Bewitched - Nicole Kidman, Will Ferrell, Shirley MacLaine, Nora Ephron

Threat advisory: Under evaluation

Movie propaganda

Just when his career hits an all-time low, a conceited and frustrated movie star, Jack Wyatt (Will Ferrell), gets one last shot when he's cast to do a remake of a cult TV series, Bewitched, playing the lead role of 'Darren'. In search of his leading lady, 'Samantha', the competitive, insecure Wyatt makes it pretty clear to his producers that his co-star needs to be an unknown, so as not to steal his thunder. Finally, after weeks of searching, he finds the perfect witch in the shy Isabel Bigelow (Nicole Kidman), but he has no idea just how 'perfect' she really is. So, as the script for the popular show is being re-tooled to, instead, centre around Darren's character, the actor Wyatt soon discovers that his increasingly annoyed new leading lady, Isabel - who begins to wreak havoc on set - is an actual witch, who can truly cast spells.
