I think it's a valid property. It's a shame if they don't use the songs. It's lots of fun to cast- But will they stick with the film's Sheriff or back to the stage's version of an older man who's had a long complicated relationship with Mona. Reba McEntyre has got to be top of the list for Miss Mona.
I hope that throw out I Will Always Love You.
I have never liked that song.
Well, they won't have to build the set! It's still there!
If they can get the Aggies nekkider, I'm in.

I would love to see Reba McEntire in this movie. She can do no wrong.
I hope it's like HBOs "Cathouse"!
I agree...Reba has got to be Miss Mona!
Aren't Cher & Aguilera already making this?
Bring back some of the cut songs, please! I would love to see 24 Hours of Lovin', No Lies, Bus From Amarillo and Doatsy Mae in the film. I could live without Girl You're a Woman and Good Old Girl.
I would love to see Alec Baldwin as the Governor and Molly Shannon as Doatsy Mae. Steve Martin could make an excellent Melvin P. Thorpe.

So help me god they cut Bus from Amarillo if Reba is cast.
I can't imagine they'd cast Reba, I agree she'd be great in the role but I don't think she's a big enough draw for a movie audience. I might be wrong but I think they might get a bankable star.
I figured Reese Witherspoon, Carrie Underwood (who's trying to make movies now), and Nicole Kidman are at the top of the list

A) I like the original film
B) Why does it need an update? Can't they leave it in its time period?
C) I pray that they restore the original songs
D) Reba is a big enough draw.
Even though he is not a film director, let Tommie Tune have a go at it. Under no circumstances let Rob Marshall within miles of it.

I think Reba is perfect casting- she's spectacularly well-known in the demographic that normally wouldn't race out to see a musical. She would put plenty of butts in the seats.

^ I think she's been offered it before, and turned it down. But yes, she would be brilliant.
