Variety is naming a pretty wide range of actors, from Mel Gibson to Tommy Lee Jones, but John Travolta is said to currently be in the lead. And, though her reps vehemently denied her involvement several months ago – even going as far to claim that if a casting rumor is printed anywhere except for "our
industry papers of record, Variety and the Hollywood Reporter", then it's probably not true – Catherine Zeta-Jones is atop the list of names for the role of Sue Ellen, which Jennifer Lopez and Demi Moore are also said to be up for. What about Bobby? Matthew McConaughey and Owen Wilson are said to be on the list to fill Patrick Duffy's boots. The producers are apparently dead set on casting a pop starlet in the
role of Lucy; Lindsay Lohan, Mandy Moore and Jessica Simpson are all on

Absolutely NO to Jennifer Lopez or Demi Moore in the new Dallas movie. Lopez all but ruins EVERY movie she's in (besides Selena) and Moore is no Sue Ellen!

How about Jock and Miss Ellie? I nominate Robert Wagner or Gene Hackman and Debbie Reynolds or Shirley MacLaine.

And Out of Site, she didn't ruin that one. Dallas? Why would you want to adapt the theme of night time Soaps (Desperate Housewives, L.A. Law, Falcon Crest)?

I vote for Jennifer Lopez to be Sue Ellen and for John Travolta to be J.R. Jessica Alba would be perfect for Bobby's wife.
