The creators of the 1980s primetime soap Dynasty are developing a big-screen adaptation of the series, as I was first to report yesterday.
Esther and Richard Shapiro's flick would be a prequel centered on a young Blake Carrington and his first wife Alexis.
Well, I just chatted with the original ruthless and bitchy Alexis—Joan Collins!
Who does she think should play the young future oil moguls? Read on to find out...

For Alexis, Collins thinks onetime Bond Girl and new face of G-Star, Gemma Arterton, would be perfect.
"She has all the qualities that Alexis needs," she exclusively told me from Birmingham, England, where she's costarring in stage show Dick Whittington. "She's sexy. She looks clever and she's kind of vixenous."
As for Blake (originally played by the late John Forsythe), Collins said, "I do think Chris Pine would be great as Blake. He's a wonderful actor."
Collins said she'd love to play Alexis again. "I certainly couldn't play her in a prequel in the 1960s," the 77-year-old Hollywood icon said, laughing. "But I always thought they should do it today with Alexis' grandchildren, who about 20 years ago were five and six."
