The feature film version of ABC’s The Big Valley appears to be in full swing. Susan Sarandon is not yet confirmed to play the matriarch Victoria Barkley, but Ryan Phillippe looks like a lock as Jarrod, and Richard Dreyfuss, Bruce Dern and Billy Bob Thornton are all tentatively attached. Lee Majors, who played the sullen bastard of the clan, Heath Barkley, may show up as Victoria’s late husband Tom in the movie. If true, expect his role to be a cameo.
