Jennifer Lopez has been offered the part of Sue Ellen Ewing, Luke Wilson is negotiating to play Bobby Ewing, John Travolta has an offer to star as J.R. Ewing and Shirley MacLaine is down for the part of Miss Ellie Ewing.

The only reason I'd see this is because Luke Wilson may be in it.
MattyT Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 How long will people continue to go see these disasters?

Buftex Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 I am waiting for a "Good Times" remake, with Dave Chapelle as JJ! I am amazed it hasn't been thought of yet...or maybe do a white version of "Good Times", since they are filming an all-black version of "Welcome Back Kotter", with Ice Cube playing Kotter....for the love of god.........DYNO-MITE!!!!
Fezmid Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 I heard on the radio today that Ice Cube is going to star in a remake of Welcome Back Cotter... I kid you not. http://groups.google.com/group/alt.gossip....f9f4df12483df6e CW

Oh well, at least I posted a link... CW

You mean to tell me Ice Cube was WORSE than Vin? Yikes!

Yikes! 629812[/snapback] haha, I know it's not a very popular stance, but I'm a Vin Diesel fan.....I think that he and the Transporter guy are my two favorite action stars right now. The Transporter guys is HUGE badass, but the guy is hardly in any flicks....really disappointing. As for Diesel, I thought Fast and the Furious was AWESOME. Definitely one of my guilty pleasure movies....total guy flick. But yeah, Ice Cube just sucks.....and the second XXX film was embarrassing.
