Apparently, the upcoming Fox drama, "Lone Star," won't be enough.

TNT has ordered a pilot for a modern remake of "Dallas," the soapy primetime drama about Texas oil, according to the Deadline Hollywood blog. That's exactly what the upcoming fall show, "Lone Star," pilot is about, just without J.R. Ewing.

From TNT's description:

Executive producer Cynthia Cidre, writer of the acclaimed film The Mambo Kings and creator/executive producer of the TV series Cane, has crafted an update of the long-running series about the Ewings of Southfork, whose betrayals, jealousies and passions have made them famous. The story focuses on the offspring of bitter rivals and brothers JR and Bobby Ewing, who clash over the future of the Ewing dynasty while the fate of Southfork itself weighs in the balance.
