The British filmmaker revealed this morning that she signed a deal with 20th Century Fox to take charge of the much-anticipated project, which will start shooting in Florida in October.
Travolta will play oil tycoon J.R. Ewing in the movie, while Lopez will portray his long-suffering wife Sue Ellen. The roles were originally performed by Larry Hagman and Linda Gray.
Meanwhile, Chadha is also set to adapt another hit TV show into a big screen film--the Bride & Prejudice director is also planning to rework I Dream of Jeannie, which was another television project that starred Hagman.
