This Casting Just Might Work…
In the afternoon e-mail:
Extra spoke to John Travolta today and he confirmed that he is indeed set to play J.R. Ewing in the upcoming feature film, Dallas. He said, “Yes, I have to do two movies before that…then I’ll do Dallas. I heard Larry [Hagman] approved of me. We were in Primary Colors together…it was sweet giving his seal of approval.” On Jennifer Lopez playing Sue Ellen, Travolta commented, “Yes I did speak to her and she’s interested and I’m hoping they are closing her deal as well.”
Not convinced about Jennifer Lopez, although Sue Ellen was not the most demanding of parts. But Travolta I can definitely see as J.R. …
Then, of course, Ron Palillo HAS to play Cliff Barnes.

I would think that Jennifer Lopez might make a better Pamela than Sue Ellen, but that might also depend on who is in the running for Bobby. I just think Jennifer Lopez is too young for Sue Ellen.

If my math and the Internet Movie Database are correct, Jennifer Lopez is about the same age Linda Gray was when "Dallas" started. But John Travolta is older than Larry Hagman was when the series began.
