John Travolta Booted From "Dallas" Film

John Travolta has been dropped from the "Dallas" movie after being promoted as the project's anchor for more than two years.

Too bad. Travolta would have been the PARAMOUNT JR. Stiller will never fly in that part, and no matter who they try to replace Travolta with, "there goes the Dallas neighborhood" as far as I'm concerned.

The producers should have gotten 'unknown' actors for all the roles. You cannot take any well known actor and put them in roles made famous by other actors. It just doesn't work.
