Breakfast at Tiffany's – Because I Do Not Know

Sue El-Lo Ewing?

A Puerto Rican girl from Da Bronx playing J.R. Ewing's wife? Maybe so ...

The big-screen remake of Dallas is hoping to strike oil with an all-star cast.
Director Robert Luketic has offered Jennifer Lopez, John Travolta, Luke Wilson and Shirley MacLaine lead roles in the upcoming picture, according to Daily Variety.

While no deals are yet in place, all of the thesps are reportedly expected to sign on, meaning production on the long-gestating film could commence in October.

J.Lo, who previously worked with Luketic on Monster-in-Law, would play Sue Ellen Ewing, the alcoholic and adulterous wife of J.R. Ewing, who was originally played by Linda Gray in the primetime soap, which aired from 1978-91.

Travolta as J.R., Luke Wilson as Bobby and Ms. MacLaine as Miss Ellie -- or so the casting rumors go. Many members of the TV cast are dead: Miss Ellie, Jock, Clayton, Jack Ewing, but wouldn't it be cool to have Larry Hagman play Jock in the movie. Even if he is nuts (he requires autograph seekers to sing him a song or recite poetry).

Somehow, I think Angelina Jolie would be a better Sue Ellen. She's got that slut part down pretty good. But I doubt Kelly Preston -- or the Scientology cult -- will let that happen.
