2005-05-02T09:40:00.000-07:00

the futon critic - the web's best primetime television resource: "Rising star Johnny Knoxville hosts the first of three all-new 'Saturday Night Live' episodes on May 7 (Live on NBC, 11:30 p.m. - 1:00 a.m.) with musical guest System of a Down making a rare television appearance.

Knoxville, who makes his first appearance on the show, rapidly gained fame as the creator and star of the controversial MTV series 'Jackass' which later became a blockbuster film. Knoxville has since transitioned to a wide variety of big-screen roles. This summer, Knoxville headlines a trio of films due out this year including this summer's skateboarding film 'Lords of Dogtown' with Heath Ledger and as 'Luke Duke' in the anticipated big screen adaptation of the TV classic 'The Dukes of Hazzard' with Seann William Scott and Jessica Simpson. Knoxville will also star in the Farrelly Brothers' comedy 'The Ringer' in which he poses as a contestant in the Special Olympics to rig the event. Knoxville's other credits include: the John Waters comedy 'A Dirty Shame,' 'Walking Tall' opposite The Rock and 'Men In Black 2.'"

Will Lachey duke it out with Knoxville?

2005-04-27T08:57:00.000-07:00

National Post: "While Jessica Simpson is down in Louisiana, looking fabulous in her Daisy Dukes while shooting The Dukes of Hazzard, there have been a lot of rumours about her and co-star Johnny Knoxville.

So I'm guessing it's not a coincidence that Mr. Jessica, Nick Lachey has decided he needs to spend some time in Baton Rouge, not far from the movie set. Also guessing that is Jeannette Walls of MSNBC, who first reported this item. She says, 'Lachey has been flying associates to Baton Rouge to work with him.'"

On-Set Interview - Johnny Knoxville for "The Dukes of Hazzard"

2005-04-22T10:24:00.000-07:00

On-Set Interview - Johnny Knoxville for "The Dukes of Hazzard": "After my experience in the backwoods of The Dukes of Hazzard set, and with two weeks left in shooting the unit publicist John Pasani (hope I spelled his last name right) took us to two more locations. The first location was Cooter's garage, which is an existing garage into 'Cooter's Rebel Repair.' So what we saw was the real deal none of this was built. The garage looked like any other that I've seen before back in NYC, especially if you live by SHEA STADIUM, that's like junkyard city. Cooter's garage had cars that were in repair most of the ones I saw were from the film, we were told that the final shoot would take place here.

After our visit at Cooter's garage, we took a long drive to the Duke's family farm. This was an actual farm and just like Cooter's garage nothing here was built. We took a ride (like the tram ride you take at Universal Studios) around the barns and houses, we were told that Wonder Woman herself Lynda Carter was in the film and that her character is Pauline. Shortly after our grand tour of the farm we were then taken to this old abandon car dealership that the studio was using as the production offices. Here we got to see Daisy Dukes white jeep and a slew of banged wrecked you name it General Lee's. After our quick little pit stop we went to the production offices and talk with Johnny Knoxville and Jessica Simpson.

An extract from the article reads:

Voiceover: 'The countdown has begun. To the movie event of the summer. And it can only be described with one word.' (On screen are numbers being counted down with black numbers with orange background. Like the Old General Lee font on the side of the car). On screen: Yee Hah Voice screaming: 'Yeeee Hahhh'.

FilmForce: On-Location Interview: Johnny Knoxville: "Just back from watching Seann William Scott in The General Lee power past a horde of wailing police cars, Internet journalists are sitting in the The Dukes of Hazzard production office. We set up some chairs in an empty conference room. Borrowed a few chairs from here and there. And in getting them together, one of the offices has a TV monitor showing repeated clips of The General Lee in action during a rally race. The angle is low and the cars are fast, lots of dust.

Johnny Knoxville arrives for the interview sparked by the purchase of a new magazine, Big Black Butt. He tosses it on the table, shaking his head in apparent disbelief that the magazine actually exists. Within its pages are some of the most audacious photos. In Knoxville's world, it just doesn't get any better than this.

Johnny ditches Lindsay

San Francisco Examiner: Columnists: "A source on the set of Lindsay Lohan's latest film, 'Just My Luck,' told the New York Daily News that Lohan isn't speaking to Johnny Knoxville, who is filming 'The Dukes of Hazzard' remake nearby, because he ditched her outside a New Orleans nightclub.

The JACKASS funnyman has developed a strong fascination with the 71-year-old STARDUST singer - who's playing UNCLE JESSE in the remake of the hit 1970s TV series - but he's also suspicious about Nelson's private activities when the cameras stop rolling.

In an interview on website PAGESIX.COM, he quips, 'Willie is the coolest guy on the planet. He's everything you want him to be and more.

'So far he hasn't been smoking any pot on the set, but I think he might be doing it in his trailer.'"

FilmForce: Hot Hazzard Images: "Some fresh pics from the set of Warner Bros.' forthcoming big-screen version of The Dukes of Hazzard have turned up over at MTV. Jessica Simpson is lookin' hot as expected in the role of Daisy Duke, while Seann William Scott and Johnny Knoxville are all country'ed out as Bo and Luke.
You can check out pics of the cast along with some shots of the film's notable rides: Daisy's Jeep, Boss Hogg's Caddy, and of course, The General Lee.
The Dukes of Hazzard, based on the hit television series that ran from 1979-85, is set in the present day. It follows the adventures of the titular 'good old boy' cousins who, with the help of their eye-catching cousin Daisy, and moonshine running Uncle Jesse (Willie Nelson), try and save the family farm from being destroyed by Hazzard County's corrupt commissioner Boss Hogg (Burt Reynolds). Their efforts constantly find the Duke Boys eluding authorities in The General Lee, their famed 1969 orange Dodge Charger that keeps them one step ahead of the dimwitted antics of the small southern town's Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane (M.C. Gainey)."

2004-12-16T10:23:00.000-08:00

MTV.com - Movies - News - On The 'Hazzard' Set With Jessica Simpson, Johnny Knoxville: "It seems getting someone on the set of 'The Dukes of Hazzard' movie to talk about the storyline is about as challenging as catching them darn Duke boys.

'If you want to talk about plot, talk to Jay,' Johnny Knoxville, dressed as his Luke Duke character and leaning on the General Lee, said last week, referring to director Jay Chandrasekhar ('Super Troopers,' 'Club Dread'). 'We don't know what the hell is going on.'

'We're just having a good time,' added Seann William Scott, who is portraying Luke's cousin Bo.

'Yeah, 'Punch this guy,' that's the kind of direction we get,' Knoxville said.

OK. So, Jay, what exactly is this movie about?"

A Dirty Shame, with Johnny Koxville, is truly shameless

2004-12-13T11:27:00.000-08:00

Winnipeg Sun: Spotlight - A Dirty Shame is truly shameless: "A man defecates into a woman's purse near the end of A Dirty Shame. This is heartening news to true fans of John Waters, most of whom feared the worst since Hairspray won a family-type following on Broadway. Lurid and offensive in all the best ways, A Dirty Shame marks a return to classic, Pink Flamingos-type Waters work. Described by the filmmaker as, 'A comedy based on what would happen if your mother or your aunt tuned into a ho in your own neighbourhood,' A Dirty Shame stars Tracey Ullman as uptight housewife Sylvia Stickles.
Sylvia gets hit in the head, an accident that transforms her into a sex addict. She is not alone -- her miraculous switch from prude to perv is celebrated by Ray Ray (Johnny Knoxville), a local tow-truck driver and leader of the head-injured sex fiends. "

'I'd never worked with kids who were mentally challenged before, and I didn't know what I was getting into, but it was literally the best thing that I've done,' Knoxville said recently. 'Each one of them is singularly brilliant in one area or many areas. They're so special and they call me all the time. I was really lucky to be able to do that. The Special Olympics endorsed the movie, and people perceive it one way, but it's actually a sweet movie. But we counterbalance it with, you know, rawness as well.' ..."

Playing Daisy Duke, the touchy Simpson is apparently miffed that pranksters Johnny Knoxville and Seann William Scott have had a pop at the popstrel's rear.
A source said: 'Johnny and Seann have been saying her butt looks big compared to the original Daisy. They know she's sensitive about it.'
Daisy Duke was originally played by the hot-pant wearing, long-legged gorgeousness of Catherine Bach. A woman renowned for her classically trained acting delivery, charity work and her stunningly pert posterior."

Knoxville fails to impress in comedy outing

IOL: Knoxville fails to impress in comedy outing: "Grand Theft Parson is the off-the-wall story of country music legend Gram Parsons (Gabriel Macht) who made a deal with his best friend and road manager Phil Kaufman (Johnny Knoxville) that if one of them died the other would cremate his body in the Joshua Tree National Park.

A couple of months later Parson went to meet his maker and Kaufman was left to carry out his friend's wishes.

Having failed in his first attempt to steal the body from the hospital, Kaufman rents a hearse decorated with '60s-style flowers and peace signs and manages to sneak in to LA airport unnoticed with the help of hippie Larry Oster-Berg (Michael Shannon).

They intercept the body as it's being transferred from one plane to another and they head off to Joshua Tree with the police and Parson's father not far behind."

Review of 'Walking Tall' DVD, with Johnny Knoxville

2004-10-05T10:24:00.000-07:00

nbc4i.com - Entertainment - Dr. DVD Reviews 'Punisher,' 'Walking Tall': "Sometimes you just need a brainless popcorn flick. Actually, they should staple a big bag of popcorn to this DVD. 'Can you smell what The Rock is cooking?' I sure can. One thing is for certain, if you liked 'The Rundown,' you'll probably like 'Walking Tall.'
The movie features a great supporting cast. Neal McDonough ('Medical Investigation') plays the main bad guy, Jay Hamilton. Neal is a good match for The Rock. He makes up in attitude what most don't have standing next to The Rock. Michael Bowen ('Kill Bill') plays not-so-nice Sheriff Stan Watkins. Bowen is excellent in making this very minor role seem very major. Johnny Knoxville ('Jackass') plays Vaughn's best friend, Ray Templeton. This is one of those breakout roles. You'll be seeing a lot more of Johnny Knoxville. The Rock is constantly being compared to Arnold. This movie certainly won't stop those comparisons. In fact, if those comparisons weren't made before, I think everybody would have made the connection here."

Kicking it with Johhny Knoxville

2004-09-29T08:42:00.000-07:00

Kicking it with Johhny Knoxville ... advocate.com: "Excerpted from The Advocate, October 12, 2004
"I cruised Johnny Knoxville for years," confesses John Waters. "Career-wise," he adds. All that cruising by the director and gay icon pays off in his latest film, A Dirty Shame, in which Knoxville plays auto mechanic and inspired "sex saint" Ray-Ray Perkins. Waters's professional stalking of his star began with Knoxville's rabble-rousing stupid-stunt show on MTV, Jackass. "I was a very big fan, because it was causing perfect trouble - it's when all young people love it and all their parents hate it. You can't ask for a better thing."
It's been a long road to Waters's Baltimore for Knoxville, who'd been making a living as a skateboarding-magazine writer before learning about concussions firsthand on MTV."

Review of 'A Dirty Shame', with Johnny Knoxville

2004-09-27T09:41:00.000-07:00

Dishing the inside dirt - Film - www.theage.com.au: "Unlike Ray-Ray Perkins, the sexual healing anti-hero played by MTV extreme daredevil Johnny Knoxville in John Waters' new comedy, A Dirty Shame, the director is no longer seeking fresh recruits.
In the 30 years since Waters' breakthrough, gross-out midnight movie classic, Pink Flamingos, most film-goers fall into two neat categories. They either run to partake in a new Waters film or carefully sidestep it like the canine byproduct produced in Flamingos' final frames."

Review of 'A Dirty Shame', with Johnny Knoxville

2004-09-23T09:42:00.000-07:00

Straight.com: Movie Reviews: "Directed by John Waters. Starring Tracey Ullman, Chris Isaak, Selma Blair, and Johnny Knoxville. Rated 18A.
John Waters has always walked a weird line between kitsch and transgression. At his best, he walks that line with the aplomb of a fire-eating ballerina; which is to say, you don't always know why you're watching him but you sure don't want to take your eyes away.
Not exactly the most deeply cinematic of filmmakers, Waters nonetheless has a distinctly personal style that has grown more refined over the years. Here, he takes the more mainstream impulses of Serial Mom and infuses them with the raunchy, gross-out spirit of his early work, with mostly hilarious (and occasionally bilious) results. "

John Waters talks about "A Dirty Shame", with Johnny Knoxville

2004-09-21T09:19:00.000-07:00

John Waters continues to push the envelope - The Greyhound - Arts & Society: "Waters describes his own film as a hypothetical demise of sexual inhibition.

'If everybody acted on every sexual thought they had everyday, with no breaks,' he said, 'it would be mayhem. It would be sexual anarchy.'

The film stars Tracey Ullman, Johnny Knoxville, Selma Blair and Chris Isaak, all of whom do a very good job filling their characters' shoes.

A Dirty Shame is being billed as 'America's first carnal concussion comedy,' and on the film's poster just above the title it reads, 'Threatening the very limits of common decency.' To anyone who is at all familiar with Waters' previous movies, it is known that he has been threatening those limits for quite a while now."

The film is due to begin production on 25 September."

Johnny Knoxville as Luke Duke?

2004-09-10T07:08:00.000-07:00

Empire - film reviews, movie news, movie trailers, celebrity interviews, film premieres, competitions, upcoming movies, DVDs, film news and more from the UK's No 1 film website: "It's news for anyone who has ever entered a car through the window. US magazine People is reporting that Warner Bros has finally cast the leads for the big screen outing of the Dukes of Hazzard - and the names they have are all-too plausible. Yes, it seems that the lucky guys will be... Johnny Knoxville and Seann William Scott.

Now it could be a whole heck of a lot worse - Paul Walker's name was mentioned at one point - and frankly this, if true, is mildly encouraging. Knoxville, after the sort of crazy stunts he regularly pulled on Jackass, should find sliding through a car window poses no problem at all as Luke Duke, and Scott is a lot funnier than Walker, for example - but he will have to dial back the more annoying aspects of his persona to play Bo Duke."

This feature stars Johnny Knoxville, Christina Applegate, Michael Shannon and Robert Forster. The second Parsons work is Gandulf Henning's Fallen Angel, Gram Parsons, a documentary that not only examines his music and impact, but includes comments and insight from family and friends. Emmylou Harris, Phil Kaufman, Chris Hillman, and Keith Richards are among those offering their perspectives."

Watch the trailer for 'Grand Theft Parsons' - NME.COM: "'GRAND THEFT PARSONS'

Gram Parsons was the cosmic hippy cowboy who hung out with the Stones, took acid with Keith Richards, invented alt.country, influenced practically everyone to pick up a guitar since 1968 from Ryan Adams to the Kings Of Leon and overdosed in a suitably rock'n'roll manner aged just 26.
And that's where the fun really started. This month, the mysterious kidnapping of Gram's dead body (of which more later) is immortalised in 'Grand Theft Parsons', a new film starring Jackass' Johnny Knoxville."
