Scarlett Johansson is reportedly set to star in the new Dallas movie.
She is being tipped for the role of Lucy Ewing in the big screen version of the hit 80s soap opera.
It is believed Scarlett beat off stiff competition from Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie for the coveted role.

Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan and Katie Cassidy are among the actresses linked to the part.
Other stars believed to be appearing in the film include
Jennifer Lopez, John Travolta and Marcia Cross.
