Director Robert Luketic has offered Jennifer Lopez, John Travolta, Luke Wilson and Shirley MacLaine lead roles in the upcoming picture, according to Daily Variety.

While no deals are yet in place, all of the thesps are reportedly expected to sign on, meaning production on the long-gestating film could commence in October.

J.Lo, who previously worked with Luketic on Monster-in-Law, would play Sue Ellen Ewing, the alcoholic and adulterous wife of J.R. Ewing, who was originally played by Linda Gray in the primetime soap, which aired from 1978-91. If Lopez accepts the role, it work mark a return to studio fare after shooting a pair of back-to-back independent films.

Travolta has been offered the role of J.R., the oil baron played by Larry Hagman, whose shooting in the final episode of the 1979-80 season, "A House Divided," inspired the legendary pop culture slogan, "Who Shot J.R.?" The answer, revealed Nov. 21, 1980, in the episode "Who Done It?" generated one of the biggest television audiences in history, with 83 million viewers tuning in to learn that Sue Ellen's sister, Kristin, shot her brother-in-law in a fit of anger.

Casting the part of J.R. was reportedly the biggest challenge faced by the filmmakers, and Kevin Costner and Mel Gibson were other names in consideration for the role, according to Variety.

For you Dallas fans, who would you cast as the central characters?

I do not see J Lo as Sue Ellen, that's for sure. Maybe Angelina Jolie could do it.
