J.Lo Ditches "Dallas"
Debbie may do Dallas, but Jennifer Lopez won't.
The Enough star has pulled out of the now slightly less star-studded big screen remake of the '80s TV hit, with nary an explanation regarding her departure.
"She is out of Dallas," Lopez's publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnick, said Thursday, denying reports that her client's exit was abrupt but declining to shed light on her decision to cut and run.
No potential replacements have been named.
Marc Anthony's better half was set to star as the adulterous and alcoholic Sue Ellen Ewing in the film adaptation opposite would-be celluloid hubby John Travolta, who is set to play the oil tycoon J.R. Ewing, filling the shoes of original TV star Larry Hagman.
Lopez's exit is not the remake's first big-name drop out.
Legally Blonde's Robert Luketic, who more recently directed Lopez in Monster-in-Law, was originally slated to direct the film before dropping out this spring, citing "creative differences," amid reports that he was unhappy with the direction of casting.
Which, incidentally, was mostly done by him.
In March, Variety reported that Luketic had extended offers to Lopez, Travolta, Luke Wilson and Shirley MacLaine to play the lead roles.
As it stands, all but Lopez are still on board with the long-gestating project, with Wilson tapped to play Patrick Duffy's original role of Bobby Ewing and MacLaine filling Barbara Bel Geddes' role as matriarch Miss Ellie Ewing.
Dallas, which ran from 1978 to 1991, chronicled the lives and loves of the Ewing family, and prompted the pop culture commanding inquiry, "Who Shot J.R.?" (For the record, it was his sister-in-law, Kristin, in a fit of anger.)
Bend It Like Beckham's Gurinder Chadha has been hired as Luketic's replacement, and, barring any more casting couch bust-ups, production on the 20th Century Fox film could kick off as early as October.
