TNT have released a new trailer for the upcoming series of Dallas. We think it looks amazing.
Check it out below and let us know what you think.
Charlene Tilton and Steve Kanaly will once again reprise their roles of Lucy Ewing and Ray Krebbs in the new season of Dallas
The characters appear at a wedding in the pilot episode and return in the fourth episode for the annual Ewing Barbeque in an episode entitled The Last Hurrah.
According to TV Guide Ray has been living off the $50 million he got from selling his land to Carter McKay and Lucy has spent the last twenty or so years in Europe.
Is Gurinder Chadha hoping for a Dallas come back?
In a recent interview with the London newspaper ‘Metro’ Gurinder hinted the movie may well be resurrected.
So will she finally shoot JR after all? ‘It’s Hollywood, you know?’ Chadha shrugs before popping a cake confidently into her mouth. ‘Projects get resurrected and I like to think good scripts never say die. ‘ More power to her elbow, say I – though if I were JR, I’d be quaking in my cowboy boots.
Dallas the movie was announced several years ago as a remake of the original five part pilot from 1978, a drama based on the Enron scandal with JR Ewing at the helm played by John Travolta. Recently it was rumored to be a comedy take on the Ewing family.
So what happened to the Dallas movie?
“The studio did some research and they found out that if you were under 38 you didn’t know the show Dallas,” laughs Chadha. “So of course they worried about a younger audience not coming to see it, because people didn’t know the show. And of course that made me feel really old because I do remember it.”
Gurinder’s latest movie Angus, Thongs And Perfect Snogging is in UK cinemas from Friday, Jul 25
It ain’t Dallas
The on off, off and on again Dallas movie took a new twist this week when John Travolta revealed it is to be set in Saudi Arabia.
His role as J.R. Ewing in the big-screen Dallas is still a go, but director Betty Thomas has ordered some drastic changes from the ’80s CBS soap original. “They had a script, but it wasn’t quite Dallas yet,” conceded Travolta. “It was a fun script, but it was a different movie.” The new comedic take, he said, “is more of a spoof on the idea of Dallas. It takes place in present time in Saudi Arabia, with a minimal amount of other Ewings. I’m not sure how it will all unfold.”
Well John we can tell you how it will unfold, somewhat like toilet paper caught around the neck of an overexcited Andrex puppy. A big tangled mess with only one practical use.
A Dallas movie set in Saudi Arabia with a minimum number of characters cast in comical roles.
Can this movie still be called Dallas?
As a Dallas fan I could be considered rather subjective on the whole topic but lets face some facts. Of course none of us took Dallas seriously, we all knew it was high drama but unlike its ABC counterpart Dynasty, it never fell into the abyss of camp comedy.
For the first five or six seasons it was a riveting, and the whole, well written drama.It would be like a movie version of 24 with Goldie Hawn playing Jack Bauer, (sorry I don’t want to give Betty White any ideas for further remakes). The idea is nonsensical.
When news of the movie was initially announced it was met with excitement, David Jacobs was behind the new vision and wanted to revisit the concept which became the biggest show in television history.
Is this really the best they can come up with?
Are the audience that stupid that the only way they can put bums on seats is to dumb down the entire concept.
If John Travolta wants to play an 80’s TV icon in a camp, absurd, over the top comedy, I suggest he drags up once again and calls himself Joan.
