Kidman Noses Into Bewitched

[Cannikin]

Ending a month of speculation, Nicole Kidman has made a deal to star with Will Ferrell in Bewitched, a movie based on the 1960s supernatural TV sitcom, Variety reported. Nora Ephron will direct her own script for Columbia Pictures, the trade paper reported.

Kidman will take on the role of Samantha Stevens, a suburban witch who marries a mortal (Ferrell). Samantha was originally played by Elizabeth Montgomery. Shooting will start this summer.

2. my favorite idea....

....for this movie was to switch to another actor playing darren half way through the movie and nobody in the movie notices.

9. then I'd recommend you not see it.....you might ruin it for those of us..

who do!


Sci-fi has done a kick ass job of re-inventing Battlestar Galactica. I think TV is running out of new ideas!

11. Poor Liz must be rolling over in her grave!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nicole can't do drama, and she sure as hell can't do comedy. A big bomb--go back down under!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[madmax]

13. Ouch!

:scared:

14. I wonder who will play Gladi's Kravitz? Edie McClure?

Rosy O'Donnell has the voice.

[BlueJazz]

16. I just can't see Kidman as Samantha

I believe the part calls for an actress with a "softer" look
maybe like Renee Zellweger.

17. Elizabeth Montgomery

did not have a "soft" look - her features were quite defined and she was stunningly beautiful. Nicole has bone structure that is very similar to Elizabeth's. Renee's face is not defined enough, in my opinion.
