Jessica SimpsonMost of the cast has been set for the big screen version of Dallas but apparently Lindsay Lohan and Jessica Simpson are both keen to bag the one of the last key roles - Lucy Ewing, JR’s niece.

Riding the nostalgia wave, the film is sure to be a huge hit and no one wants to miss out: “There are people scratching each other’s eyes out [for roles],” director Robert Luketic has said.

Texan girl Jessica might have the edge over New Yorker Lindsay on the accent but Lindsay’s got a big supporter - Charlene Tilton who played Lucy in the television series.

“They are thinking of casting Lindsay Lohan as Lucy and I’m a fan of hers. I think it is a great choice,” she commented recently.
