"Bewitched" Trailer

[filkertom]

Normally, I look upon theatrical movies based on TV series with all the enthusiasm one reserves for fruit-canning competitions. I mean, the track record is just so good. Let's see: Batman the Movie, Star Trek 2... ah-yup.

However, the full trailer for Bewitched, starring Will Ferrell and Nicole Kidman, has been released. And damn if it don't look at least a little interesting.

(Although someone really ought to tell Nicole that she's not actually twitching her nose, just her upper lip.)

I had a boyhood crush on Elizabeth Montgomery, so this bothered me initially, till I -saw- Kidman in a scene. I met Ms. Montgomery a couple of times when we used the same dog groomer, and she was as pleasant and charming and unassuming as you could hope for. I actually cried when she died.

I'm still not too pleased with the concept; it's like messing with Star Trek and turning it into Enterprise.

I really think I'd have preferred the first choice for "Darren" -- Jim Carrey. I think he'd have been a fine heir to Dick York. Shirley MacLaine, on the other hand, is a bloody brilliant choice for Endora.
