FOR HAGMAN AND CO., `DALLAS' REUNION MUST GO ON.Byline: Marilyn Beck & Stacy Jenel Smith Larry Hagman, toiling away as dastardly das·tard·ly adj. Cowardly and malicious; base. das  tard·li·ness n. J.R. Ewing on the second ``Dallas'' telepic reunion, tells us that the story line has changed as filming has progressed. And that's just fine with him. Why? Says the irrepressible Larry, ``It was boring.'' The current TV movie, ``War of the Ewings,'' marks the first time Larry, Patrick Duffy Patrick G. Duffy (born March 17, 1949 in Townsend, Montana) is an American television actor, who appeared primarily in soap operas and television, who is of Irish descent. , Linda Gray Linda Ann Gray (born September 12, 1940 in Santa Monica, California) is an American actress, best known for her role as Larry Hagman's long-suffering wife, Sue Ellen Ewing on the television soap opera Dallas and their co-stars have worked on a ``Dallas'' drama without its creator and guiding light, Leonard Katzman, who passed away last year. ``We miss him terribly,'' Hagman says. But unlike some of his cast mates, he never doubted the team could carry on without Katzman. ``We're all very familiar with the story. And we all kicked in and contributed. Patrick, myself and (executive producer) Rich Heller have story conferences every day. It's kind of fun to work like this. As things develop, we see another line and decide to go with it.'' Hagman finished his role in the big-screen ``Primary Colors'' and starring stints in the November sweeps adaptation of ``The Third Twin'' before donning his J.R. cowboy hat. He sounds downright tickled about his ``Primary'' role - an ex-Florida governor whose chances at the Democratic presidential nomination are killed when the competition ``digs up some stuff he doesn't like very much. ... He slept with his male cocaine dealer. Just twice.'' The industry eye It's back to the drawing board for the drama based on the ``In Contempt'' autobiography of O.J. Simpson prosecutor Christopher Darden Christopher Allen Darden (born April 7, 1956) is an American lawyer and fifteen-year veteran of the LA County District Attorney's office. He was, along with Marcia Clark, a prosecuting attorney in the murder trial of O.J. Simpson. . Producer Steve Tisch, who paid $750,000 for film rights to ``In Contempt,'' received a completed screenplay for the project from Abby Mann in June. But now, Tisch says, ``No one was happy with the script. There's still a lot of work to do.'' Tisch, meanwhile, is waiting for the screenplay to be delivered for his Elvis Presley project based on the book ``Last Train to Memphis.'' At this point, he isn't hazarding a guess as to when the film will roll. Tisch, who was hoping to start production several months ago, does have Mike Newell (``Four Weddings and a Funeral'') signed to direct. He plans to cast an unknown in the lead role. The marry-go-round Former presidential adviser Dick Morris and his wife, Eileen McGann, who recently reconciled, showed up hand in hand at this week's Media Roundtable dinner at L.A.'s Campanile campanile (kămpənē`lē, Ital. kämpänē`lā), Italian form of bell tower, constructed chiefly during the Middle Ages. restaurant. Morris and his wife split after she learned he had a love child, and there were all those nasty tabloid headlines about his trysts with a $200-a-night hooker he let listen in on his phone call with the president. However, from their interaction at the dinner, one would never guess there had ever been trouble in paradise.
