Is She a Right Character?

17 March, 2006

The 1980's television series "Dallas." will be rerun in 20s century version. That's what I heard lately from entertainment news. We will see John Travolta as Texas oil tycoon J.R. Ewing and Jennifer Lopez as Sue Ellen. As you might remember Larry Hagman and Linda Gray played on the role of J.R. Ewing and Sue Ellen in original Dallas movie. I like this long-running tv series, although I didn't keep up all the series. I think this one is the best of any other serial movies in the past or even nowadays. I doubt JLo would play the right character of Sue Ellen. Why? Those who watch this serial movie must know exactly what characters Sue Ellen does have. The alcoholic and adulterous wife of JR Ewing is sweet, gently spoken, soft, and weak (delicate is the right word I guess). We all know JLo as a Puerto Rican descent has a strong character and never plays a weak character in any movie she has been involved. She doesn't speak soft or gently, and she doesn't even have a good English accent. You can tell she has Spanish accent from the way she speaks. My question is: Is she able to play Sue Ellen without disappointing the Dallas fans? Let's see..
