[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 206830, member: 102"] A prequel demands every character be recast since even if the actors were still alive, they'd be far too old to play the ages they were in 1968, for example. That's the ideal time. Start earlier than that and you just see some (or all) of the Ewing sons as children, which has limited appeal. I chose 1968 because Bobby turned 18 in 1968. You can use flashbacks to show them as children if you want, but it doesn't limit you to only seeing them as children. So why not start over with a whole new reboot that is set in an earlier time? I don't think the audience would accept a reboot, and I'm not personally interested in a reboot. What would the motivation be to do a reboot unless you thought you could outdo the original? A prequel gives the audience new information on a story they're already interested in. A reboot doesn't give any new information on the story; it reinvents the story by starting over. Why would you start over when you've already got something as well liked as Dallas? [/QUOTE]
