ETonline.com Movies: The Simpson Sisters' Hollywood Takeover?
June 23, 2005
The scorching-hot SIMPSON sisters are ready to rule the silver screen this summer -- as both JESSICA and ASHLEE are making their movie debuts in lead roles in the very same month -- August.
Jessica, as most of the universe knows, will be running around in skimpy cutoffs in the 'Dukes of Hazzard,' out August 5, while Ashlee is a bit more covered up in 'Undiscovered,' out August 26.
"It's cool because Jessica and I are doing our first big roles at the exact same time," Ashlee explained. "We call each other and make sure everything is going cool on the set and everything."
"I'm kind of grungy and she's Daisy Duke," Ashlee admits. "I don't know if I would've been a good Daisy Duke. Not yet. I think Jessica's probably the best Daisy Duke out there."
The light-hearted 'Undiscovered' takes place in the world of up-and-coming artists looking to break into the big time in Los Angeles. Ashlee plays an aspiring actress and tomboy who's dabbling with a singing career.
This isn't the first time Ashlee's been in front of the camera. She previously appeared on "7th Heaven," the ROB SCHNEIDER comedy 'The Hot Chick' and, of course, her own show on MTV, "The Ashlee Simpson Show."
"There's not much romance for me in the movie," she reports, adding, "Not much romance for me at all in my life right now."
Meanwhile, Jessica, who insists she has plenty of romance in her life with husband NICK LACHEY, joins 'American Pie' pal SEANN WILLIAM SCOTT and JOHNNY KNOXVILLE, who star as country cousins Bo and Luke Duke in 'The Dukes of Hazzard.'
Chock-full of car chases and plenty of good humor, the new 'Dukes' finds the good 'ol boys trying to save their family farm from the scheming Boss Hogg, played by BURT REYNOLDS.
