New Pic: The Cast of 'Dallas' 2011

J.R. Ewing will be on the 'New' Dallas

Rumors were going around that the 'new' Dallas would be minus J.R. Ewing. But those were rumors Larry Hagman is on board.

Larry Hagman is a lock! TNT confirmed today that Larry Hagman will participate in the Dallas reboot that’s in the works at the cabler. Patrick Duffy and Linda Gray will also appear in the pilot that’s based on characters created by David Jacobs and executive produced by Cynthia Cidre (Cane).

The original Dallas aired from 1978 to 1991 and followed the Ewing family of Southfork. (Hagman played J.R. Ewing, Gray played his wife, and Duffy portrayed J.R.’s younger brother Bobby). The modern story will focus on the Ewing offspring – J.R. Ewing’s son, John Ross, and the adopted son of Bobby and Pam Ewing, Christopher – as they clash over the future of the family dynasty.

Sue Ellen is back too! I may watch this!

Now, if they can get Charlene Tilton back on the screen, I will be truly a 5 episode viewer.

New Series Reboot: Dallas

Well if Wonder Woman, Hawaii 5-0 and Charlie's Angels can get a reboot, why not... Dallas!
Yes, 'Dallas' is coming back on TNT and it will continue the story of the Ewing family.

TV Line.com reveals more:

TNT’s Dallas reboot has made its first official hire: Jordana Brewster has snagged a lead role in the high-profile pilot.


The project — written by Cynthia Cidre and Warner Horizon — centers on feuding cousins John Ross and Christopher, the offspring of brothers J.R. and Bobby Ewing, as they clash over the future of the Ewing dynasty. Brewster will play Elena, the gorgeous daughter of the ranch’s cook who is locked in a love triangle with Christopher and John.

Brewster joins Dallas alums Linda Gray and Patrick Duffy, who are set to reprise their roles from the original series as Sue Ellen and Bobby, respectively. After months of negotiations, fellow Dallas vet Larry Hagman, who played the Machiavellian J.R., has verbally committed to the project but has yet to sign a deal. Hagman had been holding out for money, prompting the studio and the network to come up with an alternative pilot script  in which Hagman’s J.R. is only represented through flashbacks from the original series.

Well what do you think? I think this proves that writers and Hollywood are getting lazy. But it could be good.

Diva Moment... Sue Ellen

Remember when we thought Sue Ellen shot J.R.?

What would happen if the Dallas theme belonged to Star Wars
