Nicole Kidman is in discussions to star in Columbia Pictures' comedy "Bewitched," a feature film adaptation based on the long-running television series of the same name, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

No offers have been made to Kidman, and no deal is in place for her to star, but the actress is said to have expressed interest in the starring role of pretty witch Samantha, who earnestly tries to abandon her powers for the sake of her mortal husband, Darren, but temptation constantly gets in the way.

Sources said Mike Myers is the top choice to play Darren. But alas, the casting of spells won't begin just yet.

The project has no director on board and is out to writers to begin a new draft, starting from scratch.

Penny Marshall, who at one point had been developing the feature film version, is expected to produce the project in some capacity.
