Bewitched
Based On: The long-running '60s TV show starring Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick York
Updating Technique: It's a comedy of Hollywood manners. The premise is that they're remaking the old show (Will Ferrell plays an actor playing Darrin) and—oops—they cast a real witch (Nicole Kidman) as Samantha
Stunt Casting: The film's crew doubled as the TV show's crew members in the movie, making them possibly the most qualified extras ever
Watch For: Michael Caine (Nigel) and Shirley MacLaine (Endora), who are reunited as lovers for the first time since Gambit (1966), Caine's first American film. For Gambit MacLaine, who starred, specifically requested him as her leading man

NEXT: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
