It true that their is going to be a bigscreen remake of Bewitched?? I heard Nicole Kidman might play Samantha....hmmm??

And I'd LOVE to see it happen! Nicole Kidman (IMO) would be a great 'Sam'...and of course Jim Carey would HAVE to play Darrin!

And how 'bout this...half way through the movie, SWITCH DARRINS! :idea:

And if she was a little younger and healthier...I've always thought Liz Taylor would make a great Endora! ;)

pontoon :cool:

lol switch Darrins==thatd be hilarious!

I think Nicole would be fine as Sam, but I'm not sure about Jim Carrey as Darrin--yes, he has the rubbery face, but I think he would totally dominate it with his antics. I'm also opposed to switching Darrins midway--it would mean the movie is a parody and I would prefer it be done straight as a romantic comedy--the way the show presented itself during the first three seasons.

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD REALLY?? Where on earth did you hear it?? I'll have to ask someone on The Nicole website... as you can tell i am an obsessed fan LOL. That would be really really cool!!!

Hi everyone..
I agree totally with Chuck and Pontoon. But if Jim Carey were to be Darrin, he'd have to tone himself down or he'd be ridiculing the show, IMO. Liz Taylor would make an excellent Endora too.. you folks should write the script...lol. So who do we have as baby Tabitha? Anyone?

BTW.. anyone know when and where Bewitched is aired these days?

Also.. does anyone know if it's available on DVD soon? I have about 20 eps on tape.

Thanks a bunch everyone.:wave: :wave: :wave:

Hehe yea. Umm..Bewitched airs on UPN for me in the AM, but Im sure its different for everyone. Hmmm...Tabitha?? Olsen twins are too old lol.

Jim Carrey ridiculing Bewitched??? You havent seen the Re-Run show than, have you? lol. Maybe you liked it (if you even saw it), but I thought it was totally stupid! It had NOTHING to do with the show! I like classic SO much better!!

Anyways..good luck with the Bewitched on tv! Id recommend www.gist.com Gives you listings of shows in your area.;)

I always thought Meg Ryan would be the perfect actress to play Samantha Stevens in a modern movie. She looks a lot like Elizabeth Montgomery (at least to me she does).

God I hope they NEVER make that Bewitched movie!!!!! Leave it alone I say and just cherish the wonderful series. No performers could work the magic (no pun intended) that the original cast could. And Nicole Kidman as Samantha? Ug!!! she hasn't got one tenth of the charm of Elizabeth Montgomery. It's like trying to do a remake of "Gone With The Wind"..... sacriledge. Although I DO think Elizabeth Taylor would be excellent as Endora. Joan Collins would be another great choice too I think but really...NO ONE can replace Agnes Moorehead in the role she was one of a kind and made Endora an unforgettable classic character.

There are lots of good possibilities for actors in a Bewitched movie in this old thread.

Why must these stupid movies try ruining these AWESOME classic shows?

Oh, good. I thought I was the only one who wasn't too crazy about the idea of a Bewitched movie. I dunno, it just really bothers me. I'd rather Bewitched be remembered as it is, as this perfect show with a great cast back in the '60s and early '70s. I don't want it updated and messed with and played by different actors. Look, if people started saying they wanted to do a remake of say, Casablanca, people would be riotous about it, wouldn't they? 'Cause Casablanca's a classic and all that. To me, Bewitched is the same thing. You just don't mess with classics.

I really hope they do make the movie. I think Meg Ryan would be the perfect Actress to play Samantha. To bad Elizabeth is not alive, she could have at least directed the movie.

I agree with everyone who thinks it's a bad idea because it is. When I think of Bewitched I like to think of the actual show not some crummy movie. Lets face it, remake movies aren't as always as good as the original thing itself. If they do however make the movie the only way you'd get me to go watch it is if Betty White plays Aunt Clara. I have no intention of going to see Nicole Kidman ruin Samantha's wonderful charm. For pete's sake, Samantha should at least be played by someone who's American! :eek:

At almost 42, I think Meg Ryan is too old for the role of Samantha. My vote goes to Drew Barrymore or Reese Witherspoon.
For Darrin, it just has to be Jim Carrey. He would have to tone it down a few notches, and he'd be perfect for the role.
I'd love to see a Bewitched movie. I think it would be a tribute to the memory of the show.

I agree that there should NOT be a Bewitched movie. I can't think of one actress out there today who even comes close to having Elizabeth Montgomerys' charm and beauty. I agree that Jim Carey could make a good Darrin but NO ONE, I mean NO ONE could ever play Samantha as good as Liz. Why don't we all just enjoy watching the reruns on TV and just be grateful that the show is back on TVLand.

Not sure if it would ever come as close to the original but with the right direction it might be pretty good. Much as I dislike Jim Carrey I think he would be perfect for Darrin--the look, the antics would fit him perfectly. However Nicole Kidman as Samantha--don't think she has what it takes to pull it off. What about my favorite new actress--_Reese Witherspoon? She might be a better choice!

Sorry if my reply is late but I am new here!

Hi and welcome :wave:

I must agree Reese is a much better candidate than Nicole. :)

I think Kate Hudson would be a good choice to play Samantha. She has that delicate elegant beauty that Elizabeth Montgomery had. She's a very talented actress too.
I'll say it again. Jim Carrey for Darrin. There are times when I'm watching Dick York's face and Jim Carrey will come to my mind out of nowhere. Carrey would just have to tone his performance down to portray Darrin.

Kate Hudson.

I can't remember the name of this movie. Jim Carrey starred as a guy who was the only one in a fictitious town who was unaware that it was all staged. Hopefully that's enough info so that you all will know which movie I mean. In that movie he did tone down his performance. I could see him playing Darrin perfectly. He could play it a lot better than Darrin the second did.

Beth You're not late. The meeting has just begun. Welcome to the board.
I'm pretty taken with Reese myself. She does have a special character about her. I think her unusual (and very attractive) mouth would in some special way fit into the twitching uperlip calling card of Bewitched, and Elizabeth. Reese also has the comical ability to pull it off. Another thing that is so important, as you can see just by reading this thread as an example, is that Reese is very likeable. To fill the shoes of Elizabeth Montgomery, that asset might be the most important one.

The movie you're thinking of is The Truman Show.

Yes, I agree that Jim Carrey is the best candidate to portray "Darrin" (a la Dick York) as long as he stays within the realm of human behavior. So far, that's the only role I can be decisive about.

I read on HARPIESBIZZARE.COM that both Julia Roberts & Lisa Kudrow have both said they'd like to star in a movie version, and Julia Roberts would alo like for Doris Day to come out of retirement to play Endora.
I think either one of them would be good, also Liz Taylor or Joan Collins as Endora. I don't think, however, that Drew Barrymore would be right.
Also on the HARPIESBIZZARE site, it says that two of the suggected choices for Larry & Louise Tate are Jerry Seinfeld and Julia-Louise Dreyfus. NO WAY!!!
They also say that Kasey Rogers (who played Louise Tate) and Benard Fox (Dr. Bombay) have said they wouldn't mind playing the roles again.

There's some interesting choices on there. Like, someone suggested Patrick Stewart of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" as Larry Tate! REALLY!!:D :D :D :D

To paraphrase Samantha, "No one is a pure American except an Indian."

I didn't think much of the Beverly Hillbillies remake so I have some reservations. I agree with the Jim Carrey choice. He always reminded me of Dick York for some reason especially when Carrey starred in the t.v show as a cartoonist. I forget the name of it. But how about Alicia Silverstone as Samantha?

I think Nicole is perfect for the role of Sammantha!! Can't wait! I also heard she and Jim Carrey had lunch recently to talk about him playing Darrin. I hear he is considering doing it! ::crosses fingers::

Actually, I stole that from someone's blog and I just agreed with it. :lol:

I just really don't like Nicole and I certainly don't see any resemblance between Liz and Nicole. Nicole thinks she's all that and because she's a big celebrity she thinks she has the right to play Samantha. She shouldn't get the role because she's a big celebrity it should go to someone who deserves and plays the role the best. What it comes down to it's gonna be given to Nicole because she's a big celeb and therefore she'll bring in more of her fans to make a bigger profit. I'm sorry, but I just don't like her. I know half of you do, but hey I'm entitled to my opinion.

As much as I love Bewitched the only way you're gonna get me to go see the movie if Nicole is cast is if they cast Betty White as Aunt Clara or as another character. Otherwise, I'm not even gonna bother and I know some of you are gonna say 'but if a movie comes out then Bewitched might have a better chance of coming on dvd.' Well, what happens if the movie bombs? Then we may never see Bewitched on dvd because of it. I'm just not too fond of classic tv shows being remade into movies.

double post

Pandora,
I totally agree with you. I hate this whole idea of a Bewitched movie. Sacrelidge i think. Who would ever think a remake of Gone With The Wind or Casablanca would be a good idea? It's the same with Bewitched. It would be just a pale imitation of the beautiful original and no performers could take these roles and play them as effectively as the original cast. Forget the idea and go on to new projects and let the series itself continue to enchant and entertain new generations

They should just forget this movie idea and do something smart like hmm maybe put the show on dvd. So we can see the episodes uncut without tv land interruptions and commercials, but you know why would they wanna do that when they can mock Bewitched by making a crappy movie.

I think it's a fun idea to bring the show to the big screen. Can't be any worse then the Brady Bunch movies (which I loved) lol.

I'm sorry I need to say this

NICOLE THINKS SHE'S ALL THAT?

Try reading about this woman, watch her in an interview, read her bio or SOMETHING before you say that. I am a HUGE Nic fan, and she is NOT full of herself, she is lovely, beautiful and SO Talented. She has a lot of charm, in her own way, no she will not BE the new Liz but she DOES have charm, she has more charm in her thin, pale little pinky then most people have in their entire body and THEN SOME! No one should be compared to Liz, it's not fair but to INSULT Nic and her fans when OBVIOSULY you know nothing about her just...just isn't cool. She is WONDERFUL and in MY opinion (which we've agreed to that everyone is aloud to have) I think Elizabeth would be PROUD of Nicole, who is beautiful, talented and above all things, INCREDIBLY BRAVE.

Sorry If I sound a bit too strongwilled or bitchy....I don't mean any harm or anything....because all (most :p) Bewitched fans are amazing...but so are all Nic fans.

Hey, I have the right to my opinion about Nicole as others do about Liz and Bewitched so you're not gonna change my mind about how I feel about Nicole. I don't like her, it's not the end of the world. Some people don't like Liz either, but I ignore those people so just ignore me if you don't like it.

Well, all I think Bluie was trying to say was that you should'nt say untrue things about people, just because you don't like them. To me, no one else come close to looking like Liz like Nicole. I think shes going to be so good as Liz.

Holly,

I wasn't trying to change your mind, I just had to say that as a Nicole follwer, she isn't high up on herself. :) I love, adore Elizabeth and if I didn't think Nicole would be a good Sam I would say so. Just 'cause I like Nicole doesn't mean I think everything she does is great, if you know what I mean, but I feel like she would make a great Sam. For example, I like Will Ferrel, and I like Get Smart. It's rumoured that Will will play Maxwell Smart, and I don't think he'd make a good Max. I hope I'm making sense...and I don't WANT to ignore you because I like you, I think you're very talented at webdesign and fanart (As you know;)) And I definatly don't want this to be a big thing. And of course you are entitled to your opinion, even if I don't agree with it! ;)

I agree with Platinum_Blonde (Bea, still beside me right now LOL) I don't think Reese or Kate would make a good Sam, and I adore them as well! :lol:

Well, I just wanna make something else straight I hate when you Nicole fans go around and say 'oh I think Liz would be pleased about Nicole playing Sam.' Well, now you're saying things about Liz that may or may not be true just like I said Nicole is stuck up. That's how I see that chick I'm sorry, but thats how I see it and I know tons of other people who feel the same way about her.
When Bewitched went off the air in 1972 that was it for Liz. She wanted to move on from anything that had to do with Bewitched. I don't think she'd even follow up on who would be playing in the upcoming movie if she was still alive because BW in all aspects was a thing of the past to her. Yes, I'm sounding like you about Nicole, but I know more about Liz and I seriously doubt she'd be at all interested in the upcoming movie and who's being cast in it. Yes, again like you I'm just stating what I've read and such about how she felt about BW towards the end. I'm sorry, but I just had to get that off of my chest make what you want of it, but I'm seriously tired of everyone saying that.
What it comes down to is that I'd rather spend 50 bucks on a season one dvd set of the original Bewitched than spend $8 on a probably horrible remake of my favorite show. I could careless about the movie all I want is this show on dvd, but then will go back to the arguement about how if the movie comes out then then BW might have a chance on dvd. But then I'll say well what if the movie does horribly at the box office and we still don't see any dvd? Really, I'm done and tired of this subject. I've stated my case on this subject about a 100 times now. Here's what I want no movie, unless someone else plays Sam and BW to come out on dvd. The end. :wave:

Holly,
I'm so, SO sorry if I insulted Liz in any way, I would never in a million lifetimes EVER insult her on purpose, please believe me. You're right, you DO know more about Liz then I do, (and I know more about Nic then you do) and I am very sorry if I said something to offend you, I really am. I'm beginning to get a stomache ache, I think I'm getting to tied up on this subject. :crazy:

Actually, I have to agree with you. I'd rather have BW on dvd then the movie...one reason is I think Nicole is just filming too much right now, but mostly because...well...OBVIOUSLY the tv show will be better then the movie! :D That's a big duh!

Anyway I hope this whole thing doesn't effect anything in a negative way...I think you're a cool person and I'd like to maybe chat with you sometime...however if you wish me off the face of the planet, thats cool too!

xXMeg

While I'm sure that Nicole Kidman is a fine actress (although, I personally have never liked any of her movies, except for "The Others"), it's the whole principle of the thing that annoys me. The fact that she wants to do the movie is sort of annoying to me because, even though I know it's most likely not the case, her saying she's interested in doing a Bewitched movie is like her saying, "I'm just as good as Elizabeth Montgomery." I know it's not really like that, but that's what upsets me about the whole entire thing. Hollywood's obsession with updating things. Sure, it may be interesting to see how they pull things off forty years later, but why does Hollywood always think they can do things better than they were done back then? Ugh. And Jim Carrey as Darrin? I like Jim Carrey, but please. I've already seen enough actors playing Darrin, thank you.

And I agree with pandora_spocks. What if the movie flops and as a result we don't get our DVDs? If I don't get Bewitched on DVD, I'll throw a crazy, insane, and melodramatic fit. :crazy:

Of course, if Bernard Fox is in it or makes a cameo, I'll have to go see it. I'm obligated because I like him so much.

I don't get why this has turned into a dispute, either/or kind of discussion. Why does Nicole Kidman deserve to be knocked around so hard just because she might want to play Samantha? What is it about the possibility of a Bewitched movie that calls for the harsh 'that's a horrible idea' opinions? It's not the worst idea to ever come down the pike.

I don't claim to know what Elizabeth Montgomery would have thought about the movie idea. I have my thoughts about what she would have thought though. She might have been flattered and felt honored that there is enough interest and attention being given to Bewitched that a movie would even be considered. I also suspect that she would be supportive of Niclole Kidman playing the roll of Samantha. I'm curious to know if Elizabeth Montgomery ever expressed any thoughts about Niclole Kidman, as an actress and as a person. Since Nicole is such a high profile actress, it is possible that Elizabeth Montgomery is 'on record' having expressed something about her. The two might even have met sometime.

Thats a lot of what I thought, I know Nicole looked up to and admired Liz a lot, a lot, a lot, the same way many people at THIS board admire Liz. I don't think Nic is the kind of woman who would do something if she didn't think it was right, if it was going to demean BW or Liz, I mean she grew UP on that!

Forgive me, but I like said before I just don't like Nicole. I'm sorry you all got disgusted by that, but everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Some think it's a good idea for the movie and for Nicole to play the part and some don't. I happen to reside with the people who think it's a bad idea.
I'm just afraid that it's gonna flop and then we'll never see the dvd sets ever. With the way things are going now anyway, we probably won't. I respect that Nicole is a big fan of BW & Liz, but I'm sure there's a lot of other talented actresses out there who are too and they at least should have a chance at that part.

Oh no I wasn't disgusted, I just knwo Nicole isn't all "I'm Nicole Kidman and I am God" about herself!

I can't wait for this movie to come out. I just hope they don't mess it up at all. I am praying that the sets are close to the original. I have my own ideas of actors I would like to see in the movie but I'll have to accept who they choose.

I just wish this topic wouldn't upset or anger any one over who might play who in the movie. If your excited about the movie then go and see it when it comes out, if you are agenst the movie don't see it. It's as simple as that. I don't like getting on this message board and seeing someones opinion screamed across my screen. This board is for Bewitched fans and not for Bewitched bashing.

*is a Bewitched fan*

;)

I actually agree with you. I didnt mean to upset anyone though. :)

Joan Collins would make an excellent Endora... She used to be a real B*TCH on Dynasty..

Has anyone else heard that Will Farrell from SNL (Saturday Night Live) has been signed on to play Darrin along side Nicole Kidman in the Bewitched Movie?

I really hope that I was reading things wrong. I REALLY don't think that Will can be Darrin. I wonder what happened to Jim Carrey?

Anyone know of any other actors in the movie as of yet?

Since Will Ferrell signed and is going to play Darrin I'm trying to keep an open mind. Will Ferrell is not that good of an actor, he acts the same in most of his movies. His talent is in sketch comedy and in impersonations which is why he did well on Saturday Night Life. Playing Darrin will be a change for him in my opinion.

I love Jim Carrey and I think he's the better actor. He's proven himself in both comedy and drama. However I did not want him because in my opinion I thought he would dominate the film.

My choice would have been a good character actor.

The pairing of Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell is a rather odd one.

Um, yes. Wow. Will...Ferrell? This doesn't make ANY sense. He...no. No! Uck! I adore, I ADORE Will Ferrell...but...as...Darrin? Oh my...

I like Will Farrell enough but thinks it's awful casting to have him portray Darrin.
Jim Carrey, in my opinion, is the logical choice. Perhaps he turned it down.

There is a possibility that Jim Carrey turned it down for the same reason Nicolas Cage turned down playing Superman. It's takingt to long to get the movie started.. Will Farrel playing Darrin? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will Farrel is more likely to be cast as John Trapper McIntyre for M*A*S*H remake. If they ever make a M*A*S*H movie based on the TV show. Will Farrel is the wrong choice... He doesn't look like Darrin Stephens and he isn't as smart enough. This would be a stretch for him to play such a role. I do hope Nicole Kidman sticks to this role... it was made for her. I hope the movie doesn't mock the tv show like "A Very Brady Sequal" did.

Well, I'm afraid that I don't know who Wil Farrel is but, IMHO, I think that Jim Carrey would make an excellent "Uncle Arthur."

Signed,
Respectfully,
Dutch

Robin Williams looks more like he could play Uncle Arthur than Jim Carrey. Please... But we don't know which characters will appear in the movie... I hope Aunt Clara appears... Betty White could really pull that role off. And I'm still sticking with the idea of Joan Collins playing Endora... She can be such a B****

well, I haven't heard ANYTHING about a "Bewitched" movie. I' ve heard that an "I dream of Jeannie" movie has been talked about, though.
And I also think Will Farrell would be wrong for Darrin.


(I heard they want Sarah Jessica Parker and either George Clooney or Robert Downey Jr. for the IDOJ movie)

I have been trying to deal with this Will Farrell thing and I just can't stomach the idea. I've seen the previews of his latest movie "The Elf" and IMO he could never pull off Darrin Stephens.

As for Jim Carrey, I don't think he got fired like I heard earlier on this message board, I think he has other movies to make and didn't have the time. Hopefully, his schedule will open up by the time the Bewitched movie is filmed so I think we still have hope for Jim.

I also heard that Bewitched is coming to DVD along with the opening of the movie and I am so excited about that. IDOJ will also be out on DVD, I just hope that both are in season order instead of catagory like on video.

Oh yeah I forgot Uncle Arthur and I feel Nathan Lane could totally nail that part.....It's too bad we lost John Ritter who also would of done this character great justice.

I'D APPRECIATE EVERYONES FEEBACK AND INPUT ON THE CASTING!!

I disagree with your entire list! Espesially Courtney Cox or Megan Mullowey. They're both too young! And Megan Mullowey would probably be asked to use that voice she uses on "Will & Grace". GOD, I hate that voice!!!
And Sean Connery would be ENTIRELY wrong for Maurice!

Any input, other than negativity?

You had other good suggestions besides those.;)

For Louise Tate, Ann Archer from Fatal Attraction would be perfect casting!
As for the remaining living original cast, cameos would be great...
We can have Erin Murphy play Betty, Darrin's secretary.
We could see Kasey Rogers turn up as Aunt Hagatha & we can see Bernard Fox continue to play Dr. Bombay & Alice Ghostley do a cameo as Esmerelda.

With Nicole Kidman & Will Ferrell signed to do the new movie & I am not too happy with Ferrell as Darrin, so here's my wish list for the new movie....

Samantha...Nicole Kidman
Darrin #1...Jim Carrey
Darrin #2...Robert Picardo
Endora...Shirley MacLaine
Larry...Jeffrey Jones
Louise...Ann Archer
Gladys Kravitz...Roseanne Barr
Abner Kravitz...Peter Boyle
Uncle Arthur...Nathan Lane
Maurice...Patrick Stewart
Aunt Clara...Betty White
Dr. Bombay...Bernard Fox I agree with all your choices exept for Robert Picardo, Shirley MacLaine & Patrick Stewart. They'd be all wrong!

I also thought of Angelica Houston as "Endora". I was wondering, though, have you considered Maggie Smith (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) for the role? In addition to her accent, she has that regal, somewhat condescending demeanor about her. Besides, she has great comic delivery.*

* Check her out in the movie Murder by Death (circa 1976)!
