Despite being the city in which the popular television series was based, the upcoming film adaptation of Dallas may not actually be shot there due to high costs. Some private fundraising is being planned in order to create incentives for the studio to bring the film to the city where the TV series took place, but like all films, cost will be the deciding factor in whether or not Dallas actually comes to Dallas.  One producer maintains that Dallas is naturally the first choice, but it's still too early to know for sure. The reality of movie making, however, is that the celluloid version of Dallas will be whatever location is most economically viable. If producers do decide to venture elsewhere for a location, I hope the residents of Dallas will take some consolation in the fact that movies these days are rarely filmed in there supposed "actual locations." For example, Mission to Mars wasn't actually filmed on Mars. Frankly, I find that inexcusable.
