The HOLLYWOOD REPORTER announced today that Nicole Kidman has been in discussions to star in Columbia Pictures upcoming film adaptation of BEWITCHED, based on the television series of the same name.

Kidman has yet to be offered the role, but the actress has expressed interest in the starring role of Samantha, the witch who struggles with abandoning her otherworldly powers for the love of her mortal husband, Darren. Mike Myers is considered to be the top choice to play the bumbling Darren.

But before the magic can begin, writers will be working their magic on a rewrite of the script and a director will need to be attached to the project. Penny Marshall is expected to produce.
