I was on a website that was discussing the making of a movie based on Bewitched and there were several suggestions on who each character could be played by. The most popular choice for Samantha is Nicole Kidman(I agree) but I kind of doubt if she would be involved in a "fluff" movie like this. Jim Carrey was suggested for Darrin and I thought that was a great choice! I can just see him playing Darrin! My husband thinks Crispin Glover(who played George McFly in BTTF ) would be a good choice. So anyway who do you think should play the major roles?
Samantha
Darrin
Endora
Larry Tate
Aunt Clara
Uncle Arthur
Tabitha
Maurice
Louise Tate

I will have to think about the others some more.I am curious to see what you guys come up with!:D

Samantha- I know a lot of people think Nicole Kidman should play her, but what about Nicole's best friend Naomi Watts, she looks more like Samantha and I bet she could play her well.

Darin- Defintely Jim Carrey, he seems like the perfect choice, imo.

Uncle Arthur- Maybe Sean Hayes..

Tabitha- I think Dakota Fanning might be able to do a good job playing her.

I don't really know who should play the others..

I think it's best if they focus the movie on Darrin & Samantha meeting.Save Tabitha for #2 but yes she is a good choice.

Sean Hayes as Uncle Arthur--perfecto Larry Paul!

I think the only logical choice for Darrin is Jim Carrey, although I read last week that Will Farrell has signed on, and that Nicole Kidman is committed to the project as Samantha.

I wish it were either Alicia Silverstone or Kate Hudson. I'd love to weigh in more here, but I've got a Red Sox party to get ready for. :D

Kate Hudson and Jim Carrey! Yeah!:D

But I think Kate is a little too young. ?

I agree! Leave Tabitha out until the sequel.

You could be right. Maybe Alicia then. Meg Ryan would have been perfect 10 years ago.

I have heard that Alicia was considered. I think that would work. Meg would have worked too. But Meg tends to always play "Meg Ryan" in her comedy roles IMO. I am afraid that she would overshadow the Samantha character. I t will be interesting won't it?

Go Sox!:D

I agree - I think Naomi would be a much better choice :)

I don't think Jim Carrey would be good Darrin at all - not quite sure who I'd pick, someone a little more boy-next-door-ish. JMO :wave:

I read about this a long time ago- I've seen it covered on many places- even saw something about it on tv once. Anyway- for the past 10 years studios have been trying to get Bewitched off the ground. About 7 years ago some guy got real close- apparently he'd finished pre-production but he died and the project fell apart. Also- apparently Nicole has been in serious talks for a while about the movie. She kept changing her mind but apparently she's almost ready to sign- but she already has a few films scheduled for production or release (The Stepford Wives-plug!) next year.
As for Jim Carrey- I'm not sure if he's been discussed. Apparently 10 years ago when everyone was trying to make Bewitched, Diane Keaton and a few other stars of that time were considered.

Will Ferrell has signed on to play Darren according to IMDB.com. The movie is also set for release in 2005.

Ted Bessell('That Girl) was working on that. He died in 1996 I think.

Step away from the computer, put your hands up...slowly there Lane. Lol.
I think about that sort of stuff sometimes too, but I think it's our paranoia setting it.
Do you remember the old 70s poster, with the cartoon face peering out from the corner, looking scared, with the caption:

Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
:lol:

If Gilda Radner were still alive she'd be a good Mrs Kravitz, Im picturing her going AB-NER! AB-NER! COME HERE!

Vicki Lawrence and Dan Aykroyd would be good Kravitz's ( if they were still alive itd be Gilda Radner and john Ritter , or if it were just Ritter that was still alive itd be him and Vicki )

Mike Myers as Dr. Bombay

Sean Hayes, Hal Sparks or Jim Carrey as Uncle Arthur


I shouldve been the one making this movie :lol:

Bump!:D

I agree. Jim Carrey reminds me so much of Dick York, he looks like him and at times even kind of sounds like him. Will Ferrell doesn't seem like the right choice, but I guess we'll have to wait and see if he can pull it off.

I wonder if Jim Carrey was offered the role of Darrin?

Dabney Coleman as Larry Tate

Barbara Eden as Endora (Why not?)

Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara as Abner and Gladys Kravitz

I think tbey probably did, I don't know though. I think I remember him talking about it on Access Hollywood though.

BUMP

Steve Carrell ( The Daily Show, Anchorman ) is playing Arthur, Amy Sedaris is playing Mrs. Kravitz
