Scarlett Johansson is the new name being linked to play the role of Lucy Ewing in the yet-to-be filmed Dallas movie.
Scarlett Johansson is reportedly set to star in the new Dallas movie. The actress is being tipped for the role of Lucy Ewing in the big screen version of the hit 80s soap opera. It is believed Scarlett beat off stiff competition from Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie for the coveted role.
Stiff competition from Paris and Nicole?
The role of Lucy Ewing - famously nicknamed the “Poison Dwarf” - was originally played by Charlene Tilton in the TV series. A host of young Hollywood stars, apart from Paris and Nicole, have been linked to the role since the movie - which follows the lives of mega-rich oil barons and their families - was announced.
Other actresses linked to the role include Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, and Katie Cassidy.
If word on the street is correct John Travolta, Jennifer Lopez and Marcia Cross of Desperate Housewives will also star in the film.
