To my utter dismay I saw on cnn.com today that there is a "Dallas" movie in the works (don't know if you've commented on it before and I just missed it), with John Travolta in the running as J.R. and JLo being offered the part of Sue Ellen. I remember my mother used to watch the show. Is this REALLY something that needs a movie/remake...and what the heck is Travolta thinking? :shock: Dale You said it Vic.

That's the point Vic was trying to make -- if you have to do a remake, why remake something that was awesome the first time around? You're absolutely right about Hollywood being afraid to take risks, though. That's why remakes have been around for so long, and will be for the foreseeable future.

However I think what the problem is really is lack of investment and time in original ideas and allowing talent to pursue those original ideas. Hollywood has no balls anymore, they are playing the safe option for consistent revenue, not pushing the storytelling to get great films and find big returns. That's too risky.

If they threw the Oceans treatment at it. Huge, big star cast (as the original) and modernised it with style and bags of cash...you know, it might just work. Imagine the story updated like Three Kings with the cast of Oceans Eleven? Surely that's huge entertainment potential? Vic, I was musing about this and wondered if it might just work.
