Ferrell Brings Magic Touch to 'Bewitched' [the talks with Carrey failed]

"Old School" star Will Ferrell has landed the coveted role of Darrin in a feature remake of "Bewitched."

The Columbia Pictures project, which is expected to star Nicole Kidman in the lead role of Samantha, is being directed by Nora Ephron ("You've Got Mail").

Ferrell has been busy of late, with starring turns in the upcoming New Line comedy "Elf" and the DreamWorks comedy "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy."


TOPICS: TV/Movies
KEYWORDS: bewitched; darrin
That'll save 'em a jillion bucks, but Carrey would have been the perfect first Darrin.

Anybody who saw "Practical Magic" can tell you how great Kidman will be for this part, but without a great Darrin, it'll flop.

Just great. Are there any '60s TV shows that haven't been made into movies? I assume I Dream of Jeannie is next.

The next Austin Powers movie should be a tribute to Lancelot Link Secret Chimp.
