Former Dallas star Patrick Duffy has been talking about the proposed upcoming movie version of the series, in which John Travolta is set to star as JR Ewing. Duffy, who played Bobby Ewing in the 80's show doesn't seem to like a big screen version of the show.

"I think they'll discover that Dallas is better left how it was. I got a sneak of one of the scripts - I can't tell you how - but I read it and I was, like, 'Wow! That's crap!'

"I'm glad I've got no involvement in this one." He told the Sunday Mirror.

"I would hate to be John Travolta doing J.R. Ewing and then have the entire world compare him to Larry Hagman. There is just no comparison."

The new film, due to start filming soon, is directed by BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM helmer Gurinder Chadha.
