Yet more Casting news! This movie is going to be Big!

'Dallas' Sexy Lucy: Lindsay Lohan Or Jessica Simpson?by Mitch MarconiMar 19, 2006




Word it out that Lindsay Lohan is currently the fave to play the role of sexy long-haired little blonde, Lucy Ewing Cooper, in a movie version of 'Dallas', according to published reports, and it looks like she has the full endorsement of original actress Charlene Tilton in her bid.
Charlene Tilton, 47, who made the role famous, is quoted as saying: "They are thinking of casting Lindsay Lohan as Lucy and I'm a fan of hers. I think it is a great choice."
But rumors are also running hot in favor of a Jessica Simpson casting, especially appealing because of her buxom body, long blonde hair, and Texas accent. Her native roots in Texas would make her more of a natural for the role, it would seem, but no decisions have been announced as finalized yet.
In what is already being touted as a blockbuster idea, a remake of the classic 80s soap about a rich oil family and their pecadillos, 'Dallas' could be a real coupe for everyone involved. Director Robert Zemeckis claims Hollywood's biggest stars are desperate to win roles in the remake of the show, which aired from 1978 to 1991.
