Will farrell and Nicole Kidman starring in "Bewitched"?!
How interesting..
http://imdb.com/title/tt0374536/


"Though Nicole Kidman is the playing the big-screen witch, it is clearly a WILL FERRELL brand comedy, since Will had his ex-SNL buddy and Anchorman director Adam McKay doctor the Nora & Delia Ephron romantic comedy script to fit his co-starring goofball comedy needs.
Next, he plunked his ANCHORMAN co-stars Chris (Daily Show) Carrell as flamer warlock "Uncle Arthur",and suggested Fred Willard as "Dr. Bombay" (despite the fact that the original tv actor Bernard Fox is waiting in wings to play his old role).

Ferrell also threw a "Gladys Kravitz" cameo to his ELF co-star Amy Sedaris, and the role of his agent to his ELF co-star Zooey Deschanel's boyfriend Jason Schwartzman. Sound cozy?

Luckily, Nora Ephron who is still the Bewitched director (on paper anyway), was able to snag Shirley MacLaine, Michael Caine and Joan Plowright without Will's assistance."

==================================
Sounds pretty funny but aren't they concerned about the "Bewitched curse"?

1. To be true to the spirit of the TV Series
They'll need to replace Will Farrell with someone else about midway through the film.

2. If the director
had any sense of humor they would do exactly that. It'd be perfect.

I hafta say, Nicole as Samantha is brilliant casting.

7. I agree!
Some friends and I were just saying the other day how much Nicole Kidman resembles Elizabeth Montgomery.

3. And He'll Have to Have The Same First Name
So Will Farrell would be replaced by Will Smith. And no one would act like anything changed.....

4. Jim Carrey would be a better Darrin
But that would probably cost too much. And yeah, I agree with changing "Darrens" mid-movie.

Who's playing Endora? Shirley MacLaine?

5. I predict a total suck-fest
I like Kidman and Ferrell both, but I don't think this movie is going to be any good. Just a hunch. And yeah, Jim Carrey would have been a better call.

6. You'd Think
Nicole would have learned her lesson, from Stepford Wives. I guess not.

Just sayin'. ;-)
