Priscilla Presley says she would not be interested in acting in the film version of Dallas.

A number of Hollywood stars are said to be negotiating for parts in the film, but Presley said she didn't believe she would be involved.

She explained: “I’m very reluctant about it because I don’t know how it can get better than what we had. This is a whole new generation and I don’t know if they will appreciate it as much as our generation.

“We grew up with it, we knew the characters very well, we knew the actors very well. It is a different time period now. I don’t know if I would want to be in something that was already successful and risk myself with something that may or may not be."
