In keeping with the classic sitcom, we still think that Columbia
Pictures should cast two actors to play Darrin Stevens in the big-screen
remake of ''Bewitched.'' Nonetheless, the studio has picked just one,
according to the Hollywood Reporter. It's Will Ferrell, who'll bring his
comic gifts to the old-school series about a fussy man married to a
magical witch. Nicole Kidman is attached to the lead role of Samantha
Stevens, with Nora Ephron (''You've Got Mail'') directing.
Ferrell just landed another role, in New Line's comedy ''The
Salesman,'' Variety reports. He'll play a stereo salesman who's a
compulsive liar. That may be good for business, but in his personal
life, the falsehoods escalate to the point where he's engaged to two
women because he can't bear to disappoint either one. Meanwhile, Ferrell
fans can catch him on screen in November as an overgrown North Pole
workshop denizen in ''Elf.''
