Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell to do Bewitched

I think this one has tons of potential. I like Ferrell and Kidman both very much (for different reasons obviously). As a young kid, I would sometimes watch the old Bewitched reruns on tv in the afternoons. No Oscars here, this one is being made with 2 words in mind: 1) BOX 2) OFFICE

After much speculation, Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman has officially signed a pay-or play deal with Columbia Pictures to star with Will Ferrell in a big screen adaptation of the Emmy-winning television series Bewitched. Nora Ephron is helming the adaptation of the classic 1960′s series, with Red Wagon partners Doug Wick and Lucy Fisher producing. Ephron also adapted the story about a mere mortal man, Darrin (Ferrell), who falls in love with and marries a beautiful and friendly witch, Samantha (Kidman).
