Luke Wilson fans are likely to know about the “Dallas” movie based on the TV series that ran from 1978 to 1991. Luke Wilson is cast to play Bobby Ewing. JR Ewing will be played by John Travolta (yes!!!). Shirley MacLain will be Miss Ellie.
Jennifer Lopez was supposed to be Sue Ellen….hmmmmm, but she quit after issues related to the script and directing. It’s so hard to guess who had the issues, isn’t it? The movie was to be directed by Gurinder Chadha, but now it is said that Betty Thomas will take that role on (after Chadha pulled out of the movie). OH, last but not least. Remember the cute blond girl Lucy Ewing? You’ll never guess who’s supposed to play her. I kid you not: Paris Hilton.
This project seems a little wild (okay, frightening). But how FUN to watch Luke Wilson play the part of a super famous Texan!!! I really can’t quite picture Travolta as Jr, but hey, if someone had told me about Pulp Fiction, I would have had trouble picturing his role in that movie too. (Especially following the “Look Who’s Talking” movies…)
I’ll keep you posted on anything I hear about this project, no matter how frightening or juicy the details may be.
