John
Travolta's
wife
is
set
to
play
his
onscreen
spouse
in
the
new
'Dallas'
movie.
The
actor,
who
is
playing
oil
tycoon
JR
Ewing
in
the
big
screen
version
of
the
hit
80s
TV
show,
has
approached
bosses
about
his
wife
Kelly
Preston
taking
the
role
of
Sue
Ellen.
A
source
told
Britain's
Daily
Express
newspaper:
"John
has
made
it
clear
that
he
thinks
Kelly
would
be
perfect
for
the
role
of
Sue
Ellen
and
it's
now
thought
that
she
will
end
up
with
the
part.
It
would
certainly
make
interesting
viewing
as
their
real-life
marriage
obviously
couldn't
be
anymore
different
then
the
feuding
of
JR
and
his
wife."
Travolta and Preston, who are both devout Scientologists, married in 1991 and have two children, son Jett and daughter Ella Blue. Jennifer Lopez was set to play Sue Ellen but pulled out of the project amid rumours she was unhappy with the script and didn't want to work with Travolta. Other stars linked to the project include Owen Wilson, who is believed to be playing Bobby Ewing, and 'Click' actress Katie Cassidy, who is rumoured to have landed the part of Lucy Ewing.
