    Travolta, JLo Taking 'Dallas' Film Roles

    Gurinder Chadha will direct John Travolta and Jennifer Lopez in a big-screen version of the prime-time soap opera "Dallas."

    The British filmmaker, who directed 2002's "Bend it Like Beckham," said Friday she had signed a deal with 20th Century Fox. Travolta will star as the conniving Texas oil baron J.R. Ewing and Lopez will play his wife, Sue Ellen.

    Filming is set to begin in October, with the movie slated for a late 2007 release.

    "Dallas" aired from 1978 to 1991. In 1980, an estimated 83 million TV viewers tuned in to find out who shot J.R., played by Larry Hagman, who had been blasted within an inch of his life in the previous season's cliffhanger finale. (The shooter turned out to be Ewing's sister-in-law Kristin.)

    Chadha, who gave Jane Austen a Bollywood twist in "Bride & Prejudice," is also involved in adapting another TV hit, the '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."

    Just a HORRIBLE idea for a movie. What gives? Is Travolta trying to get back to making flops? :confused:

    Off topic, I remember the "who shot JR?" days. I was only 9 years old and I didn't watch the show, so I thought someone had shot JR Richard. True story.

    A movie about a soap operah from Yankee Texas, I hate the cryboys, mavs and I don't care for the rangers. And I care even less about this movie ever being made.

    It would be cool if all the actors were actually from Texas.

    Randy Quade could be J.R. and Dennis Quade could be Bobby.

    John Travolta as J.R. Blasphemy.

    I grew up loving the J.R. character. The guy did what he had to do to succeed and didn't take anything from anyone (except his mother, I suppose). Travolta as that character is laughable.

    They're not even going to film it in Texas, let alone let Texans be in it.
