DirecTV Ad Here is the skinny on the annoying DirecTV ad featuring Jessica Simpson. It wasn't all smoke and mirrors and dubbing. "Jessica re-shot that scene on a soundstage at Universal Studios Hollywood back in October. The marketing folks at DirectTV and Deutsch Advertising painstakingly recreated the scene exactly as it was done in the film, filmed the new footage for the ad with the DirectTV messages and then edited it and matched it with scenes from the original Dukes of Hazzard movie."
