Now there is word that PARIS HILTON and BEYONCE' is up for the role of Lucy Ewing. Also, Marcia Cross is up for the role of Pamela Barnes Ewing.

If this is true, they have lost one movie goer. There is no way in Heaven or on Earth that I will sit in a movie theater and watch singers, arrogant socialites and comedic performers make a mockery of one of the finest shows in American t.v. history.

Whoa. This cast BLOWS. I was so looking forward to this but these are all the wrong decisions. John Travolta has promise. Luke Wilson is an okay choice. Catherine Zeta Jones is fabulous so I couldnt care less what role she gets if she gets one.

BEYONCE as Lucy? PLEASE. The director must be on crack. Paris Hilton i could see. I DONT WANT her as Lucy but I could SEE it.

Ugh this is all just WRONG! I hope it bombs in the theater.

I wouldn't mind if they were landing big name actors to do these roles, but Paris Hilton?! Is this because she was so great in House Of Wax? This 'lady' can barely film a sex tape, and she was a lousy actress in that!

Jessica Simpson? Another singer who was in a hit remake of another t.v. show and now feels she should get the chance to be in this one. It is increasingly looking like this will be a comedy, and if that's the case, they can have it.

Betty White or Rue McClanahan would make a good Miss Ellie. They can do Southern accents and they can sass like the best of them.

No way in HELL could J.Lo be Sue Ellen. I can't imagine listening to her telling off J.R. in her Bronx accent. I can't look at her and see a Southern accent coming out of her mouth.

You guys really shouldn't get so worked up, lol. The movie was first announced something like two or three years ago and all these same names have been mentioned since then.

The only ones officially up for roles are the ones mentioned in Variety and I don't any any of them are that bad. Still, Jennifer Lopez should be Pamela, not Sue Ellen. Personally, I'd want Lisa Rinna for Sue Ellen. She has the acting chops and I think I would buy her as a beauty queen-turned alcoholic socialite and a Southerner.

    • I don't think that would be the reason tbh. Thinking about it, it's probably storyline related - I could see bio mom / dad eventually turning up (or maybe it's June as speculated) and wanting the children back. I could also see it being a part of the fall-out of Martin's secret being revealed now that he's backed down from a presidential campaign - his and Smitty's ability to be parents comes into question, which the bio parents use. They might've wanted the kids to be at a age where they could reliably speak for themselves what they prefer, but also have enough memories of their bio parent(s) not doing a good job. I'd also think that they might want to avoid having the image of this gay couple keeping a mother away from her small children, as it might skew the viewer to sympathise too much in one direction. 
    • Something self-defense is my guess, and I have a feeling maybe he was protecting someone close to him and the optics looked bad so Vernon/Anita covered it up (my guess maybe he was protecting Vernon/Anita).
    • If Reginald had had more dimensions he probably wouldn't have been killed off and Carl might not have been brought back to fill the international supervillain role. I think though that the Loves were also severely damaged by the way Nicole and Peter were made iredeemable and written out. I definitely feel that loss more than the loss of Reginald, primarily since they were good characters to begin with and were only ruined during this period.   
    • What if they were originally cast as Vanessa and Doug's twins and then were moved to Samantha/Tyrell when the show decided to delay introducing the twins? It's a shame they didn't stick with the original plan. BTW, does anybody have any new speculation on what Martin's secret will be? Brandon is hinting nobody is guessing it. Initially I thought it would be something where he was drunk and killed somebody or something like that but now I'm feeling like maybe it wasn't completely his fault. I don't get the vibe they're going to take him in a dark direction anymore.

    • I don't think some of Samantha's hairstyles have worked with the ponytails and bows making her look like an older adult wearing a 10-year-old hairstyle.    Bows work on Kat much better for Kat's age and personal style. We've known since the start that Eva was a hairstylist before she began working for Nicole.  I like that they brought that back, with Ted arranging for her to work at a high-end salon.  Yesterday's scene with Martin bringing Eva over for pizza with his family, and then Eva doing hairstyles for Samantha worked (for me). I did think that the new hairstyle that Eva created for Samantha was less "little girl" and somehow even though more mature, it made the actress Najah look less aged. Can't quite explain it, but she looks better now.
    • That backdoor pilot may have failed, yet one year later "Empty Nest" became a reality anyway, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.

      The show was completely revamped of course, but still....
    • Honestly, either 6-7 and 10-11 would've worked better. But maybe they wanted actors who wouldn't be held to child labour laws and needed them to be able to act, especially if they're (eventually?) going to go with their bio mama showing up (June??). 
    • I thought it interesting that in the Claybon/Manning youtube with Michael Fairman, Brandon Claybon said Samantha and Tyrell were initially supposed to be 6 and 7, but aged up for technical reasons, first aged up to 10 or 11, and then finally to 16 and 17.  (Not sure what "technical reasons" means but that's what he said.) Claybon didn't mention when this decision was made to change the ages of the children. No mention of when this happened during the process of casting/writing/preparation. Just speculating: I wonder if Najah Jackson and Jaden Lucas Miller were cast later than other recurring actors due to this change? - so maybe that's how they selected Ms. Jackson? 
    • Damn, there was a tiny pre-emption where I'm from and I missed the Kat/Nicole scene, according to recaps.
