Dallas: The Movie

[Frustrator]

Well, this just in: The latest casting rumours for the big screen remake of the classic tv-series. The following have been rumoured to appear in the film, although nothing has been confirmed yet.

John Travolta as J.R. Ewing, Brad Pitt as Ray Krebbs, Jennifer Lopes as Sue Ellen Ewing, Luke Wilson as Bobby Ewing and Shirley MacLaine as Miss Ellie Ewing.

Keep in mind: None has been confirmed yet, but are your opinions on these castings? MacLaina will probably do well as Miss Ellie, and Travolta as J.R.... sure, why the heck not?

I can't believe i am saying this, but I think that Jessica Simpson would make a great Lucy Ewing. She can do the southern accent, and she's already got the blonde hair

I've heard rumours of Victoria Beckham as Sue Ellen :laughin:

I heard something about this the other day. It'll be cool to see a movie rendition of the show. Should be interesting if it all goes through.

Just found this on Yahoo!

British director Gurinder Chadha announced Friday that she would direct John Travolta and Jennifer Lopez in a big-screen version of 80s TV show "Dallas."

The "Bend it Like Beckham" director said she had signed a deal with 20th Century Fox to direct the film, which will star Travolta as villainous oil magnate J.R. Ewing and Lopez as his wife Sue Ellen.

In a statement, Chadha said her appointment meant that the sort of South Asian-themed British films that made her name had "huge credibility and respect in Hollywood."

Chadha, who gave Jane Austen a Bollywood twist in last year's "Bride and Prejudice," is also involved with adapting another TV hit, 60s sitcom "I Dream of Jeannie." She said that film "is still in the pipeline, but there is still some way to go on the script."

Filming on "Dallas" is due to start in October, with the movie slated for a late 2007 release.
