Editors note... so this is old content from pre-2004. Eventually Kidman would appear in the movie Bewitched (2005). The TV show Betwitched has been said to be inspired by I Married a Witch and its likely this was the reason for obtaining the rights.
Interestingly there are rumblings about a new remake in 2023
Well unfortunately the predictable happened and the resulting movie was an underwhelming and rather lacklustre comedy ’Bewitched’ movie. Lake’s movie "I Married a Witch" is credited as the inspiration of the long-running and well loved TV show and a natural starting point for a movie remake of the TV series.
The original cast included Veronica Lake (as Jennifer the witch), Fredric March (as the descendant of her executioner).
The break up of Tom and Nicole meant the project was shelved until Kidman decided she would take on the part of Jennifer and did indeed revert much to the style of the TV show of the same name.
Tom Cruise is set to create and produce a remake of the 1942 Veronica Lake film ’I Married a Witch’. Nicole Kidman has not been ruled out as playing ’Jennifer’ the witch.
The original cast included Veronica Lake (as Jennifer the witch), Fredric March (as the descendant of her executioner).
More will be added here as and when new information is released.
The break up of Tom and Nicole ment the project was shelved but is now looking likely that Kidman will star as Jennifer and may even revert much of the style of the movie to the tv show of the same name.
Lets hope the movie will tip the wink to Lake again in the way L.A. Confidential did and revive interest in her again.
