New Casting Rumors for Big Screen 'Dallas' Update
Last April, word spread that the production had stalled, and I think most of us thought this would be the last anyone would hear about the film. But, this August, Scott brought us the news that the film was not only back on track, but this time it would be made as a comedy with Betty Thomas at the helm. There was was no more talk of Jennifer Lopez and Luke Wilson, but John Travolta is supposedly still on board to play the big kahuna himself; J.R. Ewing.
If Blend's sources can be trusted, then the film has gone back to being a drama and the comedy script has been tossed -- yeesh, can't these people make up their minds? But I would be inclined to believe that the film will be a comedy after all since Thomas has signed on to direct. Dallas is expected to go into production this summer, that is if they can ever make up their minds about what movie they are going to make. Oh, and there's also a little strike that might happen too.

(Page 1)2. I said before that this is a wretched concept. However, at least the casting sounds better now that J Lo, Shirley MacClaine, and Luke Wilson are not in the running. James Brolin and Diane Ladd sound like they could lend some credibility to the -ahem- questionable idea. John Travolta could at least have some fun as J.R. If this MUST be done (as a comedy, no less!), Betty Thomas is a good choice for director. Woody Harrelson would be a suitable candidate for Ray Krebbs.
