Members SFK Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 His teeth are either veneered or just bleached, they may naturally be that Chiclety. It's probably just the angle, but doesn't it look like somebody took their thumb and forefinger and cinched his nose a bit? I think he should have played Jordana's character's ambitious brother and been sort of a Cliff Barnes-ish character that way. <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/sflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" width="480" height="316" id="embed" align="middle" > <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/> <param name="movie" value="http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/player/embed.swf"/>'>http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/player/embed.swf"/> <param name="flashVars" value="mediaKey=1409053450&image=http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/2008-02/08/020808_{1409053450}_1409053450_still.jpg&origin=embed"/>'>http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/2008-02/08/020808_{1409053450}_1409053450_still.jpg&origin=embed"/> <param name="quality" value="high"/> Jesse, you took the words right outta our mouths. <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff"/> <embed src="http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/player/embed.swf" flashVars="mediaKey=1409053450&image=http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/2008-02/08/020808_{1409053450}_1409053450_still.jpg&origin=embed" width="480" height="316" name="embed" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed> </object> Jesse, you took the words right outta our mouths.

Members DRW50 Posted February 17, 2011 Members Share Posted February 17, 2011 Some audition reels. It's nice to know that even if the show has little to do with the best of Dallas, they are going to have a homage to some of the worst of Knots Landing (TIDAL ENERGY!!): http://popconfidential.zap2it.com/2011/02/17/spoiler-alert-do-these-auditions-reveal-the-plot-to-tnts-dallas-pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted March 6, 2011 Members Share Posted March 6, 2011 Seriously why not get Omri Katz and the original Christopher to play the roles again. This new Dallas is going to flop if they dont recast the roles before the first episode.....if they get the green light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted March 17, 2011 Members Share Posted March 17, 2011 There are major revisions to the pilot script, setting production back to end of April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted March 17, 2011 Members Share Posted March 17, 2011 I wonder if those revisions are getting it even further away from the origins of Dallas. I know the original script included Pamela Rebecca and also Cliff who explained the Barnes/Ewing fued to Christopher and his daughter. They rewrote it so Rebecca was a new character. That revision also removed the Barnes from the story and re-wrote history (not sure how exactly) to minimize the role the Barnes (and the fued) played on the original series. Also they wrote a backstory for Elena which meant she would've been living at Southfork when the original series aired. Obviously thats me "nit picking" as a fan, but I do wonder if they'll go back and make it closer to the roots. Chances are it'll stray even further. This isn't looking too good.

Members DRW50 Posted March 17, 2011 Members Share Posted March 17, 2011 I see less and less reason why this needs to be remade. What you have amounts to a total revamp by mediocre/poor producers, with a handful of original actors doing glorified cameos, and the new cast being so incredibly bad and forgettable that they would probably make the Melrose Place revamp look like the RSC.

Members Chris B Posted March 17, 2011 Members Share Posted March 17, 2011 I honestly think Falcon Crest in the hands of a brilliant nutcase would be the show to be remake. Or Knots Landing only because it's premise is so easy to adapt. But Falcon Crest would be the perfect show to remake since it never really lived up to it's potential and it's premise is something that would fit on modern tv. I would do a combination of the more gothic early seasons and that hard edge of the final season. Dallas was too epic it seems. You don't see them giving MASH a sequel.

Members DRW50 Posted March 17, 2011 Members Share Posted March 17, 2011 Dallas was also very played out. They ran out of material years before the show went off the air. It relied on exhausted characters. The only reason the show is coming back is nostalgia, and they can't even do that right. Knots Landing would have been the show I would have chosen to revive, especially since a blend of melodrama and economic hard times might have appealed to an audience.

Members Chris B Posted March 17, 2011 Members Share Posted March 17, 2011 I think it would be really interesting to recreate the ultra middle class early years of Knots for cable. Because the show reinvented itself so successfully so many times, I know opinions are mixed on those early years but I found them to be such exciting years. Right now I purchased the entire series which I'll finally be re-watching after five years and I'm going to start from the beginning even though the first 3 years I've watched in recent years. I'd love to see a modern take on Richard, Laura and Abby in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted March 17, 2011 Members Share Posted March 17, 2011 THey'd never remake Falcon Crest or Knots Landing because those names are nowhere big enough or "exciting" enough to deflect attention from the actual show itself. They'd actually have to...idk...write stuff? And then early KL might be too boring for today TV's industry...to make things "more interesting" (because when they remake, they always have to talk about how much the original sucks), you might get drug-lord Laura, hooker Ginger, wife-beater Gary, and Sid collecting inappropriate pictures of his daughter.
