly unique American comedy series with EASTBOUND AND DOWN and this season, especially, went down some pretty odd and dark places for its comedy.
According to Hollywood Reporter, Jody Hill's next project is a little different - an action-adventure movie about two outlaws, set in the American South, made in the style, sources say, of a Sam Peckinpah shoot-em-up. Those sources also say that this could be a possible reboot for THE DUKES OF HAZZARD. I hope not. Although I'm sure if anyone can bring that series back with a movie it's Hill, I'd much rather see him do something original, even if it is influenced by Peckinpah and the movies of the 1970s. We know Hill can make movies (and TV shows) with teeth in them so hopefully he'll get to make the movie he wants, regardless of its pedigree.
