God bless her, she's coming back!

Our dreams have officially become reality! Thank goodness!

When it was recently announced that '80s soap Dynasty was being adapted into a feature film, we naturally wanted to know if the original baddest bitch and series star, Joan Collins, would be in any way involved, and thankfully, the diva coyly revealed that she is!

She explained:

"That's what I hear. It could be. But I'm not allowed [to say] - I'm not allowed, I'm not allowed. My lips are sealed. My lips are sealed with a Dynasty doll. Well, I wouldn't be talking about it if I wasn't. But I mean, if it's going to come back, it will come back in a different form, you know, like an amoeba. It wouldn't necessarily come back as it left off. I don't know."

Glorious!

We feel better knowing that with her involvement, at least a portion of this film will be done RIGHT!

We anticipate GREATNESS!

What do U think?? Are U excited for Alexis' return??

Ah! She speaks!

We've been anxiously awaiting what she has to say about this ever since it was announced!

Now that the creators of Dynasty have announced that a big-screen remake is in the works, the iconic Joan Collins - who portrayed the true baddest bitch to ever walk the Earth in a padded shoulder dress, Alexis Carrington - is speaking out about the project, and she has some pretty FANTASTIC opinions as to whom exactly should be cast!

Chris Pine for Blake and Gemma Arterton for Alexis!

She explains:

"She has all the qualities that Alexis needs. She's sexy. She looks clever and she's kind of vixenous. I do think Chris Pine would be great as Blake. He's a wonderful actor."

Granted, if she had it her way, SHE would be playing the part she originated herself!

She continues:

"I certainly couldn't play her in a prequel in the 1960s. But I always thought they should do it today with Alexis' grandchildren, who about 20 years ago were five and six."

YES! We like the idea of a modern-day Dynasty with Joan as Alexis just as much as a prequel - if not more!

C'mon, guys! Maybe she needs to show up at the beginning in 2011 - and then you can FLASH BACK to the '60s, so audiences can see how it all began!

Brilliance!

What do U think?? Should Joan Collins be in the new Dynasty movie??

Holy crap! This is ACTUALLY happening!

Although the proposed movie adaptation of classic series Dallas never panned it, Richard Shapiro has revealed that his even BETTER '80s prime-time soap, Dynasty, is getting the big-screen treatment!

The series creator explains that the film adaptation will be a prequel to the show, set in the 1960s, and will focus on oil tycoon Blake Carrington's - originally played by John Forsythe - discovery that he's the heir to his family's empire, and his love affair with the TRUE baddest bitch of all-time, Alexis Morell - AKA Joan Collins!!

He says:

"It's not the wild and crazy 1960s, but the early Kennedy years. We've given thought to the movie before and we've been approached by a lot of companies, but no one seemed to have a proper fix on it. Then suddenly we said, 'Let's do it [ourselves]!'—and we're the ones to do it. It was my daughter Florie's notion to do a prequel, and that sounded very very good to us. It's how young Blake doesn't realize he's the son of Tom Carrington, but then he finds himself at the head of this company and surrounded by assassins and people who want to do him in."

So yeah. This is pretty much the best news ever!

It doesn't matter if this thing is good or bad, it's still going to be amazing!

They just had BETTER bring back Joan in some capacity, or else we will BOYCOTT this shiz!

Hell, they might as well just have her play Alexis again, because we're not sure we can think of anyone else who could possibly do that character justice!

What do U think?? Are U excited to see a Dynasty movie?? WHO should play Alexis??!
