Samantha is cast as Nicole Kidman. I think: Darrin - Kevin Spacey Endora - Glenn Close Uncle Arthur - Jim Carrey Larry Tate - Dabney Coleman Louise Tate - Dr. Bombay - Alice Kravitz - Abner Kravitz - other cast members like Sam’s Aunt’s not sure. What do you think: What about the script, will they update, add or delete things, the only thing I can think of that would be deleted is the Martini’s. If it does anything how long will it take Hollywood to do I Dream of Jeannie. I actually thought of Nicole Kidman as Jeannie and Reese Witherspoon as Samantha, but then I am in DE, and not Hollywood. ---

Samantha – 1. Heather Locklear 2.Nicole Kidman 3. Reese Witherspoon Darrin – Anthony Edwards kevja does not, or will not, have a second choice. Except, there was a suggestion last time, for Bill Paxson to play Darrin the first half of the movie, then have Bill Pullman replace him for the second half. Or vice-versa. I just loved that. Endora – Sigourny Weaver, Glenn Close, or Katherine Helmond Maurice – Anthony Hopkins Larry Tate – Morgan Freeman Louise Tate – Courtney Cox (second trophy wife) Gladys Kravitz – the woman who played Roseanne’s sister Frank Stephens – David Canary (he could play Larry Tate too) Mrs. Stephens – Louise Fletcher Uncle Arthur – Will Farrell Aunt Clara – Alice Ghostly (wasn’t she Esmarelda in the original) Dr. Bombay – that guy is still alive, bring him back ---

A few years ago I was talking about a dream cast for BEWITCHED with a friend, and we came up with: Samantha–Emma Thompson Darrin–Kenneth Branagh Endora–Sian Phillips Maurice–Peter O’Toole And we wanted Bernard Fox back as Doctor Bombay. Of course, Emma and Ken don’t work with each other anymore, so it ain’t ever gonna happen. Sigh! ---

Abner and Gladys Kravitz would be played by the actors who were George Kostanza’s parents.
