[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 223013, member: 102"] I was thinking about the ida of the writers exploring the back story more. It would have been so interesting to see how much JR's attitude towards other people changed between the time he graduated from college and when the series began. Bobby too. Seeing him change from his years as a football player to becoming a playboy to working for Ewing Oil would have been tremendous. With the current technology available now, is it possible that they could use digital effects to have the characters as they appeared when they were young, or at least as they appeared in the first year of Dallas to appear in new episodes? I know a lot has been done with holographs of people. It's now possible to present a concert of some legendary, long gone singer, by using a holograph image. If they can already do that, how much harder would it be to have perfect digital recreations of actors like Jim Davis and Larry Hagman, or Patrick Duffy when he was young, and put them in an episode that would tell the story at the start of this thread? I'm no script writer, but if they took the general concept I described and made a two hour Dallas movie of it, I think people would love to see it. The technology may not quite be there yet, but I don't think it's going to to be too long before someone makes a new movie starring actors who are long gone, by projecting holograph images or some other digital effect that would make it look like those actors are right there. It would almost be like a time machine. [/QUOTE]
